St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School invites current 7th grade (and prospective) families to join us for a special four-part virtual series designed to help parents and students navigate the transition to high school. Each session will provide guidance on the high school search process while also offering insight into the St. John the Baptist experience and community.
 
These evenings are designed to be informative, supportive, and helpful as families begin planning for the next chapter of their child’s education.

Families are welcome to attend one session or all four. Simply click on the individual session you would like to attend to register.
