Life At Canisius
Canisius is a Catholic, Jesuit, college-preparatory school founded in 1870 for boys in grades 9 through 12. Canisius offers a challenging curriculum that provides a broad range of course offerings that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, complemented by a host of enriching electives. The school offers its students participation in inter-scholastic sports as well as dozens of music ensembles, teams, and clubs. At the heart of it all is a commitment to Christian Service in the Jesuit tradition, designed to instill the desire to become a "Man for Others" in each and every graduate.

The 2022 high school football schedules have yet to be announced, but there’s already one date that Western New York sports fans can circle on the calendar.
In a matchup of two of Western New York’s elite programs, Canisius High School will play at Lancaster High School on Friday night, Sept. 30, at the Legends’ historic Foyle-Kling Field, the schools announced Wednesday.
“Games like this make the high school football experience better for the kids, and fans and the community,” Canisius Director of Athletics Jim Mauro said.

On Sunday, 40 people will attempt to play hockey in downtown Buffalo for 11 straight days, raising money to fight cancer as part of the fifth edition of the 11-Day Power Play.
Not surprisingly, three of those literally living in the rink will be “Men for Others.”
Three Canisius High School graduates will be on the ice for up to 10 hours a day, around the clock, from start to finish: Peter Merlo ’88 and Michael Meade ’87 will play while Mark Paradowski ’99 will be one of three officials skating regular shifts, just like the players. When they’re not part of the game, they’ll be sleeping on temporary beds a few steps from the rink at Buffalo Riverworks.
