PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

St. Joseph High School is an independent Catholic college preparatory community that educates and motivates young women and men to live purposeful lives as ethical leaders committed to the common good of all.

Dear Friends,

Greetings from St. Joseph High School. I am delighted to report that here on Huntington Turnpike our campus is blooming, both with new spring flowers and an energized focus and earnest commitment to daily continuous improvement. Our Cadets are thriving in their studies, after school extra-curricular activities, on the athletic fields, and in their service to our local community.

SJ staff and faculty have been collaborating across all academic departments to curate new academic opportunities for the year to come. The strategic expansion of our curricular options is aligned with an unprecedented level of scheduling flexibility allowing students to earn graduation credit(s) during accelerated summer courses. Cyber security, drone technology, and sports management are just a few new options Cadets have to explore their academic interests and pursue their future career paths with passionate confidence.

A tremendous sense of community and belonging amongst our students is evident in their enthusiastic engagement in and out of the classroom. Whether it be committed athletic participation as a team member or loyal fan; Pizza & Prayer; multicultural week potlucks; a snowy trip to Quebec, or SJ school buses overflowing with donated food headed for local shelters and soup kitchens – SJHS continues to foster friendships and create beautiful memories to last a lifetime. We encourage our students to strive to become well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make a positive contribution to society. They inspire us and make us proud every day.

As we look forward to the new opportunities of this invigorating Spring season, we remain committed to providing a nurturing and challenging learning environment for our students. We know achieving this goal is only possible because of you - our supportive alumni, friends, parents and guardians. Your active partnership makes an extraordinary difference in helping us to provide an exceptional co-ed Catholic learning environment for our students. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

In Faith & Fellowship,
