The St. Joseph High School senior class officers in Conway presented the senior crest, which represents its graduating class of 31 seniors, to the entire faculty, student body and clergy April 9. It’s an annual tradition symbolizing how their Catholic faith is intertwined with their educational achievements. Framed crests of previous years line the high school’s halls.
Senior Class President Olivia Keisling said seniors Izzie Garrett and Ella Rose were instrumental in its creation. Senior class sponsor Alicia Yrle was also involved with the project.
“Our crest centers around unity with the Eucharist as its focal point,” Keisling said. “It is the center of our faith as Catholics, and it connects us as one. When we come to the altar to receive Jesus’ body, we become family.”
The crest includes a bible verse from Romans 12:5 and a rosary frames it, which holds the name of a senior in each bead.
