Guidance Services
Welcome to the Neumann Guidance Department!
At St. John Neumann Catholic High School, we are committed to providing a quality Catholic education to prepare our students for the rigorous college environment they will face.
We are rooted in faith, personal responsibility, and selfless service. When students graduate from Neumann, their resume will have more than just words on a paper; it will contain life experiences of service and academic rigor that will guide students through life.
