SOUTH BEND — “This moment is triumphant and overwhelming. After so many years of having the vision and, now, seeing it become a reality, I am grateful and humbled,” said Saint Joseph’s High School Principal Susan Richter about the ground- breaking ceremony held on Friday, June 10, at the site of the new high school. “Over 50 years ago, members of our commu- nity and our parishes funded the building of Saint Joseph’s High School; and, once again, over 1,300 people have generously made financial commit- ments for the new Saint Joseph’s High School. Moreover, a dedicated and hardworking group of people have ensured the tradition of excellence will continue to flourish well into the future,” Richter added. Over 300 people attended the groundbreaking and blessing of the land officiated by Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades. The current building was constructed and opened in September of 1953 and the new building is slated to open for the 2012-2013 school year at the new address of 453 Notre Dame Ave. in South Bend.
