Conversations from 17th & Girard: Outcomes of a Prep Education
How Prep Alumni and Students Animate Ignatian Values
For 170-plus years, St. Joseph’s Prep has been a place where talented young men from across the Delaware Valley have been challenged to become the best versions of themselves. Earlier this spring, we brought four alumni who work in service industries (clergy, medicine, first responder, public service) and a current student to discuss how the Prep influenced their lives.
What is the same? What is different? The evergreen tenets of Jesuit education allow the Prep to stay focused on similar goals through the years. While that is true, over time the actualization of these goals has changed to evolve with the needs of our students and our community.
