Spartan Women's Soccer Heads to Final Four

See You Saturday at Miss St. Johns!

Please join us for a fun-filled night at Miss St. Johns! Coming this Saturday, February 24 at 7:00 p.m. to the Performing Arts Center. You won't want to miss the fun show, and proceeds go towards toward Rise Against Hunger. See you there! 


Spartan Athlete of the Week: Roxy Mathews '24

Congratulations to last week’s Nichols & Pina Spartan Athlete of the Week Roxy Mathews '24 of Women's Soccer. Throughout the team's playoffs runup, the Spartans have not given up a goal and that's largely due to Roxy's hard work. The Spartans traveled to take on Shorecrest Prep in the FHSAA State Final Four at 1pm today.


Prep Schools College Fair

Don't miss the Jacksonville Preparatory Schools College Fair, coming Thursday to at UNF's University Center (12000 Alumni Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32224).

  • The Fair is free and open to all St. Johns students, and we highly recommend it to our current sophomores and juniors.
  • Students planning to attend the college fair should register here. Once registered, you will receive a bar code, which will be used for your correspondence with attending college representatives. (They'll resend it to you two hours before the Fair starts.)  
  • Remember to register using the email address where your student wishes to receive correspondence from college representatives.
  • More than 70 colleges and universities from across the U.S. are currently registered to attend, with more coming.
