Japhet School

Alumni Fast Facts

One of the most frequently asked questions that new parents have is, “Where do students go to high school after Japhet?”               And, “Do they adjust well after being in Japhet’s small environment?”

We strive to stay connected with our alumni and to enable them to connect with one another. This is easy to do, because so many of them return year after year to attend and volunteer at Japhet events. Our newsletter, published three times annually, always features an alumni article.

Here are some fast facts about our alumni:

We may not offer extra-curricular music or athletic programs, but that’s no obstacle for our alumni. Japhet alumni do very well in high school musical theatre, landing lead roles most recently at U of D Jesuit, Shrine, and Almont High School performances, and at University Liggett, Cranbrook and Royal Oak High School in previous years. Our students also achieve in competitive sports, to which they bring positive leadership and sportsmanship, as one Japhet alumna can testify: a 2005 Japhet graduate, she became captain of her high school varsity volleyball team and has accepted a scholarship from Principia College, while another recent graduate is headed to Albion College on a tennis scholarship. Japhet alumni are also involved on high school teams in basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer, hockey, track and cross-country.
