Be a Student Athlete. Become a Team Champion.

Whether you are a competitive athlete or a fanatical spectator, St Joes pride is on your side.

A Tradition of Excellence

Athletic involvement presents to students unique opportunities: to build community, character, integrity, discipline, and sportsmanship. Participating in athletic programs offers our students the opportunity to develop physical and athletic skills to compete in interscholastic sports and to participate in the tradition of athletic excellence at St Joseph High School--as well as to represent our entire school community.

St Joseph High School has a tradition of excellence in athletics. The school boasts over 50 conference championship banners and 50 state championship banners from over a dozen varsity team sports. Many St Joseph student-athletes have also won individual state titles in their chosen sport.

The school is a member of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) and the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference (FCIAC). St Joes joined the FCIAC in 1994-95 (after a one year probation period in 1993-94). Prior to the FCIAC, St Joseph was a member of the Metropolitan Bridgeport Interscholastic Athletic Conference (MBIAC) in 1970 and later joined the All Connecticut Conference (ACC) in 1985 as a founding member.

Sports and Teams

"I love the excitement of driving up to a big game. Seeing the school's "bomb squad" cheering my team on as we walk into a challenging match gives us the energy and adrenaline we need to win. ~ Hailey Cocca '21

Health & Wellness

In 2018, St Joseph High School opened our 4,500 square foot Health & Wellness Center. The new Center presented us with an additional location for teams to practice strength building; for parents to hold adult classes; and for all students to receive nutritional instruction.

The Center also allowed us to staff a full-time Director of Health & Wellness, Mrs Alisha Thresher, who currently organizes a variety of instructional classes, and accommodates the needs of our forty-seven interscholastic teams.

Health & Wellness Classes

Intro to Strength and Conditioning will take an in depth look at the effects of exercise on the body.
Our Personal Health and Fitness course is a hybrid health and physical education course.
Nutrition teaches students the importance of macronutrients, how culture and society affect our eating habits, healthy weight management, diet-related diseases, and how nutritional needs change throughout our life.
The Body Flow course will place an emphasis on various principles of yoga, pilates, tai chi, meditation, and basic stretching.

School Spirit

While St Joes offers more than 40 sports and teams, our students don't necessarily have to be on the field to be part of the game. Whether it be at a Pep Rally, Homecoming, or a playoff game, the students at St Joes make up a cheer-squad unlike any other!

During morning announcements, SJ students hear about upcoming games and big wins. When it comes to the "big" game, SJ often provides bussing for students who want to attend off-campus games and cheer on their friends. And our hallways are always lined with posters, photos, and flyers in support of our teams and our athletes!

Be sure to join us during one of our games and see for yourself how an SJ Cheer can make all the difference.
