St. Joseph School

    The St. Joseph School Junior Class of 2022 took part in a special Ring Day Mass in the church on April 14. The students received their class rings from Father Tony Robbins, and all but one were newly purchased.The lone exception was Luke Pope.
    Elementary School Principal Courtney Pope is Luke's mother. She and the rest of their family decided to do something different with Luke's high school ring. Ms Pope spoke to her father, retired educator John Jordan, who spent nearly 40 years in public education as a teacher, principal, and superintendent. He was also a 1965 graduate of St. Joseph School.
      Together, the decision was made to give Mr. Jordan's ring to his grandson which he now proudly wears. "It's really cool to have a ring that old," Luke said. "It inspires me to be more like my grandpa." (Luke is seen in group photo after Ring Day Mass with his grandparents, Jo Ann and John Jordan)
