Rooted in Christian values, the Lasallian experience at St. John’s prepares young men and women for a life dedicated to leadership, achievement and service to the community.

Philosophy/Belief Statement: St. John's is a community of faith and zeal, which seeks to respond to the needs of youth through Christian education. At the core of the St. John's community are dedicated Lasallian educators who are committed to the academic, spiritual, cultural and physical development of the students. Rooted in Christian values, the Lasallian experience prepares young men and women for lives dedicated to leadership, achievement and service to the community.
School History: The De La Salle Christian Brothers founded St. John’s in 1851. The Christian Brothers are the largest group of religious laymen in the Catholic Church dedicated exclusively to the ministry of education. The Founder of the Brothers was St. John Baptist de La Salle (1651–1719), who in 1950 was declared the Patron Saint of All Teachers of Youth in the Catholic Church. The Brothers still teach alongside the lay faculty as St. John’s continues to educate young men and women in the Lasallian tradition.
