One of the best things about our school is the incredible, rich history and the memories of the many families of students who have attended over the years. In 2000, we marked our 100 year anniversary with much celebration and fanfare. Thanks to all who attended and helped make this event a reality.
We are in the process of updating our alumni list and would love to have your current information. Please complete this form or email your information to our Development Director, Linda Shirley at

On
Father's Day 2008 we received this note:
To the children of St. Joseph's School, I
give this gift in honor of my Father, Rod
Davidson. He was born in 1927 and he
graduated from St. Joe's in 1939 or 40.
He and my mother were married here at St.
John's Cathedral in 1950. He died and was
buried through St. John's in August 2005.
How I loved my Dad - and so, in his
honor and (your own Dad's) play and study
hard, and love life as we all give thanks
for our Dads.
I graduated from St. Joe's in 1966 - it's
been a great school for a long
time! Andrea Davidson, Idaho
"What I remember most about St. Joe’s was one of
the nuns, Sister Guadalupe, who loved us with a
true passion! One time I got a bump on my head
and she took me down in the basement and held a
cold butter knife on my forehead. She was a
small woman, about the size of the Mother Teresa
statue in the garden next to the Cathedral.
You got the sense that she was really filled
with the Holy Spirit. She has been my favorite
person in life."
Jay Thyfault (attended 1956-58),
Boise
"I left the playground
and went downtown to my Dad's automobile
dealership, Custom Motors (Lincoln-Mercury)
across from the Capitol...just to get away.
Sister Zita was my 1st grade teacher and she was
terrific. Between she and my Dad they
quickly made it clear that leaving the
playground was inappropriate. My best to
all in your efforts to educate those who have a
propensity to "sneak away". Joe Myers
(attended 1948-49)-- California
