Happenings Around Saint Joe

Fall Homecoming Week

Spirit Week was filled with energy, creativity, and school pride as students came together to celebrate all things Saint Joe! From themed dress days to exciting activities, the week was a perfect display of Huskies spirit. We wrapped it all up with a lively pep rally in Alumni Gym. Congratulations to all of our fall sports teams and fall play cast and crew on outstanding seasons, and kudos to our cheerleaders and band for keeping the energy high. A special shoutout to the faculty and staff on their big win in the volleyball match against the Homecoming Court!

This honor places them among the top 50,000 students nationwide who entered the 2026 National Merit Program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT. About 34,000 students across the country earn this distinction, recognizing their exceptional academic promise and outstanding performance.



Congratulations to these outstanding Saint Joe students for their dedication and achievement!

Our students recently had a fantastic time at the 4th Annual Industry Day at Plumbers & Pipefitters Local #172. It was a great opportunity to learn more about careers in plumbing, welding, and HVACR.

Saint Joe sent 11 delegates to represent 11 countries across five committees, tackling some of the most complex issues facing our world today, from lethal autonomous weapons and the Iran crisis to water rights in a rapidly warming world.


Our students connected with ten other delegations to learn, negotiate, collaborate, and advocate for the positions of their assigned nations. Through thoughtful debate and diplomacy, they put their research, communication, and critical-thinking skills into action.

Quiz Bowl began its tournament season with a strong fifth-place finish in the annual Indiana Kickoff at Purdue over the weekend!
