So many great things happen at STA! I am so grateful for the outstanding faculty, staff, parents, alumnae, and STA Board of Directors members who help fulfill our mission every single day. The mission of our founding Sisters of St. Joseph continues! Our Catholic mission as Kansas City's oldest school is thriving. We are educating future leaders of tomorrow, and I am blessed to be part of this amazing community!
