St. Joseph High School is filled with opportunities and resources for everyone such as animal clubs all the way to law and Criminal Justice Clubs. The first day I walked into St. Joseph High School I automatically felt at home, being welcomed by warm smiles from staff and students made me feel as if I was being hugged by the sun. The only thing I would love to see change is for everyone to start participating in mass and being joyful in a time of reverence and love.
