You’re Invited — “Let’s Get Wild” Gala Auction

The Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy school community warmly invites you to join us for our 36th Annual Auction & Gala, “Let’s Get Wild.” This cherished annual event brings together families, alumni, and community supporters in celebration of our shared commitment to faith, education, and opportunity.

For the past century, Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy has served as a cornerstone of the South Tacoma community, nurturing students of all backgrounds to become scholars, innovators, and leaders. Rooted in our Catholic call to serve youth—especially those most in need—we are proud to offer an exceptional STEM-focused education to all families, regardless of financial means. Nearly half of our students receive tuition assistance, made possible through the generosity of our community.

Proceeds from this special evening support tuition assistance and strengthen programs in academics, the arts, theater, and athletics—helping sustain faith-filled learning for our students.
