Student Support Resources
At St. Joseph High School, learning is a collaboration between parents, students, teachers, counselors, and administrators, each with their own part to play in a student's success. During their four years here, we allow our students to develop the right balance between adult supervision/intervention and a student's ownership for learning. Younger students naturally need more adult supervision and advocacy. But as a student matures, it is expected that he or she will take responsibility for his or her learning. In the end, if a student is to succeed in college, the student must be responsible and accountable for his or her education.
