School life
Athletics
Since 2001, the swim and dive team has won twelve Division-1 State Titles, including nine in a row between 2006 and 2014, with the most recent title in 2017.[citation needed] The fencing team won their 6th straight state championship and went undefeated in the 2009–2010 season. The golf team won the state championship in the fall of 2010 and 2015, and came in second place in 2011 following a league title. The athletic program has a longstanding rivalry with Catholic Conference competitor Xaverian Brothers High School. The other members of the Catholic Conference include Malden Catholic High School, Boston College High School, and Catholic Memorial High School. St. John's is the sixth team in the conference in some sports. In 2012, 2018, and 2019 the varsity football team won the state title in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 1 championship.[3] The hockey team won the Super 8 state title in 2015.[4] As recently as the fall sports season in 2019, the school's mountain biking team won the NNEMTB New England Championship, their second straight. The school also recently started a crew team that has gone on to compete in the Head of the Charles Regatta multiple times.
