Trojans of Character


As Trojans, we believe that responsibility calls for strong character.  We also believe that achievement is the result of consistent commitment and courage. Recently, several Saint James students and employees were recognized at our values assembly. These individuals have exhibited genuine marks of a positive mindset, kindness, respect, gratitude, humility, and honesty. We are proud of honor these Trojans who demonstrate our values daily. The recipients were nominated and chosen by their peers. Congratulations to the Saint James School Trojans of Character!
