As they say," once a bloodhound, always a bloodhound"! This is very true. Saint Joseph academy has a very tight knit, family like community. It is very easy to fit in and get involved. It has an Alumni Association in place, former students can re-connect with others at either social mixers across the U.S. It also push students to be the best inside and out of the classroom. All of the teachers are very helpful, and the several rigorous courses, clubs, sports ad extracurriculars are offered.
SJA is a close knit community. The bonds created here will last a lifetime. As they say," once a bloodhound, always a bloodhound"! This is so true. The schools continues to reach out to all former students in keeping them abreast of everything taking place on campus. Now with an Alumni Association in place, former students can re-connect with others at either social mixers in a city such as Houston or back on campus. All things considered, it's impressive how much is offered to students in the way of academics, sports and clubs for such a small enrollment.
I love Saint Joseph Academy! As I have always attended public school the change was extremely different to me. However, it was the best change I have ever made. Everyone greeted me immediately and everyone was super excited to have me be a part of their school community. St. Joe is an amazing school and the teachers really do go the extra mile to help their students. As an athlete I was a bit skeptical that a school with such little students could be good at a sport against other schools with much more students. I was shocked to see their first varsity volleyball team to make it and place 2nd overall at the playoffs. Same goes for swimming, a handful of students made it and placed at state which is extremely good.
