We are so happy to welcome back the San Juan Diego Catholic High School students that will be helping us run the front desk this year during the week! If you see a sharply dressed student sitting behind the front desk, please go up and quiz them on their Bible trivia. San Juan Diego Catholic High School strives to prepare its students for both college and the professional world. Each student works a total of 5 days a month at a business or nonprofit; thus, getting both a great college preparatory education and great experience in the work world. The work that they do goes to offset the cost of tuition to attend the school. Want to learn more? Go to juandiegoprep.org
