My most memorable experience at St. Joe while I was a student revolved around the incredible friendships I built during those years that are still strong today. It is those friends that have been with me through some tough as well as great times in my life. What a memorable gift.


My favorite academic experience(s) at St. Joe centered around the life lessons that Coach Garza so graciously bestowed upon us, the bellowing of Mr. Rosas to “find the home row” in typing class, the Longhorn/Celtic fanatic History teacher we found in Coach Hickson, and the infectious smile and patience showered upon us in AP Physics when we didn’t understand by Brother Paul.


The thing that makes St. Joe different from other schools is the sense of family and camaraderie infused in the environment surrounded by the comfort and emphasis found in its religious component. You are not going to find that in other schools in the area. 


I chose St. Joe for my kids due to all the reasons mentioned above and more. Besides that they are part of a legacy in our family that attended St. Joe. From my uncle, to all my siblings, to their mom and her siblings…. St. Joe has been a big part of our lives and a firm foundation from which to step off from when looking to go out into the world and do something amazing.
