Dear Bloodhound Families and Friends,
As I reflect upon the accomplishments of the 2017-2018 school year at Saint Joseph Academy, I’m filled with immense joy and gratitude for the many blessings that fill our campus each and every day. For over 150 years, Saint Joseph Academy has continued to raise the bar for excellence in Catholic, college-preparatory education with our Marist charism of St. Marcellin Champagnat at the heart of everything we do. We acknowledge that this would not be possible without the unyielding dedication of our parents, grandparents, alumni parents, friends, alumni, community partners and students.
Walking our campus each day and witnessing our students engaged in learning and discovering their God-given talents, I am reminded there is something for everyone to get involved in at Saint Joe. Because of your support our students can truly find it here, and because of you, we continue to produce exceptional graduates who are people of faith, skilled lifelong learners, healthy individuals and involved leaders and citizens of our world. I hope you have had the opportunity to see the fruits of your efforts, whether it be through attending school events, interacting with our students or by staying
connected with our school through our publications and social media.
Looking back on last year’s accomplishments and highlights, many of which are noted in this annual report, I am reminded that none of this would be possible without your gifts of time, talent and treasure. Through our Taste of the Town event, Giving Tuesday, Style Show, SJA Alumni Golf Tournament and the St. Joe Fund, Saint Joseph Academy’s fundraising efforts reached new heights enabling us to offset the difference between tuition and the cost to educate each student, while providing increased financial stability and resources for our school. Here at Saint Joseph Academy, we feel the best is still yet to come!
Thank you for your support in leading us to this exciting time in the school’s history as we work to mold SAINTS and SCHOLARS. We look forward to your continued partnership in the years ahead. Ad Astra Per Aspera,
Michael Motyl President
Science Labs Restoration
Six years ago, a group of students, faculty and other school leaders met to discuss the future of science education at Saint Joseph Academy. Aware of what surrounding educational institutions offered its students in science education, the group realized it was time that St. Joe change its strategy if it wanted to stay in the game. The difference? Funding.
With no state funding, independent schools must rely heavily on grants and private donations. However, prior to approaching prospective donors about the potential project at hand, the group discussed and developed the story behind the need. In short, Science Chair Gracie Touchy ’79, said the group agreed that, “The old bio lab was not a safe environment anymore and it hindered the teaching of biology with labs. Knowing the importance of science/STEM in the world today, administration agreed with the need for new labs.”
Moving forward with the project, the team consulted with the School Board’s Building and Grounds Committee to find long term solutions that included working with long time Saint Joseph Academy supporter, Jorge de la Garza ’84 and his construction company, Ziwa Corporation. With De La Garza’s company at the helm as general contractors, the school’s Advancement Team began to reach out to private foundations and donors whose mission or philanthropic ideals were in alignment with the school’s project.

In 2011, the first of many gifts began, and construction commenced several years later with the gutting and abatement of three of the old classrooms in the Upper Division. Removing everything but the bare walls, the construction team rerouted the electrical wiring, gas and plumbing lines, increased the ceiling height and added new sheetrock, floor tiles, furniture, lab tables and cabinetry. In 2017, Phase One of the project was complete. A new, large multi-purpose
Engineering lab was unveiled. This engineering room is also home to the ten zSpace stations that were generously donated to SJA. These computer stations “combine virtual reality and augmented reality to encourage engagement through exploration and experiential learning in a studentcentered environment” (www.zspace.com). The second classroom that was completed in Phase One, was a state of the art physics lab. These additions are allowing SJA students to stay academically competitive with surrounding community schools. Phase Two of the project then began with two additional classrooms in the Upper Division being gutted to the bare walls once again. All the walls were removed, the ceiling was given more height and the spaces received almost the exact same cosmetic upgrades as the Phase One renovations before them. When construction was complete in the summer of 2018, SJA now had a state of the art Chemistry lab and Biology lab.
In the fall of 2018, Chemistry teacher, Mr. Jesus Abrego moved in and was finally able to call the newly renovated classrooms his home. He is especially excited to put the lab to good use. “I have spent the last five years watching the plans develop, change and finally a version came to fruition with the production of the Engineering and Physics lab. I am probably most excited about my Advanced Placement Chemistry students and Chem Club members’ reactions because they will truly experience the difference in the lab,” says Abrego.
Although history has taught us that patience is a virtue, the science department is nonetheless beaming with pride and gratitude for the 139 donations made toward the project. “Surrounded by increasingly competitive schools, especially in the field of science, we really needed to step up our program. I believe these labs…are a nice step in that direction,” says Abrego.

Alumni Golf Tournament
The Saint Joseph Academy Alumni Golf committee hosted its 31st annual SJA Golf Tournament at Rancho Viejo Resort and Country Club on Saturday, June 2. With 102 players and 34 teams, SJA alumni from all over Texas gathered for a fun filled day of friendly competition.
Prior to tee off on Saturday, a Friday evening dinner was held for SJA alumni at the Brother Francis Garza Student Center. Attendees reminisced on the good times they had while attending SJA with classmates while others anticipated the friendly competition of golf they were going to have the following day. Guests were treated to a barbeque dinner catered by Edward Mathers, a silent auction sponsored by various local retailers, and music by DJ Gilbert Fasci.
After a day in the sun, the golfers, their families and the other alumni relaxed by the beautiful swimming pool at Rancho Viejo Country Club as the festivities continued with good food and great company. It was a great weekend to be a Bloodhound!
Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this event possible. • • • •

Although nervous and anxious to begin a new school with the worry of meeting new friends looming above her, Espinoza easily fell into her new home adding that, “the people within the Saint Joseph Academy community are so kind. I was worried I wouldn’t maybe make friends since I was entering as a freshman when everyone else already knew each other. But to my surprise I have made many new friends here at SJA. I felt very comfortable and as if I belonged to Saint Joseph because of my teachers, peers, and it’s Marist value.”
Montagne Scholars Program
AMALIA ESPINOZA ‘19 Working diligently, Amalia Espinoza stays engaged with school, extracurricular activities and by giving back to the community in which she grew up in. Her name, after all, means “work”, and the Saint Joseph Academy senior is no stranger to working hard while maintaining an A/B average on her schoolwork. After attending two Brownsville Independent School District elementary schools in her younger years, Espinoza learned about Saint Joseph Academy through her aunt and grandmother while she studied at Guadalupe Regional Middle School. While she shared her family’s sentiment surrounding SJA’s mission, Espinoza understood costs to attend the school could hinder her possibility to attend.
However, thanks to the Montagne Scholars Program, Espinoza was able to further her Catholic education regardless of the costs. “Knowing this (program exists) makes me feel blessed. This truly makes me believe that in the SJA community people care about the students and that is what brings us closer as a family,“ says Espinoza.
A sense of family spirit is one of five distinctive Marist pillars that define SJA’s educational style and philosophy as is a sense of love of our work. Espinoza embodies this Marist trait as she joyously participates in organizations such as Marist Youth that allow her to give generously with her heart. While a sense of giving back is second nature to Espinoza, she adds that SJA has contributed to the person she is today by allowing her to further express that love of service through community engagement. “I have grown stronger in my faith because of the Marist values and many opportunities SJA provides to its students to connect with God on a personal and spiritual level,” says Espinoza.
As her years as a Bloodhound slowly come to a crossroads, Espinoza sits back and reflects on the program that made this journey possible and adds that she hopes the program is never taken for granted stating that, “Giving us the chance to show the school and the world what we are capable of is one of the many reasons we are so thankful to be a part of this program. If you are considering in giving to the Montagne Scholars Program many more students could be given the chance to find their passions and show the community and then the entire world what they too are capable of.” With aspirations to pursue a career in journalism, Espinoza believes in utilizing local resources and plans to attend the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley before hopefully transferring to the University of Texas San Antonio.
The Montagne Scholars Program works in tandem with Guadalupe Regional Middle School to enroll and cultivate at-risk, economically disadvantaged, academically qualified students by providing optimal amounts of financial aid and targeted academic and social support. For more information on how you can help a Montagne Scholar, please contact the Office of Academy Advancement and Alumni Affairs. 5
SJA Athletic Booster Club
The Saint Joseph Academy Athletic Booster Club had a successful year providing support to all the SJA athletic teams. The Booster Club facilitated multiple fundraising endeavors beginning in August with an 80-page Athletic Program Book that was published thanks to hundreds of local businesses that supported the book with the purchase of advertising space. Shortly thereafter, on November 2nd, Booster Club members Felicia Edge ‘85, Marcela Lawler ‘84 and Carole Montemayor chaired the organization’s annual food-tasting event, Taste of the Town. Drawing in a recordbreaking crowd of over 700 people, guests gathered in the familiar, tranquil courtyard of SJA. There they sampled delicious delights from over 30 Rio Grande Valley restaurants. On Saturday, April 14, the Boosters hosted its second annual Basketball Tournament with a BBQ plate sale made possible by Tipton Motors. With the success of these events, the Boosters were able to give $75,000 to Saint Joseph Academy towards the Athletic Department’s general operating budget. Thanks to the many families, local businesses and friends of SJA, the Athletic Booster Club was able to raise much needed funds to help support the fighting Bloodhound teams!
Taste of the Town
Taste of the Town was held on Thursday, November 2nd at Saint Joseph Academy. The event brought together parents, alumni, and SJA friends to enjoy a time of community fellowship while supporting the Bloodhounds. Every year, the Athletic Booster Club recognizes one member of the SJA community who stands out for his or her dedication and commitment to SJA athletics and inducts them into the Ring of Honor Circle. This year, the honor was bestowed upon Joey Lopez ‘77, for his role in St. Joe athletics. Mr. Lopez was a member of the SJA Athletic Booster Club for 13 years and served as president for six of those years. He served as the 7th & 8th grade girls assistant basketball coach for four years, girls varsity head golf coach for nine years, and was a member of the SJA Alumni Golf Committee for 12 years. Mr. Lopez is a true testament to the commitment that embodies a Ring of Honor recipient.
The SJA Athletic Booster Club is very grateful for the following participating restaurants in this year’s Taste of the Town. 3 Marias Chick- Fil- A Chicken Run Chili’s Bar and Grill Dulceria Pinkis El Piquin Sabores Mexicanos El Ultimo Taco Fabrizzio's Fiso Seafood Cuisne Golden Corral Huateque ( Orquidea) Jason’s Deli Johnny Carino’s Italian Restaurant • Kumori Sushi and Teppanyaki • La Taquiza

Basketball Tournament
The 2nd annual Basketball Tournament had many teams in attendance that came from all over the Rio Grande Valley. Thank you to all our sponsors who helped make this a great event. SJA would also like to extend a heartfelt “thanks” to Tipton Motors for providing and cooking all the food for the 500 hamburger plates that we sold. Our team of volunteers that helped make this event possible was lead by chairperson, Karla Garza, who worked tirelessly to make the tournament a great success for the Athletic Booster Club.

2018 Style Show: Broadway “Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway. The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway…” Broadway was live on stage for SJA’s 63rd Annual Style Show featuring iconic music from some of the most popular plays in theater. In keeping with tradition at the Academy, the show honored the graduating class of 2018; students danced and modeled apparel from fashion merchants in the Rio Grande Valley. Thanks to the SJA seniors, their families and three dedicated, event chairs, Ceci de la Garza, Mireille Gonzalez and Connie Rodriguez, Broadway was a great success!
The event, held on March 23 at the Jacob Brown Auditorium, was opened by the ladies of Saint Joseph Academy, adorned in vibrant colors and flowers, as they danced to, “America” from West Side Story, choreographed by Mayra Vidal. The senior boys followed in the second act of the show with an incredible rendition of “The Bottle Dance” from Fiddler on the Roof, choreographed by Marcela Saldana and Ben Estrada. Always a favorite, the routine from The Boot Jack was an amazing hit which featured a medley of Broadway tunes choreographed by Vero Garza-Puig ‘93. This year, dance numbers were included for the first time ever from each grade level. Middle Division students wowed the audience with a number from Rock of Ages, a piece choreographed by Carolina Gomez ‘17. The freshmen danced to “Step in Time” from Mary Poppins, choreographed by Elizabeth Borrego; sophomores boogied to “Big Spender” from Sweet Charity, choreographed by Sara MarroquinCuellar; and the juniors brought down the house with their interpretation of “When you are an Addams” from the Addams Family, choreographed by Katie Wiley-Gomez. The grand finale featured the Class of 2018 inspiring all with “Alexander Hamilton” from Hamilton choreographed by Nancy Houston-Filizola ‘93.
This year’s Broadway, will go down in the books as one of the best shows produced and it could not have been made possible without the support of our sponsors, Dr. & Mrs. Jose Bossolo, Mr. & Mrs. Marion Lawler, Mr. & Mrs. Luis Rodriguez and Mr. & Mrs. Frank Zabarte. Style Show requires hundreds of hours of committed practice by students of SJA and their talented choreographers, months of planning by parent volunteers, Style Show committees, and the many merchants whose fashions are showcased on 8
stage. Finally, with the endless labor of love and dedication by Mr. Tony Cantu, who has produced the last 15 Style Shows at Saint Joseph Academy, the event is not only a hallmark of the school, but of the community of Brownsville.
The evening of entertainment is the culmination of months of dedication by all involved in the spotlight and those backstage that are never seen by the audience. For each one that made it a success, we are grateful.
