Greetings!
CJ's
Board of Trustees has initiated a planning process to imagine our campus over the next 15-20 years. The last plan was created in 2004 and updated in 2010. A steering committee comprised of alumni, parents, and Trustees will guide the process - they have secured the services of Pinnacle, our local architects, and Cannon Design, a national planning firm with an expertise working with educational institutions.
Representatives from both firms will be on campus on Tuesday, Sept, 11 and Wednesday, Sept. 12 to meet with teachers, students, parents, and other members of the CJ community.
The focus group for parents will be on Tuesday, Sept. 11 from 6:15-7:15 p.m. in the community space (former library). All parents are invited to attend to share ideas and insight on this next stage of transformation at CJ.
If you have questions about the process or want more information, please call or email me. I look forward to seeing many of you there!
Dan Meixner '84, President |

As we continue to be horrified by the news out of Pennsylvania, we also continue to work with the Marianist Province of the United States to ensure the safety of our students. We ask for prayers for healing of all victims, their families, and for the reconciliation and healing of our church.
