Christopher Bakhos '19 Earns Reso Scholarship! The Jerome J. Reso Scholarship, which is awarded annually by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart to one rising senior in one of our 11 Brothers of the Sacred Heart schools in the United States Province, was inaugurated in 1992 to honor Jerome J. Reso, a 1955 graduate of Saint Aloysius High School in New Orleans, for his outstanding generosity to the province and to the Brothers. This year's recipient, Christopher Bakhos, was awarded a full tuition scholarship for the 2018-2019 school year. Congratulations Christopher!

Vignette Awarded First Place by The American Scholastic Press Association! Saint Joseph High School is pleased to announce that the 2018 Vignette literary & arts magazine has been awarded “First Place” by the American Scholastic Press Association. This nationwide contest is juried by print-industry professionals who grade and critique each literary magazine entry. Out of a possible 1,000 total points, the Vignette scored 950, thus earning this distinction. The Vignette was one of very few high schools (public and private, enrollment 500-1000) throughout NJ to achieve the “First Place” honor. Judging categories include: content coverage, organization, design, presentation, and creativity. “I am very proud of the staff,” stated Dr. Martine Gubernat, Vignette co-moderator. “A tremendous amount of work goes into putting together this booklet. They did an outstanding job.” The literary magazine has been recognized in the past by the ASPA, having earned “First Place” for the last 13 years in a row. “We are proud of our students and the Partners in Mission (faculty) who have produced a literary and arts magazine worthy of national recognition,” said Ms. Anne Rivera, Principal. “Their work exemplifies the Brothers of the Sacred Heart tradition of excellence and embodies our school’s commitment to the pursuit of continual growth. We are honored and celebrate this achievement.”

The Football Team Donates Entire Home-Opener Gate to The Marisa Tufaro Foundation! On Saturday, September 8, the football Falcons hosted Colonia in this season's home opener. After trailing for most of the first half, the Falcons flocked and managed a 28-12 come-from-behind victory, but our victory is not the most important thing that happened. Our Football team and football parents have dedicated the entire football season to Marisa Tufaro, daughter of '86 alum Greg Tufaro, and to Coach Mike Cleary. All ticket sales were donated to The Marisa Tufaro Foundation, and foundation T-Shirts will be on sale all season long for $15. Both the Tufaro and Cleary families were presented with gifts from Mrs. Rivera and Mr. Fleetwood. It was a great day to be part of the Saint Joe's community - the Falcon Flock flies together forever! Special thanks to the football parents and the coaching staff for organizing this amazing event!
