St. Joseph's Catholic School

Faith formation at Saint Joseph’s lays a lifelong foundation, and we love watching our students continue to grow and live out that faith long after graduation.

Alumni Christian Frank ('22) and Patricio Ayala ('23), and former SJCS student Paul Leong were among the many men who attended the Emmaus Retreat at Heartridge Retreat Center this month. Christian shared, “The Emmaus retreat was a great way to re-light the fire in my heart for Christ especially during this transitional stage in my life.”

Calling all Middle Schoolers! At Saint Joseph's, you never have to pick just one passion - you can explore sports, clubs, campus ministry, and the arts all at once! In planning rehearsals for the Middle School Musical, we'll do our best to work around your conflicts so you can still participate in all of your interests! Just pick an audition date that works for you:

Wednesday, August 26 (4:15–6:00 PM)

Thursday, August 27 (3:15–5:00 PM)

Can't make those times? Contact Ms. McGrath by August 24 to submit a virtual audition video. We can't wait to see you shine in this exciting production!

In a continued effort to make the safety of all of our spectators a priority, and enhance the overall game-day experience, we have implemented our new policies for home athletic events.

Our intention is to enhance the overall experience, while providing a safe, welcoming and organized environment for all in attendance to enjoy. Go Knights! ⚔️

The eighth annual SJCS Athletic Golf Tournament provided another wonderful day of fun, fellowship and friendly competition, all while raising money to support all of the Knights' athletic programs. Click the link for details, more photos. https://bit.ly/4g4Rmh4

Over the summer, English Department Chair Mr. Kenneth Covington visited SJCS graduate Father Augustine (Philip) Wilmeth at the Abbey of St. Benedict in Norcia, Italy, for the feast of Corpus Christi (June 4). Fr. Augustine ('09) is the prior, novice master, brewmaster and headmaster of the small abbey school. More information about the abbey can be found at https://en.nursia.org/.

Mrs. Marge Slonkosky of Minster, Ohio, grandmother of SJCS Director of Mission and Ministry Mr. Gabe Lewis, turned 100 years old on July 30. Mrs. Slonkosky has 10 children, 65 grandchildren and 153 great-grandchildren. Her youngest daughter is a Dominican sister, and among her grandchildren are a Nashville Dominican Sister and two seminarians. "In some small way, I like to think that her daily prayers reach down to Greenville to the students in our school," Mr. Lewis said. For the first time, one of Mrs. Slonkosky's great-grandchildren is attending St. Joseph's. Mr. Lewis' daughter, Claire, is a student in the Sixth Grade Academy. May God continue to bless Mrs. Slonkosky!

This past Friday, our seniors gathered to kick off a great year ahead with our annual Senior Sunrise! It was a beautiful morning to come together, celebrate lasting friendships, and jump straight into a year packed with big memories and new beginnings. Here’s to filling every single day of this school year with incredible moments, Class of 2027!

The SJCS football program's annual Military Night will be celebrated on September 11 during our home game against Berea. It's always a special night, but it will have added significance this year because it falls on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Show your support for military veterans and St. Joe's football by purchasing a Military Night T-shirt. They are available for purchase at the link below for $20 each. The online store closes on August 19 at midnight. Shirts will be delivered to HH Deans the week of the game or available for pickup the night of the game.

As part of our Military Night celebration, we would like to honor all those in our school community who are serving or have served our country.
