I changed some words individually so the article would look more as if an American or Englishman had written it, and be easier to read. I didn't try to translate the article's cultural attitudes - for one thing, I don't know enough about the college for such a major rewrite.

Striving for excellence should be admirable everywhere, even though it sounds a little funny here in America, even from a religious institution. But I distinguish striving for excellence from claims that excellence has already been achieved. The latter might be open to the criticism at this link: Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms.

I am a SJC alumni (a young one) and it's me who write the first draft of this page. I've done some major structural changes to this article recently and now I summarise them here:

1. I've subdivided the section History since the original one was a bit too long and affect reading efficiency. The same has been done to Curriculum and Staff.

2. I've put several things together to form new sections named Heritage and Josephians. This increases organisation of the article.

3. I've also grouped the previous Important events into the History section.

4. I've unified the style of the headings using the format recommended here

5. The format of date and year should be noted here. Therefore THE 80s was changed to 1980s.

6. Avoid peacocking: Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms

7. School Colours was renmaed Mascot.

8. Simplifying the language and avoid circumlocation.

One question: who is Clase Ejecutiva listed in the alumni list (businessmen)?
