December 27, 2018
Greetings!
 
As the end of 2018 draws near, we reflect on the many great things that the CJ community has experienced this past year:

  • Students serving near and far making a difference to those around them;
  • In conjunction with the Big Hoopla, CJ sponsoring the first STEM Teacher of the Year award;
  • The graduation of the Class of 2018 and welcoming of the Class of 2022;
  • Continued support from alumni, the Dayton community, and our sponsors, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and the Marianists;
  • A Senior Capstone group receiving the Spirit of Sr. Dorothy Stang Award presented by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati;
  • Athletic successes including the baseball team winning the Division II State Championship; and,
  • CJ continuing to be a top school in the Dayton region measured through college persistence data.

As we look ahead to 2019, we feel blessed to serve your family by continuing to provide the premier Catholic educational experience in the region. May God bless you and all those you love during the Christmas season and throughout the new year, Go Eagles!
