As a parent of two St. Joseph High School graduates, I am very grateful for the education and experiences my sons received at STJ. Both were academically well prepared for college and went on to attend Texas A&M University, where the strong foundation they received at St. Joseph helped prepare them for success.What I value most about St. Joseph is that the school provides more than a strong academic education. My sons were part of a close-knit community where teachers knew them, challenged them and genuinely cared about their success. They were given opportunities to grow in confidence, responsibility and character while forming friendships and relationships that have continued beyond high school.Choosing St. Joseph was an investment in our sons'' education and their future, and it is a decision our family is very thankful we made.

Attended St. Joe from 1953 to 1956 (6-7th grade) Learned more in those three years, than I did in all the other schools I attended. The teachers (Brothers) were hard but fair.
