Alumni Spotlights…
Adrian Granados, Class of 2007
Junior Welterweight Box
"El Tigre"
Adrian is a professional boxer and a lifelong resident of Cicero. Adrian is now 21 years old and has now been boxing
for 6 years. Adrian graduated from Lincoln Elementary School in Cicero and our very own St. Joseph High School.
As a junior welter boxer his record is 6-0 with three knock-outs. His

Adrian intends to continue his professional boxing career, but the
necessary expenses can be daunting. El Tigre is looking for sponsors
to help with these expenses. If you are interested, the following
donations will provide you advertisement on his worn apparel:
 A patch with your name/logo on his shorts worn during the fight:
$500
 Name on his t-shirt worn before and after the fight: $500
 For Adrian to wear your business or your personal shirt: $1,000
Any donation is greatly appreciated. Checks can be made out to
Granados Box and mailed to:
Adrian Granados, 3423 S. Austin, Cicero, IL 60804
Adrian’s next match is tomorrow, Friday, August 26th at The UIC
Pavilion. He will be boxing 8 rounds with Frankie Gomez 10-0.

EXCEPTIONAL INNOVATIVE FAMILY
The St. Joseph High School soccer team has a great year
ahead of them. The 2011 season is full of tough competition
and new opponents.
St. Joseph recently joined the Pepsi Showdown and will host
the first round of the tournament on September 6th against
Downers Grove North. They will also continue to play in the
Windy City Tournament at Reavis High School and hope to
make it back to Toyota Park to battle for the championship
once again.
Ruben Estrada, Ariel Guzman, and Jose Carrera have been
training and improving to help lead the Chargers to success
over the last three years. The three captains have been on
varsity for three years and play for the F.C. Drive and the
Chicago Magic U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
From the start they have shown plenty of experience and
knowledge of the game as well as a winning attitude
throughout the St. Joseph community. They have worked
hard to keep the winning tradition of St. Joseph alive and
continue to strive for excellence not only on the soccer field
but also in the classroom.
Ruben Estrada: “This year I plan on being a leader to the team, I plan to push myself to be better, and to ask the
best of all of us. I love this team not only for the hard work we put in as teammates but also because I see them as
brothers. We will win as many games as we can and learn to be the best team we can be throughout the year.”
Ariel Guzman: “I came to St. Joseph for a great education and found a great soccer program. Our coach helps us
reach our goals and the faculty at St. Joseph supports us on and off the field. I would not want to be anywhere
else and with the heart the team has shown through preseason training the possibilities are endless for this
coming season.”
Jose Carrera: “I have high hopes for the upcoming season and for the team. As a captain I want to keep the guys
disciplined and working towards our goals of winning conference and state. We see ourselves as a great team that
needs to work to push each other to be better. In all things, I believe in my teammates and know that I can count
on them to accomplish everything we set our minds to this season.”
Congratulations,
Ruben, Ariel and Jose!
St. Joseph High School Twinned With St. Joseph School in Africa
The “Twinning Program” is a Christian Brother mission program whereby each of the Lasallian schools in the USA are
twinned with a Lasallian school in Africa. For the past 7 years, St. Joseph High School has been twinned with
St. Joseph School in Nazareth, Ethiopia (Africa).
The Mission of the twinning schools is to collect funds to support the students in need. Every Wednesday during
homeroom at St. Joseph High School, students collect money to support their twin school in Africa. After 7 years of
participation, Chargers have contributed over $41,000 to their twin!
A little about our Twin….
St. Joseph School is located in the eastern part of Addis Ababa, the capital city of
Ethiopia. It was established in 1958 and will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in
2008. The school offers primary and secondary education from kindergarten to
grade 12 and has about 1,030 students. The school needs a lot of attention. There
are a good number of students who are not able to pay their school fee. Therefore,
the school covers their tuition. Students pay $110 each school year. The fee does
not go beyond the teachers salary.
