Movie Club: For students who love movies. Possible activities would be attending the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival in September, sponsoring a school-wide movie festival or movie night, viewing and discussing movies within the club, attending movies at local special theaters such as the IMAX at McWane or one of the special showings at the Alabama, and a contest for student-produced videos.

This group aims to inform, educate, support and empower young people to make positive decisions in their lives.

Jason Evert

Thanks to the PTO Spiritual Life Committee the students at John Carroll were able to hear Jason Evert and his wife Chrystina speak on Chastity.

They speak internationally to over 100,000 teens each year in Catholic, Christian, and public junior and senior high schools, as well as universities. Both Jason and Crystalina are full-time apologists with Catholic Answers, the nation's largest lay-run apostolate for apologetics and evangelization. After a year of speaking as an engaged couple, Jason and Crystalina married in June of 2003, and continue to share their inspirational testimonies with teens as well as parents. In their highly popular chastity seminar, "Romance without Regret," the duo provides compelling and uplifting reasons for embracing the virtue of chastity.

Please be reminded that within the discipline system of John Carroll Catholic High School, tardiness to school is considered a Petty Misconduct (PM). Realizing that certain unavoidable circumstances may occur occasionally, each student is allowed three(3) "excused tardies" per semester before PM's will be issued. After the third excused tardy, a PM will be issued for each subsequent tardy arrival. Petty Misconducts will be issued for each "Unexcused Tardy." When a student has accumulated four (4) PM's for any reason, he/she will be required to attend a Saturday Detention.
