It's Your School, Too
PARENTS
Your Guide to the Prep
Every day, young men arrive on campus with different talents, backgrounds, and aspirations. Through exceptional teaching, meaningful relationships, opportunities for leadership and service, and a community grounded in faith and brotherhood, they leave prepared not only for college and careers, but for lives of purpose.
Whether you are an alum, parent, grandparent, faculty member, or friend of the school, your support helps make that transformation possible. It expands access to deserving students through financial aid, strengthens academic and co-curricular programs, and ensures that future generations of Eagles will have the opportunity to grow into thoughtful leaders committed to influencing every situation they encounter for the benefit of others.
Parent Weekly
Sent every Friday morning, this is a must-read for parents. It includes important news, reminders, field trip forms, calendar items, and more.
Prep Parent Council
All parents and guardians are automatically members. Meetings and events are held throughout the year.
Click on the Prep Parent Council board under Resources in Blackbaud to learn more.
Volunteer Opportunities
Parents and guardians play an important role in making events, retreats, and co-curricular activities for the boys happen smoothly. They also play a huge role in helping prospective families understand more about the Prep from the view of a fellow parent, as well as make a significant impact on helping to spread the word about giving to St. John's Prep.
Sign up for volunteer opportunities on Blackbaud.
