The school provides French, Spanish, Mandarin and Tagalog (included in the curriculum in the 2009/2010 year) as a second language instruction. Lacombe is one of a small number of Calgary high schools to offer an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in English, French, and Spanish.
Father Lacombe participates in many sports sanctioned by the Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association and the Alberta Schools Athletic Association, including Football, Basketball, Soccer, Cross Country Running, and Volleyball. The teams support both male and female, as well as the senior and junior teams.
Simon's Legacy (originally Simon's Project) was an ongoing fundraiser started by Simon Atem[2]. He started it, hoping to earn enough money in order to build a school in his homeland Sudan. Between coffee houses and other fund raising ideas, Simon was able to raise an accumulative amount of roughly $40,000 over two years.
Each year, Father Lacombe hosts a Run/Walk fundraiser for Simon's Legacy, usually held near the last months of the school year
