A team of six St. Joseph's students recently made it to the final four in the Fed Challenge, <br /> a national economics challenge in the nation's capital. It was the school's third trip to <br /> nationals since it formed a team in 1999. Since 1953, the school has a history of <br /> community service, including an annual day of service each fall in which more than 90 <br /> percent of students participate. <br /> "It's good to have options,"the mayor said. "Investment in facilities for St. Joseph High <br /> School at either location is positive for the City of South Bend and enhances the <br /> comprehensive redevelopment efforts under way in the Northeast Neighborhood. If the <br /> decision is made to locate at the Medical Center site, a new downtown high school will <br /> complement the energy of other investments in the East Bank Village and will enrich <br /> both students and faculty with an urban experience. If they expand at their current <br /> location, St. Joe will remain rooted in South Bend and will continue to be a great choice <br /> for families that choose parochial education for their children, leaving the hospital site <br /> available for an exciting mixed-use development with new housing, commercial space <br /> and offices." <br /> - 30 - <br />
