SJA Congratulates David Gonzalez, National Merit Commended Scholar Winter Bi- Annual 2019 SJA Congratulates David Gonzalez, National Merit Commended Scholar In late 2017, over 1.6 million students across the nation took the PSAT and entered into a competition for the National Merit Scholarship, a prestigious award given to the highest scoring students in the nation. The top 3% of all scores are recognized as commended students, a truly notable honor. These young men and women have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic and scholarly success. Congratulations to SJA Senior David Gonzalez for outstanding performance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. David is flanked by his family, Ismael and Isela Gonzalez.

Class of ‘68 Reunion Page 14 Alumni News Page 15 Page 2 Winter Bi– Annual 2019 Principal Todd DeClemente A new year brings with it a unique opportunity to look back with fondness and analysis of the previous year, while looking forward to the future with excitement and energy. It is my sincere hope and prayer that we all do so with faith in our hearts and a belief that God is there with us on our journey. Just remember that the New Year is not just about making broad sweeping changes in our lives, but about building on who we are and focusing on how we can become closer to the person God wants us to be. Our faculty spent some time preparing for the new year by learning more about the legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph. More specifically, they enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Sr. Carol Stovall who led us in a prayerful retreat centered on the Maxims of Perfection. The maxims are a set of principles upon which to live a life of faith. Each maxim contains a brief reflection, a scriptural reference and a suggested application to our daily lives. We are working together to use them as Spiritual resolutions in the new year and working to pre- sent some of the more relevant ones to our students. You can check them out here: http://www.ssjfl.org/prayer/maxims -of-perfection/. This spring we are also looking forward to welcoming two exciting additions to our staff. The first is a second school counselor with a background in Mental Health Counseling and experience as a learning specialist. We believe she will be a wonderful addition to our more aptly named Office of School Counseling and College Planning. We are also working with a consultant on a new marketing plan for the school. As part of the process we’ve partnered with Flagler College to bring a social media and marketing intern onto the staff for the semester. She’ll be working with the Admissions and Development offices, as well as my office, not only to enhance our social media presence (and if you are not already following us on Facebook, Insta- gram and Twitter, I hope you will!), but to assist us in looking at a more robust approach to messaging in our community. The last note is that I’d like you to keep an eye out for an email survey that will be released in early February regarding a feasibility study we have been working on since this past summer. There are some notable plans in the works for the future of St. Joseph Academy that I’d like your feedback on before we move forward. As you peruse the stories and accomplishments listed here, I hope you are as excited as I am about the successes of our students. May God continue to Bless St. Joseph Academy! Todd DeClemente SJA Tuition Raffle Most Successful Tuition Raffle To Date The drawing for the Sixth Annual Tuition Raffle took place on September 7, 2018, during the Homecoming Football Game.

Winter Bi– Annual 2019 Page 3 The St. Augustine Alligator Farm 38th Annual Golf Classic to Benefit SJA The 38th Annual Golf Classic was held on Monday, November 19, 2018. This was our second year at The Golf Club at South Hampton. Thanks to Willy DiStefano, South Hamp- ton’s owner and Golf Pro and their outstanding staff for their assistance and for going the extra mile to make sure every aspect of the tournament ran smoothly. God blessed us with magnificent weather and a field of 116 golfers! Fr. Jason Trull, Pas- tor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic offered a prayer to begin the tournament, thanking the golfers for their participation and support of Catholic education. Gratitude goes out to a great group of sponsors and golfers who participate and support the SJA Golf Classic each year. Your generosity and loyalty to the cause is greatly valued and appreciated. The 38th Annual Golf Classic generated $27,200.00 net for the Academy, surpassing last year’s total and coming in as our best result in Golf Classic history! We look forward to see- ing you next November! A new trophy has been added to the Golf Classic this year: The Low Gross Champions Tro- phy. The Low Gross Champions’ names will be engraved on the trophy each year, and this Golf Classic Trophy will enjoy a place of prominence in the Lobby at SJA.

  • Dean's Message
    COEHS Vol 15, No 2 Jan-Mar 2009 Dean’s Message “T here must be a continuous process of educational renewal in which colleges and universities, the traditional producers of teachers, join schools, the recipients of the products, as equal partners in the simultaneous renewal of schooling and the education of educators." (from John Goodlad, Educational Renewal: Better Teachers, Better Schools) The College of Education and Human Services does not exist in a vacuum. Our faculty are gifted, and our students bring many talents into their programs of study, but good faculty and students, though necessary ingredients for success, do not, in and of themselves, make for good professional programs. Indeed, an excellent curriculum grounded in the best thinking in the field and linked to the world of practice is also needed, but a good curriculum alone does not equate with a good program. So what else is needed? The answer to this important question lies in our professional and community partners who contribute so much to the work we do and who become the benefactors of much of our outreach. Our local school districts are chief among our educational partners. We rely on the good will, cooperation, and input of superintendents, principals, and teachers to make our best work still more excellent. This spirit of collaboration is perhaps best exemplified in our four urban professional development schools (PDS). These four PDS’s—Woodland Acres Elementary, West Jacksonville Elementary, Pine Estates Elementary, and Lakeshore Middle—serve as clinical laboratories in which good teaching is fostered. Our COEHS resident clinical faculty members promote the growth of our teacher education students who are assigned to their PDS sites as tutors, preinterns, or interns.

    Parent / Student Handbook 2020-2021 2609 Park Street Jacksonville, Florida 32204 (904) 387-2841 Dear Parents and Students, “A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.” Pope Benedict XVI Welcome to St. Paul’s Catholic School! In choosing St. Paul’s School, you have demonstrated a commitment to the values and philosophy of a Catholic education. The Parent/Student Handbook reflects the policies of St. Paul’s School for the 2020-2021 school year. Please read this document carefully and sign the attached agreement. This agreement states that you will abide by the policies of St. Paul’s School during the 2020-2021 school year. The faculty and staff of your school look forward to working with you to promote academic excellence and spiritual development in the context of the teachings of the Catholic Church. Together let us pray that God, who has begun this good work in us will carry it through to completion. Mrs. Kim Repper Principal 2 St. Paul’s Catholic School History In 1914, His Excellency Bishop Michael J. Curley purchased land in Riverside to build a church for the increasing number of people moving into the area. The project did not receive impetus until 1922 when the most Reverend Patrick Barry was petitioned by Riverside residents to build the church. Bishop Barry appointed Reverend William Barry as the first pastor and it was under Father Barry’s guidance that St. Paul’s church-school building was completed in 1923.

You gave us Jesus to be our Savior and Friend, our Brother and Redeemer. Jesus sends us as members of His body, the Church, to be His presence in service to our brothers and sisters. Everything we are, and everything we have, are gifts from You and meant to be shared.
