Some examples include providing food and clothing to various shelters and fundraising for many benefits including Lancers Fighting Cancer, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, school supply drives, “All in it for Ellen,” Racine Habitat for Humanity as well as providing necessi-ties for students in our sister school in Paita, Peru.
Our strong academic preparation in a faith-based setting develops young men and women of character, confidence, compassion, courage, and commitment. Will you consider the investment of a St. Joseph
