Greetings from 17th & Girard!

Thank you!

If you're reading this blog, then thank you. Your interest in the Prep - whether you're an alumnus like me ('00), a current parent, or a curious 8th grader - is appreciated, and I'm thrilled that you landed here.

My name is Ed Turner, admission director at St. Joseph's Prep.  The topic for the Prep admission office's first blog post is simple: gratitude.

Take a look at the following pictures:

The first picture is of my brother, Danny '09, on his graduation day. The next one is of four members (including me) of the Class of 2000. My hope is that these pictures show you many things: joy, brotherhood, accomplishment, excitement, and promise. But above all, I hope that they illustrate a profound sense of gratitude. We Prep guys are thankful - each day - for the education we received at 17th & Girard, and we can't think of a better place to spend your high school years.
