St Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community
Dear Friends,
 
Greetings and Happy Monday, St. Joes. I hope your spring break provided you with some special family moments and time for relaxation. We begin this new week rejuvenated, with keen focus, and clear purpose to make this quarter memorable and joyous. Celebrations highlighting student success, togetherness, and family will take place weekly as we treasure the remaining days of this school year.
 
We have much to be grateful for, Cadets! The Spring Athletic Season is fully underway, and we wish our teams and student-athletes much success and enjoyment. This week, we proudly celebrate Honor Society Inductions in English, Fine Arts, Mathematics, and World Languages; Wednesday is Junior Class Activity Day; and Friday marks the final Quarterly Interims for the Class of 2021. Congratulations, Seniors!
 
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administration, I thank you for your steadfast partnership and loyalty. During these difficult and unpredictable times, you have demonstrated genuine support for the mission of St. Joseph High School. We appreciate you more than my mere words can adequately express. Have a healthy, happy, and fulfilling week ahead.
 
In Faith and Fellowship,
David J. Klein
President

Earth Day Service Project!
In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), Chloe Garrow '22 has started a recyclable can/bottle drive at St Joes! Let's all come together as a community to keep our Earth clean!

Students may drop off returnable bottles and cans in the designated bins in the Main Lobby from April 19 - May 14. The bottles/cans will be turned into a recyclable center and all proceeds will benefit Save the Sound, a non-profit leading environmental action in our area.

Thank you for your support of this great project!
