Micaela

This is a school for those who are driven and know what they want from life. People who just want to play before they work or who have no drive to set goals for themselves to achieve will find that St. Joe's is not the school for them. People who are not willing to make their personal imprint on Hawk Hill and take what it means to be a Hawk and make a positive mark wherever their future leads them should not attend St. Joe's.

A person that seeks diversity

Kellie

Anyone who wants a very diverse school. We're activiely working on it with recruiting, but we're not quite there.

Anyone who doesn't think they can stomach 3 theology courses AND 3 philosophy courses. Anyone who is looking for a technical program, like engineering or nursing. Anyone who would feel uncomfortable on a Catholic campus (although I must stress that they do not indoctrinate us).
