Step into the future at the 𝑺𝑱𝑺 𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑴 𝑳𝒂𝒃, where curiosity meets innovation! 🚀 From our youngest learners to our 8th grade leaders, every student is an engineer in the making. Our lab is a vibrant hub where we empower students to master the art of coding, construct robots, tackle STEM challenges, & crack the toughest codes—all while having an absolute blast. By bridging the gap between imagination & technology, our HAWKS are constantly learning & evolving, ensuring they are not just consumers of technology, but the creators of tomorrow. We love lighting the spark of discovery in every single HAWK!💡🤖✨

Meet the McGoeys 👋
𝑱𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝑱𝑺: Since 2014 (when their oldest started PK3) 😆
𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑺𝑱𝑺: Without question, it's the community! From their very first day at SJS, they felt welcomed by teachers, staff, families, & parishioners who genuinely care about one another. What stands out most is how connected the students are across grade levels. Through the Buddy Program & everyday interactions, their children always felt known, supported, & encouraged by older & younger students alike. SJS became so much more than a school for their family—it became a second home. They are incredibly grateful for the friendships, faith, & memories that will stay with them long after graduation. ❤️✨
