It’s Not too Late to Walk Down the Path to Knighthood

The school year is almost over, and with that excitement there are more opportunities to complete the requirements for SJHS’s very own Path to Knighthood program. The Path to Knighthood program has a series of tasks or requirements, fourteen in total, from the following categories: Academics, Physical Fitness, Arts, Service, and Other (Miscellaneous). These can be completed through the course of the year. They can be found on the back of the student handbook. Lots of them are super easy. One is to participate in the school's intramural program. Another is attend a school play or concert and write a review. Lots of these you could even do with friends!   

 Mr. McGuire, SJHS’s principal, said, “It’s an opportunity for students to promote good citizenship.”  This is for every student in the school, to work toward a long term goal and be recognized for doing so, giving them a sense of accomplishment. By completing the tasks you earn a party, a gold knight pin, recognition at the end of year awards assembly, and your name permanently displayed in the Knight Hall. 

This program is unique to SJHS and is an incredible opportunity to connect with the school. Mr. Rowley, SJHS’s assistant principal, said, “It challenges students to do a little more to try to become a little better in different aspects of life.”

 Even though we are almost through the school year, it is not too late to work on it. There is still time to participate. Even if you do not think you will make it, think about it for next year. You will not regret it!
