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!
All parents and guardians of Jones College Prep students are automatically members of Friends of Jones – no membership fees are required. We encourage all parents to get involved and make a meaningful contribution — of time and/or money — to keep the legacy of Jones going strong.
