[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So, first off: none of those follow-up questions or argumentative responses were from me.

Not that I truly need to justify myself here, but my extended family is full of academic priests, monks, brothers, deacons, etc. That is also why I’m curious about the experience at St John’s, despite not being a practicing Catholic. I’m ok with my kid being exposed to the Catholic faith; we all ultimately need to make our own choices with regard to religion.

Anyone know about their music program? And sports, in particular track & field?[/quote]

Most Catholic school posts like this end up in the same space.

That said -- OP it is worth your kid doing a shadow day and seeing if it would be a place that they would like. That is the most important part. Bottom line, there are non-Catholic kids at every Catholic high school.  Yes there are mandatory religion classes (not about Catechism these are high schoolers) and mandatory mass. If you look at the Lasallian tradition and why St. John Baptist de Le Salle founded the order and school is was to educate ALL children.  The tradition is still alive and well today.  SJC is very diverse and a very welcoming community for all.[/quote]
