ABOUT

Friends of Jones is a membership organization of school parents, family, and friends who support education and community building at Jones College Prep. The Friends of Jones Board of Directors is responsible for raising funds, organizing events, coordinating volunteers, establishing our alumni network and so much more, all to help ensure the future of JCP as the premier college preparatory school in the city and the state.

EVERYONE'S WELCOME!
