St. John Bosco Academy

Fr. Anthony Nnodim joined the school as chaplain in January 2022. He was ordained to the priesthood in 2002, having been raised in a devout Catholic family. He served as a parish priest in Nigeria, teaching in the parish schools. Students, staff, and parents are thrilled to have a priest on campus. Students are enjoying the opportunity for weekly reconciliation. Two Masses have been added each week before school begins for students, staff, and families who want to attend.

Seventh & eighth grade students at St. John Bosco Academy recently dissected steelhead through a program promoted by the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery. The students are learning about the life cycle, ecology, and anatomy of steelhead. They also received steelhead eggs which they are raising to be released in May. The eggs have hatched and used up their yolk sac as food, so the students will begin feeding them. "The fish need side fins to be able to swim upwards" says Na
