LEGACIES IN FAITH AND EDUCATION (L.I.F.E.) PROGRAM
Our Fall Development Drive "Giving Tuesday"
Legacies In Faith and Education (L.I.F.E.) is a program designed to provide the ongoing financial support that is necessary for us to live out our mission. Your participation will help to secure the future success of St. Joseph of Cupertino and our mission to pass on our faith and values. Twice a year, we ask you to consider a financial donation to one or several funds already established within the church and school. Every dollar you donate will benefit the St. Joseph of Cupertino community.

Our Diversity
There are a variety of clubs for students to learn more about a particular skill or talent. Leadership development is achieved through participation in our Student Council program, as they lead daily morning assemblies and all-school events. Our band program is very popular with the students, as well. In addition, we also have robotics, computer coding, yearbook, geometry, chess, geography, music ministry/school choir, and baking. And this year, we'll be participating in The Tech Challenge.
