You, the students, are St. Stephens High School. Whether you’re in the classroom, on the football field, or the basketball court; sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It’s glory or defeat, but never both. The melting pot of ideas and ideals result from what you are and what you, as a student at St. Stephens, have ac- complished through the facets of the student life in academics, activ- ities, athletics and honor.
