Our Mission - In response to the mission of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph High School exists to provide a college preparatory, liberal arts education for young men in the traditions of the Catholic Church. We seek to make young men resilient and unafraid to pray.

An amazing seventy-six percent of last year’s senior class received college scholarships totaling over $24 million. In the past five years our seniors have earned over $79 Million in college scholarships.

 Ten students of the class of ’09 were accepted to Ivy League institutions.

SAT scores of St. Joe’s students far outpace state and local averages: this year 585M, 573V, 564W

St. Joe’s offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in 9 different academic disciplines, and over 400 exams were administered during the ’08-’09 academic year.

St. Joe’s academic teams (College Bowl, Mathematics, Robotics, Computers) annually earn state, regional and national recognition.

The Falcon Newspaper as well as the literary magazine the Vignette received national honors. 

St. Joe’s inducted 45 students from the Class of 2010 into its Vox Sapientiae Chapter of the National Honor Society, which requires a 3.9 GPA and a commitment to service, leadership and character.  We also have honor societies in Language, Science and Art.

This fall, football joins the array of athletic teams, which total 13 varsity teams and many junior varsity and freshmen teams that compete the “St. Joe’s Way”.

There are a total of 54 clubs and activities that complement the strong academic environment, offering talented students countless opportunities for challenge and growth. 

Community service is emphasized at St. Joe’s.  During the past academic year, $16,000 was raised during the Thanksgiving Food Drive to feed over 400 families. Over 10,000 hours of community service were performed by our students.

The annual Christmas on Campus played Santa to 75 disadvantaged children, and dress down days generated $25,000 to local and statewide charities as well as missions of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart.

Fully 10% of St. Joe’s 800 students receive financial aid to offset their tuition costs – largely with funds generated through the Annual Fund.  St. Joe’s also awards several partial scholarships from its endowment.
