I'm a parent now and I also went to St. Johns and loved it. You know I read some negative comment about the school and faculty.

We use to have study groups and help each other out in class and out of class. We all worked together as one unit. We had great team spirit and I believe love for one another even though we did'nt outwardly say it.
