Typically this time of year we see families from public school districts now consider their options at CJ. Parent word of mouth is our greatest asset and sharing your experiences is always a true showing of our faith-filled community. If you know someone in your neighborhood who is still thinking about their high school options for next year, you are welcome to offer my contact information to schedule a tour or meet and greet. Thank you again for being a partner in the sharing of our mission to our community.
