Overbrook Catholic School students are growing and serving their own produce harvested from the OCS Beyond the Brook Farm garden beds and STEM lab hydroponic towers. Inspired by Laudato Si', Pope Francis’ encyclical on care for God’s creation, this initiative brings sustainability to life as students see the fruits and vegetables of their labor served in cafeteria meals through a partnership with City Kitchen. 

On April 19, 2026, Overbrook Catholic piloted its inaugural “Enneatholon,” a nine-event meet that consisted of the Turbo Javelin, Shot Put, Long Jump, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, and the 4x100 relay. In total, 56 students across grades 1–6 participated in the event, making it a school-wide celebration of track and field. 

As part of his annual commitment to celebrate Mass with every school in the Diocese of Nashville, the Most Reverend J. Mark Spalding visited Overbrook Catholic School on Friday, March 6, 2026, joining students, faculty, and staff for a schoolwide Mass. 

Overbrook Catholic School welcomed back one of its own on Friday, February 27, as alumnus Father David Lee ‘06 returned to campus to lead the school’s annual Faith Rally, nearly twenty years after graduating from OCS himself. 

In addition to faith formation in the classroom and weekly Mass, students are invited into regular moments of prayer throughout the day. The school chapel, located along a main hallway, offers a quiet place where students of all ages can stop in to spend time with Jesus, offer a quick prayer between classes, or make the Sign of the Cross as they pass by— small habits that help build a lifelong relationship with Christ. 

Throughout October, Overbrook Catholic School celebrated the Church's dedication to the holy rosary throughout in many ways, including an all-school rosary procession, the creation of a 20-decade "flat rosary," and participation in Pope Leo XIV's Global Rosary for Peace.

For 40 years, the Overbrook Classic Basketball Tournament has been the unofficial kickoff to the middle school season. This year, it is set for Dec. 8-13 at the Overbrook Catholic School and St. Cecilia Academy gyms.

“The Overbrook Classic is an institution within the parochial athletic community,” said Kammeon Holsey, Overbrook Catholic School athletic director. “It is an early indication of how teams will perform against some of the best competition in the city.”
