PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Dear Parents/Guardians and Students: Welcome to the SJHS family! When the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet (CSJ) founded our school, their vision was to establish a high school that would challenge students to become “all of which woman is capable” and to develop their potential in a spirit of “excellence tempered by gentleness, peace and joy” (CSJ Constitution).  Over the years, our parents, guardians, faculty, staff and students have forged a partnership to carry out this mission.  Together, we continue to challenge the mind and cultivate the spirit of each young woman, in a learning community that embodies our motto of “love, hope and zeal.” It is with great pride that I, a product of Saint Joseph High School, pass on the over forty year legacy of intellectual pursuit and spiritual development to the over 800 students who are our hope for the future.  In the spirit of the CSJ charism—a spirit of unity and reconciliation and service to the dear neighbor—I welcome you to another exciting year. May our God continue to bless you, Dr. Mendoza
