St. John's Catholic School is not just a school, but also a community. The Home and School Association is comprised of all school parents and guardians. It supports the parents, our children, and the school by sponsoring parent/family gatherings, a Poinsettia sale, book fairs, and a family fun night. The Parents Association is a great way to make true connections with other parents, friends, teachers, and the heart of the St. John's community.  We have something for everyone! Please take a look at our list of parent volunteer opportunities for activities you think you might enjoy.
