St. John the Baptist Catholic School

Student Life

Student life at St. John's is a blast! We offer multiple faith-based extracurricular opportunities, robust no-cut athletics programs, amazing fine arts clubs, and challenging and fun STEM and reading clubs. Come discover the difference!

Faith

We love our faith at St. John the Baptist! Students are encouraged to get involved in Mass by becoming an Altar Server (5th - 8th grade), or joining our Children's Choir, which sings at all of the school Masses. What a great way to be active in faith by helping at Mass! Additionally, we are proud to have Faith Families, which are a "family" of preschoolers through 8th graders that gather to learn about Catholicism, enjoy activities and assist our community (photo shows a Faith Family caroling at the Ronald McDonald House). Additionally, we have a buddy program that pairs students of different grades together for crafts, service projects and to get to know other students within the school. Our younger students love having an older "buddy" to look up to at school!

Sports

St. John's has an amazing athletics program! All girls and boys in 5th - 8th grade are encouraged to join:


Girls/Boys Volleyball (Fall)

Girls/Boys Cross Country (Fall)

Girls/Boys Basketball (Winter)

Girls/Boys Track (Spring)

 

All sports programs are NO CUT.


Sports are a great way to get involved in St. John’s, make lasting friendships, develop skills and demonstrate leadership. Parents love coming together as a community to cheer on our teams.

We love our Wildcats!

Fine Arts

St. John the Baptist has a robust extracurricular fine arts program. Our Drama Club (2nd - 8th grade) performs two major shows - a Christmas musical and a spring musical. From acting to singing to dancing, our students go all out to make it a terrific show every time. Additionally, at St. John's, we offer Band (4th - 8th grade) for those that would like to learn an instrument, and Choir (2nd - 8th grade) for those who love to sing!

Academic Clubs

At St. John the Baptist, we realize that exploring academically can happen outside of the classroom! We have a STEM Club for 6th - 8th grade that delves deep into science and technology. Our Battle of the Books teams (4th - 8th grade) compete against other Catholic grade schools in the Diocese of Joliet, answering questions based on assigned readings. Additionally, our Student Council (6th - 8th grade) provides leadership to the school, helps in decision making for various events and participates in service projects in the community.
