Three days from now, families of prospective students from the Miami Valley will be walking into CJ, excited and eager to learn what our community could provide for their children.
Events like the Try It Open House on Sunday showcase everything that is great about our school. From the STEMM Center, to our Eagle Ambassadors, to our Marianist and Notre Dame traditions, we have something special to offer many students in this area.
The Eagle Ambassadors will be the ones who really give prospective students a look at what happens inside the halls of CJ. It is because of their extra work and involvement with this school that makes parents of future students say, "I want my child to be like them."
We encourage you to invite family, friends, neighbors, and others in your community to visit CJ on Sunday, between 2-4 p.m. Let others know what you already know; that this is the best school in the Miami Valley for future leaders.

Founders' Thoughts
 "When the good God asks something of us, He gives us the means of doing it."
"
Ours is indeed a grand work, a magnificent work, and if it is universal in scope, it is because we are missionaries of Mary, who says to us, 'Do whatever He tells you.'"
