The CJ guidance department is reviewing whether the school should continue being a site for ACT and SAT testing. We value parents' input regarding this topic. 

Parents whose student has taken the ACT or SAT at CJ, another school, or has not taken the test yet, are encouraged to fill out this survey . Students were also asked to fill out a separate survey, which they can find on their "about me" page in  Family Connection . T he guidance department will use answers from the surveys to help review the school's current testing status.

Please have all surveys submitted by Friday, April 8.

ATHLETICS

CJ Fish Fry
Thank You!
A sincere "thank you" to the many volunteers who made this year's Fish Fry a GREAT success.  All though there are way too many to name personally, there are a few who deserve a great big shout out: Rick Ernst,  Kathryn and Steve Huffman,  Kelly and Mike Muhl,  Amy and Ron Settich, Kathy & Mark Shrewsbury, Tina Wagoner, Bob Young, Kathleen Zehenny, and the Corpus Christi Fryers. Without the many volunteers and many man hours put in we would not be as successful as we are!
