Update Written in 2010:
The 2nd principal of SJA school celebrated her 100th birthday on March 28, 2010. She was principal from 1953-1959. She currently lives in retirement at the Sisters of St. Joseph retirement facility in Nazareth, MI. St. Joan students each made a card and they sent a large box to her as a surprise. She responded with a kind letter, and in it she says, "I remember when I was at St. Joan's. We had about 1500 students at that time...It even climbed to 2000 a few years later. We had grades Kdgn. to 8th grade. You have a great school. Be proud of it."
