Summary:
St. Joe's has been a part of Buffalo history for 150 years. From its modest beginning in 1861 in a small building behind St. Joseph's Cathedral to its sprawling campus on Kenmore Avenue, the Christian Brothers school has been a prominent contributor to the educational landscape. On the occasion of its sesquicentennial year celebration, the proud legacy of St. Joe's is documented in this book. The Christian Brothers have always been noted for their demanding academic curriculum and rigorous discipline. This story is documented with narrative and photographs. Read about some of the school's more prominent alumni, outstanding athletic teams, the visual and performing arts and the other extracurricular activities that make St. Joe's the great school it is today.
