Senior year is filled with traditions, celebrations, and moments your daughter will remember for years to come. As the leaders of the St. Joe community, seniors have the opportunity to welcome new Angels, celebrate cherished traditions, reflect on how they have grown, and prepare for the exciting journey that lies ahead after graduation.

From Senior Investiture and Senior Service to Prom, Baccalaureate, and Graduation, this year is filled with milestones that celebrate all your daughter has accomplished during her time at St. Joseph's Academy. This page is designed to help you navigate senior year, celebrate these unforgettable traditions, and know where to turn when questions arise. Thank you for partnering with us throughout your daughter's high school journey. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2027 with you during this special year.

Here is some important information to highlight:

  • Students can also purchase their senior tankard which has the school’s crest and class name list on the back. These cannot be ordered late so get your order in!

Spring 2027 & Graduation

Graduates in caps and gowns stand in formation on a floor in front of an audience seated in tiered bleachers.

“Today, the outdoor theater remains one of the unique and especially attractive features of the whole campus, and over the years has provided the setting for May Day crownings, school masses, and, especially, graduations… One of the original functions of the outdoor theater, according to the architectural plans, was to serve as the venue for graduation, still a time honored tradition today.”
- excerpt from the 1973 yearbook
