The Patron of the school ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth. His parents belonged to a priestly family; they both lived good lives in God's sight and obeyed fully all the Lord's laws and commands. They had no children, because Elizabeth could not have any and both were very old. Because of their intense devotion, in spite of old age, the Lord blessed them with a son, and they were asked to call him 'JOHN', which means - " Child of God".

The child grew and developed in body and spirit in the desert where he lived like an angel. He was God's messenger. John moved in the desert baptizing and preaching. He wore clothes made of coarse camel's hair, with a leather belt round his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. He asked people to turn away from sin. He baptized Jesus, with the water of the River Jordan. He stood firmly for Truth and Justice and it was for these values that he was beheaded.

Like the Patron, St. John the Baptist school stands up for TRUTH, JUSTICE & PEACE in all circumstances.
