My daughter just graduated from SJB and she felt well prepared for her next chapter in college. She got into Schreyer Honor College at Penn State, and I thank St John the Baptist for her education and for building up her confidence. She is a great speaker, leading student council for 3 years in a row, while participating in lots of extra curriculum activities. Her beliefs in the Catholic faith has grown so much while attending mass, serving mass, and participating in outreach activities. I am very proud and happy that my son started at SJB. I hope his experience at SJB is as enriching and exciting as it was for his sister. Go Cougars!
Attending Saint John the Baptist High School was the best decision I have ever made! As a sophomore I was nervous starting a school with a whole bunch of new students but the faculty and staff made me feel right at home. They helped me find clubs/organizations that best suited me. My favorite part about St John's was the students. Everyone was very friendly and there was never a time where I felt alone. Overall there isn't anything I would want changed with Saint Johns, rather, I hope everything stays the same.
I wanted to love this school because my daughter loved her Catholic elementary school so much, but it needs work. The AP curriculum, additional programs after Freshman year and the teachers involved are amazing, as well as the clubs and Campus Ministry. There is a serious bullying culture within the school that begins with how freshman are treated by everyone including the administration and continues by students with no repercussions. Drugs and alcohol condoned by many parents are also a serious issue.
The school could be amazing; it just needs to adopt the values it pretends to teach.
