Our students are off and running in their courses but we want to take a quick break to look back at some of our favorite events & moments in September.

From so many campus visits to assisting students near and far and even hosting Northwest MSCA on campus, it was a great month. Now, we look toward what October has in store for us!!

Great things are happening at SJSD!!

The SJSD Foundation is proud to make a $25,000 commitment to help launch a new dual credit scholarship program for St. Joseph School District students!

This investment will help students earn college credit while still in high school—giving them a head start on their education, their careers and their futures.

And every big idea needs a catalyst. 💙

We are incredibly grateful to UMB Bank, whose initial $7,200 gift helped turn this vision into action and provided the momentum to build something even bigger for SJSD students.

More details are coming soon, and we cannot wait to share what this opportunity will mean for SJSD students and families.

It has been busy for us recently as we hosted some of our ECA students on Tuesday and Thursday this week. First-time students from Benton, Bishop LeBlond, and Central got a little bit of information and a little bit of fun during their ECA Visit Days.

From Starbucks and Griffon Headquarters to tours with Admissions and some faculty appearances, getting these students set up for the semester has been an absolute joy and anytime we can connect with our students, it's a great day!

Started off our day at St Pius X with Señor Duque's Spanish class and then we immediately followed that up by welcoming Mound City ECA students on campus for our first visit day of the year!

We are so thankful for both opportunities to connect with them and if you haven't been able to tell, we work with some great students!

We’re celebrating our ECA students (and all of our Griffon family) hitting major milestones. To our college students who walked the stage yesterday and our high school students who will soon do the same, congratulations and we’re proud of you!
