St Joe's 2019 Homecoming celebration was held on Friday, October 25.
The program began with the procession of the Senior Homerooms (wearing their Sunday best), followed by the announcement of our Homecoming Court!
The event ended with the entire student body (and more than a few parents!) singing the St Joes Alma Mater!

Thank You to all the students, faculty/staff, parents, and alumni who came out to cheer on St Joes at our homecoming game!
We especially loved all of the enthusiasm during SJ's half-time parade, which kept everyone energized on a chilly fall afternoon!
Afterward, members of the '90s Decades kept the party going at an after-party at BADSONS Beer Company!
