High School Heroes:
Hi everyone:
This week, we feature Gandalf Church and Burke Lokey as our High
School Heroes in Issue #23.
Issue #23
Thank you for your 23 years of combined service to SJHS!
Guest Speakers: School Safety
Last Fri. 4/13, Berrien County Prosecutor Mike Sepic and Asst.
Prosecutor Steve Pierangeli came to SJHS to address the students on school
safety issues and concerns. Topics
covered included; school violence threats, juvenile court vs. adult court
systems, student impact on life, and probation terms. The information shared was very valuable to
the students and staff.
Prom:
This year's prom, Starry Night Gala, will be held Saturday, April 21, from 7:00-11:00 p.m.
Juniors and seniors are invited to enjoy a night of dancing and
carousel rides. Tickets are $30 per student and may be purchased at
lunch. Cash or checks will
be accepted (please make checks out to St. Joseph Public Schools). If
your student plans to bring a guest who does not attend SJHS, your
student must complete and submit the
Prom Guest Form in order to purchase tickets. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Becker (tbecker@sjschools.org) or Mrs. Culver (jculver@sjschools.org).
Seniors:
Seniors, if you have received an
academic scholarship from a college, an academic institution, or organization
to further your post-secondary pursuits, please submit a copy of the letter or
award to the guidance office by May 9th. We cannot guarantee your award
will be published in the Senior Academic Award program on May 21st if
we do not receive your information by May 9th.
We believe the Academic Awards
program needs to focus on the academic achievements of the students
(scholarships and academic achievements.) So, in order to preserve the integrity,
tradition, and meaning of the program, we will be asking that department
awards, service group awards, and any award that is not an academic achievement
or scholarship, be awarded within those groups at their end of the year
meetings or banquets.

Congratulations to Mr. Culver:
Mr. Culver was recently awarded the Ann Hamilton Inspired
Teaching Award through the Scholastic Art Awards Program. Actually, this was awarded to Mr. Culver back
in February; he did a good job hiding this from us! Awesome recognition for Mr. Culver and St.
Joseph High School, congratulations to Mr. Culver!
Robotics News:
The Average Joes
competed well this weekend at the State competition. They placed 15th after
qualification rounds on their field. Competing with the 8th alliance, the
Joes were eliminated in the quarterfinals after losing the rubber match against
