Graduates of St. Joseph School often remain in close contact with their classmates throughout their lives, gathering both informally and as part of an organized event such as a reunion.
We do our best to assist reunion planning committees by updating contact information for our alumni as it becomes available and maintaining photo archives which we are happy to share. With the advent of Facebook, many St. Joe's alums have managed to locate one another and even create Facebook pages for their graduating class.

Reunions
A number of graduating classes have communicated with the school in recent years regarding their reunions and graciously submitted photos of their events to be included in issues of the alumni newsletter, "Reconnections." If you are part of the reunion committee for your class or are planning an upcoming event, we'd love to hear from you and will gladly help in any way we can, including spreading the word about your event through the website or newsletter.

Class of 1964
Calling all members of St. Joseph School's first co-ed class...Before you know it, it will be 50 years since you graduated from St. Joe's. Classmates are already making inquiries. If you would like to be part of the committee, please send me your contact information to post on the school's website and in Reconnections and we'll help you spread the word.
In the meantime, help us fill in the blanks...Maureen (Carey) Schwenk was kind enough to take a stab at identifying members of the graduating class of 1964 photographed below--she cautions that her memory isn't what it used to be, so if you spot a mistake, feel free to let us know. If you are able to assist with a name or two (or more), please contact Anne Haskins.

On October 7, 2011, sixty-two members of the St. Joseph School Class of 1966 along with 25 spouses gathered for their 45th class reunion in the school's auditorium for an evening of sharing stories, memories, and lots of laughter.
