St. Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community |

Dear Friends,
Good morning and Happy Monday, St. Joes. I hope that you enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Please join me in prayers of love and safety for the residents of the Gulf Coast.
Last week, we welcomed 100 members of the Class of 2025 to campus for our Freshman Seminar Course and Fall Sports are officially up and running. It was an inspiring and energetic week on campus and we are raring to go! Today, we kickoff Welcome Week, which intentionally serves as a strategic soft re-opening for a 2021-2022 school year filled with new goals, lofty aspirations, and a renewed commitment to excellence. The hallways, classrooms, and athletic fields will be bustling this week with excited SJ Cadets.
I trust that you share my enthusiasm about this new school year and the fulfilling St. Joes experience that awaits our students. We are grateful for your continued support and are fortified by your unwavering commitment to our SJ School Family Partnership. Cadets Carry On and we are always stronger and more successful together. Thank you and may God bless your family and our SJ community. Have a great week!
In Faith and Fellowship,
David J. Klein
President
