Champions on & off the field.

Athletic programs are an integral part of St. Joseph Academy’s approach to developing the whole student. We provide positive experiences that will enable students to grow physically, mentally, socially and emotionally to reach their full potential by using their God-given natural abilities. Athletics cultivates invaluable lessons about leadership, teamwork, competition and helps develop healthy habits for life. Our programs play a vital role in ensuring our students are exemplary citizens, both on and off the field.

Hard work, grit and the will to persevere have been the cornerstones of our programs and set us apart from our competition. We are proud of our athletic success but especially proud of the character every student displays and the confidence they have to bring their faith to the field.

St. Joseph Academy has well-educated, experienced and dedicated coaches to ensure our athletes refine their skills and achieve their dreams. They don’t take their roles lightly and focus on the person as well as the player. As leaders and motivators our coaches make each student’s individual goals a priority. We’ve successfully created an athletics program that the entire student body and community can be proud of.
