Our tradition can be your tradition.
Experience the tradition that is Joliet Catholic Academy
as the college preparatory high school for boys and girls hosts its
annual Step-Up Day on Friday, Nov. 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
JCA’s
step-up day allows eighth-grade students to be assigned to a homeroom
and move through the day by attending mini-classes that showcase such
areas as Language Arts, History, Mathematics, Science, Theology and the
Fine Arts.
Future
Angels and Hillmen will have the opportunity to tour JCA’s
state-of-the-art computer lab and receive a free lunch served by the
famous “Captain Bob” and our cafeteria staff.
The
day’s agenda also allows eighth-grade students to check out JCA’s 50
clubs, organizations, honor societies and sports teams and ask questions
of moderators and our state championship-caliber coaching staff. The
day will end with an official high school pep assembly.
This
invitation is extended to all eighth-grade classes. Check with your
junior high to see if they are sending your eighth-grade class or if you
need to independently RSVP to JCA. Please RSVP by Oct. 21.
Bus
transportation is available if there are five or more students coming
from one school and JCA will coordinate with the junior high. Open House
dates for JCA are Nov. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Dec. 7, from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m. The placement exam is Jan. 14, 2012 at 8 a.m.
