🎉 Welcome Back, Mustangs! 💙❤️

What a wonderful way to kick off a new school year at St. Joseph Catholic School! We are so grateful to everyone who helped make the first day back so special.

Our morning began with prayer and a warm welcome from Fr. John Washington and Fr. Ricardo Villarreal, reminding us to begin this new school year with faith at the heart of all we do. 🙏

Students were then welcomed at our Back-to-School Assembly, where the Student Council helped celebrate our school community! New students were recognized and welcomed to the Mustang family, and the excitement continued with a spirited competition for the Spirit Stick! 🏆📣

We are looking forward to an amazing year filled with faith, learning, friendship, and plenty of Mustang spirit! Thank you to our teachers, staff, families, students, and parish community for helping make St. Joseph such a special place. ❤️
