Principal Welcome

Greetings from St. John the Baptist Catholic School!

We are so happy that you have chosen St. John the Baptist Catholic School for your child’s education.  At St. John’s, we are proud to offer a strong, faith-filled education that supports the whole child—from PK3 through 8th grade.  Rooted in our commitment to strong academics, strong families, and strong faith, our school community works together to help every student grow into the person God is calling them to be.

Each day, our students enjoy enriching experiences in music, art, gym, and the library, and participate in a robust, hands-on science program that nurtures their curiosity and critical thinking.  We also partner with CHAMPIONS to offer before- and after-school care, providing families with flexible options for their busy schedules.

Our dedicated staff are offered professional development opportunities and use current student data to guide their weekly lesson planning—ensuring that each learner receives the instruction and support they need.  In addition to our outstanding classroom teachers, we are blessed with a Supportive Consultant and Reading Specialist who provide extra layers of academic support. Our teachers also have access to a STEM Lab where students are encouraged to explore and problem-solve.

We believe in building a strong community spirit.  Therefore, each morning, our students and staff in grades K–8 walk together and then pray together to begin the day in prayer.  We also gather weekly to participate in Mass as a school family, reinforcing our Catholic identity and shared values.  Our families have the opportunity to participate in multiple social events throughout the year, offering an opportunity to get to know other families better.

Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program is rooted in the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, helping students grow in character, compassion, and faith.  Outside the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in local service projects.  We also offer a wide range of after-school sports, including cross-country, volleyball, basketball, archery, soccer, and Forensics. 

St. John’s is more than a school—it’s a family.  We are grateful for the partnership of our parents, grandparents, parish, and staff as we work together to provide an excellent Catholic education grounded in faith, service, and learning.

We look forward to a joyful and inspiring year ahead!

Blessings,
Gerene Thom
