Saint John's has been great for me. Although sports are not very good, the academics make up for it and prepares me for college very well. Saint John's has a great community and has changed my life forever.

As a transfer student and alumni, SJCP has given provided me with teachers who were willing to push me beyond my once limitations. Throughout the years not only have I seen immense growth in myself but also my classmates. SJCP is a true catholic-college-prep high school education.
