There is a class wide contest at Seton Keough called "Year Day". A theme for the event is chosen (such as Disney movies, board games, decades, etc.) and each class must decorate a hallway, write a song, create a t-shirt, perform a dance, skit and a cheer in respect with the theme. A board of teachers judges them and ranks them from 1st to 4th place in each event. The class with the overall high score wins bragging rights until a new Year Day Champ is named. There are also other games during the course of the day, such as pie eating contests, tug-o-war, floor hockey, basketball, and slip-n-slide.
An annual Halloween costume contest is held each year. With the categories of; (per grade level) best single costume, best double costume, best group costume, cutest costume, funniest costume, and scariest costume. The senior class traditionally dresses in a grade-wide themed costume. The class of 2008 dressed as convicts, the class of 2009 dressed in a jungle theme, the class of 2010 dressed as the living dead and the class of 2011 dressed as super heroes.
Girls in their junior year receive a school ring, a long-standing tradition deriving from Seton High and Archbishop Keough.
Students in their sophomore year receive a school pin, with the school's crest attached to their graduation year by a gold chain.
Theatre After a ten-year absence, the theatre department was revived in 2002. Now with a parenting organization behind it, the theatre department puts on three productions a year: a musical in the fall, and a play in the spring, as well as a Variety Show in the winter. The auditorium has upgraded sound and light equipment over the past few years. Musicals are typically, performed with live music from a pit band compiled of Seton Keough students and neighboring Catholic school students, including Mount De Sales and Mount Saint Joseph.
