St. Joseph Hill Academy Elementary School

Congratulations to Mrs. Johanna Catella on her well-deserved recognition by Senator Andrew Lanza ! Mrs. Catella wears many hats at Hill — 8th grade homeroom and math teacher, Algebra instructor, yearbook coordinator, and moderator of the Piece It Together puzzle club — and she brings the same dedication and heart to every single one. We are so grateful for you, Mrs. Catella!

Sister Mary’s letter to our Hill community, written on the occasion of our Class of 2026 graduations, reflects on the achievements of our graduates, the historic Consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and her own encounter with Pope Leo XIV during the Daughters of Divine Charity’s General Chapter in Rome. She also shares her gratitude for every family, donor, and faculty member who makes Hill what it is.
