Homecoming
Our Homecoming Celebration will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 2:00PM
Due to Hudson Catholic's decision to cancel their 2023 football season, we have postponed our Homecoming to Saturday, October 28th at 2PM
Come and reconnect with classmates as Pope John Football goes up against St. Joe's Metuchen! Join us for a free alumni luncheon and campus tours in the courtyard (behind the Paternostro Training Center) beginning at halftime.
All Alumni, families, and parents are welcome!

During Halftime of our Homecoming Game, we honor the Football and Cheer State Championship Classes of 1973, 1983, and 2003. Spread the word and come roar for your lions!

During the reunion trip to Carolina, Mr. Setlock and our team were invited to the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina, by Class of 1996 alum Kris Kut.
For 20 years Kut has worked as an assistant cross country, track and field coach, and recruiting coordinator at the military college. Coach Kut is now the head track and field coach of the Citadel. He has helped coach the men and women teams crown 71 conference championships, 313 All-Southern Conference performers, and 24 NCAA qualifiers.
Before he coached, Kut attended the Citadel as a cadet-student-athlete in Track and Field. He is a three-time SoCon Champion and recieved four all-conference honors. He was the school record holder in the javelin until 2013 and was a junior national qualifier, competing in the 1997 in St. Louis, Mo. In 2017 Coach Kut was inducted into the Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame.
Coach Kut was gracious to show our team the Citadel's athletic facilities specially his former PJ Track Coach Mr. Setlock who served as head coach from 1975-1999. Thank you Kris for the tour!
