This summer, CJ is hosting the fourth annual Reunion Weekend for alumni as well as summer camps for potential future Eagles.

 

Reunion Weekend for Chaminade, Julienne, St. Joseph, and CJ alumni will be held on June 25, 26 and 27. While there will be individual parties for classes ending in '00 and '05, all alumni are invited to come back to CJ for the reunion weekend kick-off event, the Taste of CJ.

 

As parents of current students, we invite you to help make this weekend successful. Volunteers will be needed that weekend to help with the events, parking, and clean-up. If you are interested in volunteering, please call or email Teresa Spanel, Alumni Relations Coordinator. All alumni interested in attending Reunion Weekend can register here.

 

We are also excited to bring back CJ Eagle Summer Camp sessions in sports, STEMM and performing arts.The summer camp program is a great introduction to CJ for students who have yet to experience our community. A list of this year's summer camps and registration information can be found here.

 

Thank you for helping make CJ a welcoming place to current, past and future families all year round!

ATHLETICS

CJ Athletics
AD Search To Begin This Fall
After meetings and other input and guidance from parents, coaches, teachers, staff, and school leaders, we have decided to initiate the process of hiring an athletic director in the fall of 2015, anticipating that the person we select will begin the role on  July 1, 2016 .  We are confident that starting the search process in the fall maximizes our opportunities to find the best leader for our growing athletic program.   Jason  Unger, assistant principal and acting athletic director, has served our students and coaches admirably during the current school year and has agreed to serve in this capacity for another year.  I am grateful for his commitment.  Should you have any questions about our process, please contact me.
