Athletics
Athletics at SJS work to support the school mission by providing a Christ-centered environment where the student-athletes can learn sports fundamentals, gain self-confidence, work together with a team and achieve success. We hope to teach and demonstrate to our student-athletes the value of good sportsmanship, virtues, hard work, fair play and a positive attitude.
For questions, contact Jeff Lowman, Athletic Athletic Director by email.
