ATHLETICS

You may have recently seen in the news that students, who happen to have been members of our football program, have transferred to public school districts. Certainly, we are always disappointed when a student leaves CJ before graduation and these situations are no different. Regardless, we continue to strive to create meaningful experiences for our students and entire school community and are already looking forward to an exciting 2015-2016 school year. Marcus Colvin, our head football coach, said, "Our goals and expectations haven't changed for the coming season; we have lots of things planned as a team. Our players are proud to represent CJ and further our tradition of excellence."
