Congratulations to the following staff members who were recognized last Friday, February 4th; and who will mark their tenth year of service to our PJP community during 2022. They are: Coach Danny Clavier, Mrs. Sherri Dutreix, Mrs. Mary Ellen Jovanovic, and Mrs. Robin Mangano. Among the many hats these four members of our staff have worn around PJP, here is just a sampling.....Clavier is our boys' head soccer coach, assists with football, is the College Advisor at PJP and an instructor in our Social Studies department. Dutreix currently assists our administrators, taking care of internal and external communications, press / media releases, coordinates our safe environment database, moderates our student Jaguar Journalists, can be seen capturing campus life with her camera in hand, and composes our yearbook. She has served as Parent Club president and graduated four children from PJP (Lonnie '12, Evan '14, Claire '16, and Sam '18), with her fifth (Henry) to graduate in 2024. Jovanovic is a media specialist, coordinates the Media Club, instructs our Engineering I & II courses, oversees textbook inventory and ordering / monitoring necessary class instructional materials, coordinates all dual enrollment courses and enrollment, and helped spearhead our campus' Jaguar Java bar. Jovanovic has two daughters, Grace '12 and Abby '14, who are both PJP grads. Mangano assists heavily with Advancement efforts, fund raising, and special events, is our PTC liaison, hospitality coordinator, and monitors bookstore inventory. She is also a past Parent Club President. Her husband, Blaise, is an '82 alum and their son, Joseph graduated in '13.
We are very grateful for all that they have and continue to do for our school, for their dedication and commitment to our mission of Academic Excellence, Faith Development and fostering Leadership among all our students. Congratulations to them all.
