St. John's Academy produced its first graduates in 1934 composed of five students namely: Nydia Avelino, Catalina (Nina) Nacion, Anacleta (Etang) Rumbawa, Angela (Angie) Vargas and Fred T. Vibar. A year later, the same population of students marched up the stage to claim their diplomas. Years after, there was a variation in the number of students who graduated though still quite small.

Considered as their successful projects were the Golden Book and the SJAAA Scholarship. The Golden Book came out in 1980 during the Golden Jubilee Celebration. It contains an update of the status of 800 odd high school graduates of a single school, from the youngest of Class 1980 to the early sixtyers of Class 1934. The production of the said book would not have been possible without the cooperation of its hardworking staff composed of Joe Espino '39, editor; Carmen Vibar-Basco '35, Alejandro Gil '68, Josephine Arellano-Gil '61, Natividad Munárriz '40, Rosario Munárriz '52 and Rizalina Galsim.

The SJAAA Scholarship Project was a cherished dream of the late Felicitas Arellano - Reyes '65. It started to take shape when SJAAA President Chito Cobarrubias '60 organized the Scholarship Committee in November 1981. When school opened in June 1982, its first beneficiaries Marissa Ambrosio Cabel and Dalisay Juaneza de la Cruz, walked into SJA as bonafide high school freshmen. Marissa was a class valedictorian of Pinaglabanan Elementary School while Dalisay was a salutatorian of San Juan Elementary (Central) School. After graduating from high school in St. John's, they both pushed through with their college studies. Marissa studied at CEU where she acquired her AB Psychology degree. Dalisay now holds a degree in Bachelor on Computer Data Processing Management from the PUP. However, this scholarship project was terminated in 1986.

To date, there are five successful reunions recorded. One was on January 20, 1980, followed by another one on October 25, 1981 (Alumni Hall MB). Others followed on October 27, 1990 (SJA Quadrangle), March 27, 1999 (Club Filipino) and April 15, 2000 (SJA Covered Court). The one in 1980 was a culmination of a 4 - day Golden Jubilee Celebration. An election of officers was held on this day since a big number of alumni attended the said celebration. The October 25, 1981 reunion brought together faculty and alumni from pre-war onwards. The same holds true with the two in the 90's and one in year 2000.
