Welcome to Saint Joseph High School

We are a Catholic parish high school, founded in 1915, located in Natrona Heights, PA.  Saint Joseph High School has been educating students for over 100 years in academics, the arts and athletics.  St. Joe's currently educates 160 students from 2 dioceses, 44 parishes, 4 counties and 21 school districts.  We are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

We regularly turn out National Merit recognized students, collegiate academic scholarship winners, award-winning theatrical productions, WPIAL section championship basketball teams – and solid citizens.  In fact, Saint Joseph High School is the only Pittsburgh Diocesan high school to be named a School of Excellence (formerly named Top 50 Catholic High School) in the Nation since 2006.

Sanctity

We believe that each person is called to spiritual and moral growth which is the ultimate goal of all curriculum and programs. Through an understanding of the Gospel message and active participation in Liturgy and prayer, each student is encouraged to grow in relationship with God and neighbor.

Justice

We believe that each person is called to make the Gospel visible in the world. Through an assimilation of the Church’s social teachings and recognizing the dignity of each human being, each student is invited to work to build up the Kingdom of God.

Honor

We believe that each person is called to act with integrity. Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, each student is challenged to act with truth regardless of the consequences.

Scholarship

We believe that each person is called to continuously seek truth, information, and knowledge. Through a college prep program that encourages academic excellence and challenges students to think critically and creatively each student is motivated to take ownership for their own learning and seek solutions to life’s problems in the light of Christ’s teachings.

Entering college with 30 credits from SJHS has given me the opportunity to earn my Bachelor's degree in three years and become involved with many other academic and non-academic interests. Graduating an entire year early has allowed me to pursue a Master's degree with the same amount of time and tuition most students spend to earn their undergraduate degree.

The value of a Saint Joe’s education is the best value in our family budget. Our SJHS alumni children have saved us 13 years of college tuition due to the college credits in high school they earned and because of the education they received!

What I love most about the Saint Joseph High School community are the teachers. Saint Joe’s teachers care as much about their students as the subjects they teach. They are involved in the lives of those they serve as mentors, trusted advisors, and allies. Having trusted adults meaningfully involved in the lives of our young adult children is integral to their development and to our sense of peace and security.
