The school provides inexpensive education to Catholic and non-Catholic families alike. St John's has approximately 1,000 students, most of whom come from Catholic families. This is in contrast to the local government high schools, which are well in excess of 1,000 students. Many of the school's students do not live in the Nowra area, and travel by bus each day from around the Shoalhaven. HistorySt John's was founded in 1989, as Catholic families in the region wanted a secondary school for their children. Up until 1967 there was a Catholic secondary school provided at St Michael's school, but it was closed due to financial hardship, and Catholic students then had to attend the local state high schools, Shoalhaven High School and Nowra High School, with some families opting to send their children to the Catholic boarding school in the Southern Highlands, Chevalier College. For twenty years local Catholic families were without a secondary Catholic school. St John the Evangelist High School was founded in 1990. The first principal was Sr Carmel Bainbridge. The Sisters of the Good Samaritan had worked in the Nowra Parish since 1893, particularly in the area of the Catholic Education in St Michael's School and State Schools of the region. The Good Samaritans were founded in 1857 by Archbishop John Bede Polding to work with convict women, and then moved into the field of Catholic Education. Polding's patron saint was St John the Evangelist, and as a Benedictine monk he adapted to the rule of St Benedict for the Good Samaritan Congregation; the Benedictine motto is pax the Latin word for "peace". The official feast day for the school is that of St John the Evangelist which is celebrated on 27 December each year. Since this falls during the summer school holidays, the feast day is celebrated near Pentecost. St John the Evangelist High School is a Diocesan Catholic, co-educational secondary school whose purpose is to provide a Catholic education for students years 7 to 12. The School serves the Shoalhaven and surrounding regions.

In years 11 and 12, students begin to work towards the Higher School Certificate (HSC), which allows them to either enter university, TAFE, college, or the workforce. Whilst the HSC years are not compulsory in NSW, they are popular for students at St John’s, as many students leave St John’s post-HSC to study at the University of Wollongong. As with all Catholic schools in the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong, religious education is compulsory in all years. See also
