Last night was a heck of a football game. St. James and Cuba battled back and forth. Two student sections were rocking. The stadium was packed. It was hot, so the start time was pushed back an hour because of the heat. With 47 seconds left, a Cuba player went down. And everything changed. The longer it took, the quieter the stadium became. The rivalry disappeared. Red Tigers and Yellow Wildcats alike were simply hoping for the best for that young man. When he was taken to the ambulance, the entire stadium gave him a tremendous ovation. The game resumed. St. James won. But after the final whistle, both teams and their coaches gathered at midfield and knelt together in a quiet moment. That's the picture that should be remembered from last night. Social integrity is a focus at St. James right now. Our kids lived it last night. After four quarters of competing against each other, they put all of that aside and came together for something bigger than the game. That is something worth being proud of.

Activities Fair at the High School!

Students went to the gym last week and got to explore all the different clubs and organizations at the high school. They got to hear from student representatives and learn all the amazing things each club or sport has to offer.

🏈 **TONIGHT’S GAME TIME HAS CHANGED!**

Due to the excessive heat, tonight’s kickoff has been moved from **7:00 PM to 8:00 PM**.

We’re making this change out of an abundance of caution, while still looking forward to a great night of Tiger football.

After yesterday’s challenge, we’re expecting a **BIG crowd tonight!** 🐯

STJ, let’s pack the place! We’ll see you at **8:00 PM!** 🏈

🎓 CLASS OF 2027 — YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO HEAR THIS.
Yesterday, we shared information about changes to student parking for the 2026–27 school year. We recognize that we could have done a better job explaining the bigger picture from the start.
For several months, we’ve been working with input from our Principals’ Roundtable to develop something special for our seniors. Our plan was to finalize the details and unveil it when the Class of 2027 returned to campus.
We’re excited to share it with you now!
🎨 INTRODUCING SENIOR LEGACY PARKING!
We are creating a designated Senior Legacy Parking area with numbered, reserved spaces. Eligible seniors will have the opportunity to choose their own space and paint it with an approved design for the 2026–27 school year.
Yep. Your own numbered space. Your own design.
The remaining parking spaces will be numbered and reserved for underclassmen to choose from when they purchase their parking passes.
🎓 PILOT YEAR — CLASS OF 2027
Students must be classified as a senior for the 2026–27 school year, and for the pilot year they must meet at least 2 of the following 3 requirements:
📅 90% attendance or higher
📚 2.5 GPA or higher
✅ No Out-of-School Suspension (OSS)
Applications will open soon. Details about space selection, design guidelines, and the approval process will follow. Please keep an eye out for that information.
The paint may not be permanent…but your senior year is. 🎓

Parking Pass Update
🚗 Parking Passes for This School Year

We’re making a change to student parking this year! Instead of assigning each student to a specific numbered parking spot, we are moving to open parking.

Students who purchase a parking pass will be able to park in any available numbered parking space in the student parking area. Your pass gives you access to the parking lot—it will no longer correspond to one specific spot.

We believe this will make parking simpler and more flexible for everyone.

📌 Parking passes are available now for $10.

When purchasing a parking pass, students will need to provide the following information:

Vehicle Make
Vehicle Model
Vehicle Color
License Plate Number
Students can bring this information to the office when they come to purchase their pass.

Thank you for helping us make this transition smooth, and we look forward to a great school year! 🚙
