- St. John XXIII is a non-profit Catholic High School, established just 18 years ago in the greater Katy area.
- The SJ23 House System—a first in Texas—places every student into one of five Houses that develops leadership skills and promotes school spirit, fellowship, spirituality, and academic achievement.
- To ensure all students can realize their academic potential, our Learning Center offers individualized support to students with learning differences.
- Our Campus Ministry program prepares students to face the challenges of today’s culture, develops a community service mindset through individual and group volunteerism, and organizes student retreats.
- Through our financial aid program, we provide tuition assistance to deserving families seeking unique educational opportunities for their students.
