His dedication to Catholic education has led to a school that is now fully networked with a state-of-the-art computer lab, library, music room, science lab, full size gymnasium, and dedicated chapel for daily prayer.

Under the Bishop's careful direction, a plan of expansion followed by adding an additional classroom each year until the desired goal of eight grades was achieved. St. John Neumann graduated its first class of bright, disciplined, well-educated students in 1983.

This facility hosts all indoor athletic activities, all-school masses, serves as the cafeteria for daily lunches, and hosts banquets and other school functions, such as the school auction, school dances, meetings, and graduation ceremonies.
