St. Joseph offers student ideal blend of faith, academics
Faith and academics
are the foundation of St.
Joseph School. St. Joseph
School students take their
education very seriously
and take pride in advancing
their knowledge. The
culture at St. Joseph is rich
in faith and academic excellence.
With a long history
of national awards,
students at St. Joseph
demonstrate success in all
areas of academics at St.
Joseph, local high schools
and college. Our students
are always striving to do
their personal best, which
will serve them well in
their futures.
The high standards evident
in the curriculum at St.
Joseph set the stage for student
success in high school
and beyond. The SJS Class
of 2017 received numerous
awards, and 65 percent of
St. Joseph graduates received
placement in honors
or advance placement
classes at Benet Academy,
Joliet Catholic, Lockport
Township High School
and Providence Catholic
High School. In the past
two years, our graduates
have received over $40,000
in scholarships to Joliet
Catholic Academy and
Providence Catholic High
School. The foundation
for success in high school
and college begins at St.
Joseph, and students enjoy
the results throughout their
academic careers.
Each year, our students
show their academic talents
in a variety of ways.
During the 2016-2017
school year, our junior
high students had numerous
achievements. From
“Best in Category” awards
at Regional and Illinois
State Science Fairs, gold
medals and even a perfect
score at Regional Science
Fair at the University of
St. Francis, students at St.
Joseph excel in academic
opportunities. In addition
to Science Fair, many students
were recognized locally
in writing competitions,
with patriotic essay
awards resulting in both
local and regional awards.
Almost 50 students enjoy
participating in academic
challenges that include
math competitions, Battle
of the Book competitions
and chess tournaments.
The students absolutely
love to put their academic
abilities to good use and
represent St. Joseph.
St. Joseph School is
proud to recognize and
honor our students for
their academic achievements.
After receiving
the NAESP Distinguished
Principal Award in Washington,
D.C. last October,
principal Lynne Scheffler
was asked to nominate
students for the President’s
Education Awards.
The PEAP honored the
most academically highachieving
students. Isabelle
Egizio, graduate of
the Class of 2017, said
upon receiving this award
that “… It means that my
dedication to my education
all of these years has
been recognized by the
finest people in our country.”
St. Joseph presented
the President’s Award for
Educational Excellence
to five students from the
St. Joseph Class of 2018
and four graduates of the
Class of 2017 who had a
GPA of 4.0 or higher. Lily
Ray, SJS Class of 2018,
made the statement, “I am
honored not only to have
received this prestigious
award, but to be among
the first St. Joseph School
students to do so.” Many
of the younger students
cannot wait until they are
eligible for this prestigious
award. The President’s
Education Award has provided
students with yet
another incentive to work
hard and excel academically.
Sean Svoboda, SJS
Class of 2018, stated that,
“This award is about way
more than just academics.
Hard work is put in daily
by teachers and students to
plant the seed of success.
This award shows that the
seed has sprouted.”
St. Joseph teachers use
every possible advantage
to develop the children’s
talents with a state-of-theart
technology lab, interactive
technology-rich classrooms,
a 1:1 laptop/iPad
program for grades 1–8
and the advanced curriculum
that is the foundation
