Transitioning to a college prep school can be a challenge for any student. JCP has organized some special programs to help 9th graders feel a part of the JCP community. Freshman Retreat is one of these programs. The Freshman Retreat is a 1 day experience that focuses on community building, friendship, and leadership. It is scheduled on a day of school and all 9th graders are required to attend this experience. Student Leaders, the principal, staff, and parent volunteers organize this retreat. Parents who wish to help should email the Freshman Retreat Coordinator at freshmanretreat@jonescollegeprep.org.
