Alumni
As the president of the St. Joseph’s Preparatory School Alumni Association, I extend to each of you the congratulations of your twelve thousand fellow alumni. May I also extend to you my personal praise and best wishes. Today, we are confident that the Prep has provided you with a solid spiritual and intellectual foundation. We are confident that you all have been given the tools to be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. We are confident that you will all be able to meet and conquer the challenges of today’s uncertain world. Hence, we send you forth with our highest hopes and our grandest expectations. At some schools, graduates become simply entries into their schools’ past. While you are indeed part of our rich history here at the Prep, you are also a vital part of our future. After four years, the Prep has become a part of you, and you have become a part of the Prep. Your graduation this day marks for you the beginning of a new and lifelong association with the loyal brotherhood of Preppers who have preceded you. Your fellow alumni share with you the heritage of the Prep, a heritage that we, as Prep alumni, pledge to protect and foster. Today, we invite you, our newest fellow alumni, to join with us to keep the Prep spirit alive and bright and available to generations of Preppers to come. We challenge all of you to embrace this tradition that makes the Prep what it is and what it will continue to be. We are all stewards of this great tradition. It is our shared responsibility to do all we can to ensure that this wonderful school continues to thrive so that many will be able to follow in our course. It is now my honor to confer upon each and every one of you full membership, with all attendant rights, privileges and responsibilities, in the Alumni Association of St. Joseph’s Preparatory School. May your future endeavors be as successful as your accomplishments of these past four years, and may you continue to be “Men for and with Others.” Mr. Ted Villanueva ’83

The St. Joseph’s Preparatory School Song by Gannon-Cailliet
Swing on along with the Crimson, Swing on along with the Gray, Roll up the score once again for St. Joe’s Prep With a hip, hip, hip-hooray; The fight is ours for the winning, The day is dark for the foe, So fight team fight, And we’ll bring home tonight, A victory for old St. Joe.
The School Seal In the upper left of the shield, seven stripes number the sons of the House of Loyola; in the upper right, two wolves over a kettle signify the hospitality of the House, even to the beasts of the field; in the lower left, the lilies of St. Joseph symbolize the purity which was his crowning virtue; in the lower right, the seal of the Society of Jesus, a shield containing the Greek letters IHS, the first three letters of the name of Jesus.
