During church services on April 9th, the St. Joseph High School Senior Class Officers presented the senior crest, which represents its graduating class of 31 seniors, to the entire faculty, student body and clergy. It's an annual tradition symbolizing how their Catholic faith is intertwined with their educational achievements. Such framed crests line the high school's halls reminding all who view them of the graduates' unity in their faith.
Senior Class President Olivia Keisling explained the crest's design and thanked seniors Izzie Garrett and Ella Rose who were instrumental in its creation. Senior Class Sponsor, Ms. Alicia Yrle, was also involved with the project. "Our crest centers around unity with the Eucharist as its focal point," President Keisling said. "It is the center of our faith as Catholics, and it connects us as one. When we come to the altar to receive Jesus' body, we become family."
The crest includes a bible verse from Romans 12:5 and a rosary frames it which holds the name of a senior in each bead. Keisling concluded "It is our hope that future classes who see our crest remember to stand together in spite of their differences as brothers and sisters in Christ."
Senior Class Vice-President Daniel Trusty and Secretary Emma Allison held the crest.
