Supporting the Fund For St. John’s Prep always seems like a natural extension of our gratitude and deep appreciation for all of our son’s teachers, coaches, and mentors. Their dedication to his education throughout his years at the Prep has translated into a solid foundation for all years to follow! We hope that other parents and alumni will join us on Giving Tuesday in showing appreciation for the true “Alma Mater” that SJP is, and take this opportunity to recognize those who have influenced your son(s) too!

I donated because Ty Bramer has had a major impact on my son's transition to and experience at SJP. He continues to go above and beyond as a mentor and role model both in and out of the classroom. In our learning experience we are lucky to have a teacher that inspires and truly cares about the success and well being of us. Ty Bramer will be that teacher for our son. We are very grateful for this.

Thank you, Mr. Driscoll!

2024-12-03 13:32:49 UTC

Mr. Driscoll has been an important part of my Prep journey. In middle school as the campus minister he was always so nice and made us want to volunteer and be kind. I also was lucky to have him as my coach this year on the freshman football team. He helped me succeed on the field while working to be a better person. I feel lucky to know Mr. Driscoll.

Thank you!

2024-12-03 13:33:24 UTC

Our son feels he is part of a family at SJP and big part of that is the outstanding, supportive and caring faculty at SJP! THANK YOU!

Thank you, Michelle Francisco!

2024-12-03 13:37:30 UTC

Michelle Francisco has been a wonderful Freshman Life Coordinator for the students. Her good work has helped our son to feel part of the St. John's community and has helped him to make connections with other classmates via the activities Ms. Francisco organizes.

Thank you, SJP faculty!

2024-12-03 13:39:53 UTC

This work is extremely important to us and we feel blessed for the opportunity you have given Kenny!

Kudos to Mr. Greg Osborne, Mrs. Amy Rogovich and Ms. Colleen Boyle for their tireless work in admissions and leaving no doubt that SJP would be the best decision for our family.

Thank you all, we are so very grateful!

📢 Giving Tuesday Gratitude 💙

2024-12-03 20:36:41 UTC

As a proud parent, today I want to share my deepest thanks to the incredible faculty and staff of St. John’s Prep. This community has truly shaped my son Max’s journey in ways I can’t put into words.

A special shoutout to Jason Larocque, his Associate Principal in the middle school, whose leadership and care have made such a difference in Max’s experience. Dr. Hardiman, our Head of School, and Dr. Crowley, Associate Head of School/Principal, your vision and dedication to excellence create an environment where students thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do for our family and so many others. St. John’s is more than a school; it’s a community and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it all.

Thank you to the teachers !

2024-12-04 00:20:53 UTC

There are many terrific people on staff at the Prep but Nathan wanted to honor Ty Bramer and Pamela Leete this Giving Tuesday. In Nathans words, Pamela looks out for others and has an inspiring persona for the students as she is an uplifting force for the boys.

Ty Bramer has only been at the prep 4 years but has been a constant guiding presence for Nathan and other students. He checks in with them regularly whether they are in his class or have him as a coach. He has made an impact and we want to say thank you!

Thank You SJP

2024-12-04 02:20:54 UTC

I feel so fortunate to have gone to the Prep! I remember my first day at college thinking "The prep campus is a lot nicer?" But the physical world resembles inner world! And what a world the Prep opened me up to. Thank you SJP.

Thank You!

2024-12-04 03:22:30 UTC

I am so incredibly grateful to all of my wonderful teachers and the amazing staff who shape not only each day, but the rest of all of us student’s lives. Without you, we would not be able to grow up to be the leaders of tomorrow, and I can not express how great my gratitude is for everyone at SJP. Thank you!

Ms. Meagan Putney

2024-12-04 13:59:26 UTC

In our son Clarence's words, "She has helped me so much! Every problem I've had, she has connected me with a solution."

Thank you Joan Spenser!

2024-12-05 12:29:34 UTC

Joan was the first SJP person we encountered in admissions. She patiently walked us through the process and was simply amazing. I am not sure we would have landed at SJP without her willingness to help. She exemplifies all the great qualities the teachers, staff and coaches have at SJP. A willingness to give their time, show they care, and want you to succeed. She is simply amazing!!

Thank you Mr. Weidenaar

2024-12-05 12:35:20 UTC

Mr Weidenaar introduced both of our boys to computer science and made it fun and interesting! He created a spark for each of them! The computer science program at the prep is unlike any in our area. My oldest will graduate in 2025 as a computer science major and has secured a great job as a computer engineer. My other son is also pursing a major in computer science. He took 6 classes at the prep which prepared him for his classes at college. Mr Weidenaar also makes himself available to talk even after you graduate! He is amazing!

Thank you from a 2024 alum

2024-12-05 15:16:20 UTC

As I am progressing through my first year of college, I have already made many new memories. However, I still hold the ones from St. John's Prep highly in my heart. Without the prep experience, then I wouldn't be where I am right now. My experiences at St. John's has helped shape my future and I couldn't have done it without everyone I had with me when I attended. I appreciate all the people who make St. John's a better place.

Thank you, Mr. Roy!

2024-12-05 15:17:27 UTC

Mr Roy was a big part of my development at the Prep. I appreciated his teaching style and how he engineered a casual learning atmosphere while not letting his students get away with anything.

Thank you, Team Judge!

2024-12-05 15:18:56 UTC

My son is a different person because of this school. We owe so much to everyone there.

Thank you, SJP!

2024-12-05 15:19:42 UTC

My 2 boys graduated from SJP. You prepared them well for college and I love the values you reinforced at the prep- humility and compassion.
