Four Valedictorians!

            At St. Joan of Arc, we are always incredibly proud of the many former students who distinguish themselves in high school. This year, the Class of 2019 (SJA Class of 2015), held a distinction of historical importance. For the first time in the history of St. Joan of Arc Catholic School, FOUR of our former students were named valedictorians at their Catholic high schools!
 

Regina High School
Elizabeth Nosek - Valparaiso University
Monica Pitlock - Loyola University Chicago

DeLaSalle Collegiate
Joseph Schaeffer-Michigan State University

Austin Catholic High School
Christian Spearman-Xavier University

          These incredibly bright, hard-working, dedicated students excelled in high school,  earning summa cum laude honors, and succeeding in a variety of activities from Student Council, National Honor Society, Forensics, and Choir, to athletic pursuits like soccer and baseball.
         
            May God Bless Elizabeth, Monica, Joseph, Christian, and their families on the next leg of their journeys. The Charger Nation beams with pride and rejoices with them!

Mission Marathon:  Worth Waiting For!
Students walked a total of 749 miles around the half mile course to help others.
Donations were made of over $4,300 (before expenses) as a tribute to our beloved Sr. Carol and Archbishop Mike Byrnes.  The money will go to the Sr. Carol Family Fund to assist families in need.
Thank you to all who made this a marvelous day!

God Has Chosen Me!
We all like to be chosen.  It makes us feel special and extraordinary.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!!  GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU…

He has chosen us to help the needy.  He has chosen us to bring joy to those who are unhappy.  He has chosen us to share His peace with our classmates. He has chosen us to tell everyone about the love of His son, Jesus. He has chosen us to make a better school, a better Church, and a better world.

God has chosen me to be Christ for others.
