Dear Friends,

          St. John's is a wonderful neighborhood school that enjoys a long and rich tradition.  It has provided both the faith development and academic excellence for thousands of area children since 1931.   As alumni of all ages gather for reunions, their stories continue to be told recounting very happy memories and how well they had been prepared for the challenges of high school.   We want you to know about St. John's and to think about it as a choice for your children's growth in faith and knowledge.  It's never too early to prepare for their future.
