"Ss. Colman John Neumann holds an incredibly special place in our hearts. Eight of our ten children attended
SCJN from kindergarten through eighth grade. Because there are so many wonderful memories associated with
our experience, it's hard to know where to begin.
Significantly, all of our children, each of whom has a different personality and learning style, thrived
and continue to flourish with the rich background and solid educational roots provided by SCJN.
Academically, each child went onto his or her secondary and college experiences well prepared for the
various curricula and academic challenges each would confront. Most importantly, their grade school
education instilled core Catholic values and morals, and they continue to value their faith and rely on it
as an ethical compass as they assume professional responsibilities in their adulthood. We feel blessed that
they have had this foundation. SCJN is a catholic community based on caring and a collaboration of talents
and treasure. Thank you for being such an integral part of all our growth and journey over the last
twenty-five years!"
“Catholic education is important to us, so we were thrilled our parish school offered exactly what we were looking for when it came time to enroll our children. As members of the SCJN community since 2002, our experience has been very positive. Its welcoming atmosphere is very warm and inviting, making you feel like part of a family. The faculty and staff at SCJN do an excellent job providing a strong faith based education, helping each student achieve their personal best. Students are so well prepared, the transition to high school is virtually seamless. Recent renovations to the school and the addition of a new gym have propelled SCJN to the forefront of Catholic grade schools in our region. We feel blessed to be members of this special community.”

“Our family has loved SCJN since the first moment we came through the doors in 2008. From playing basketball on Saturday mornings with the dads to watching the Donnelly family win pizza bingo year in and year out; the SCJN community has become an extension of our family. We have yet to meet a family that doesn’t share the same interests as our family and the school’s mission...for that we are so grateful. There are so many talented students at SCJN and our school does an amazing job of giving all the students an opportunity to shine. Whether it is a Geography Bee, a Crazy 8 contest, Monthly Virtues or playing in a high intensity CYO hoops game, SCJN always seems to bring out the best in not only the students, but also the parents. The faculty and staff take a “Cura Personalis” approach to the students and as parents we are not sure what else we could ask for. Every year we see our children growing and thriving in their spirituality, education, leadership and compassion for others!”

We are very impressed with the rigorous curriculum, dedicated faculty and staff, and what they are learning about their faith, community, and service to others. Our boys have a tremendous amount of pride in their school. We feel very fortunate to see them so unbelievably happy to go to school every day!”
