The first musical in the renovated CJ auditorium will take the stage this weekend when the CJ Performing Arts Department presents: Godspell . This energetic and moving musical tells the story of a group of people helping Jesus share his parables. Fifty CJ students make up the cast and crew this year, including live musicians performing all of the music for the show.

Performances will be Friday, Mar. 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Mar. 11 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets for adults are $10 and students are $8. Grade school students in grades four through eight should have received a postcard in the mail inviting them to be our guest at the Saturday matinee this weekend.

We look forward to seeing you at CJ for this wonderful production!

Class of 2018
ACT Testing on Tuesday, Mar. 21
All juniors will take the ACT on Tuesday, Mar. 21. This test is an official, full-length ACT (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science only) which will result in a college reportable score. 
Juniors should understand the importance of this test and prepare for it just like an ACT given on a Saturday morning. The only differences are:
  • this test is free; and,
  • there is no need to go online to register.
Students are permitted to use a calculator on the mathematics portion (please see  ACT's guidelines  on permitted calculators) and a number 2 pencil (not mechanical) is required. Students will complete pre-test information prior to taking the test and will need to report what colleges they want to receive their scores. Students are allowed to send their scores to up to four colleges or universities. While sending scores to colleges is optional, doing so at this point can save the cost of having to send the scores directly from ACT to the college in the future.

Founders' Thoughts       

St. Julie "If you do not cultivate the interior spirit, you will never do anything of much value. "
 
Fr. Chaminade "If our minds were constantly haunted by the notions of the shortness of life and the uncertainty of the hour of our death, how much more detached we would be from the things of the present life."
