Greetings!
Chaminade Julienne will offer a Chinese 1 and 2 language course to high school students beginning Jan. 21 and running through March 27.

Featured Facutly & Staff Member
Brad Kassner
Brad has enjoyed his time serving the students of Chaminade Julienne as both a coach and faculty member. He has taught math, science and summer gym, and coached Eagles football, wrestling and Science Olympiad teams since the 2006-07 school year.
Brad began his career at CJ with a bachelor's degree in Physics from Wittenberg University. In 2010, he became certified to teach Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering curriculum for introductory and secondary level PLTW courses in Engineering Design and Digital Electronics.
On Friday, Jan. 18, Brad will be leaving CJ to move to San Angelo, Texas with his newlywed wife, an officer in the United States Air Force, who will begin training later this month at Goodfellow Air Force Base. While sad to be leaving, he feels blessed to have been part of the CJ community for nearly seven years.
"I matured as a teacher at Chaminade Julienne," Brad said. "Regardless of where my travels take me, this school has made a lasting impression on me. There will always be a special place in my heart for CJ."
