We look forward to your family joining the Saint Joseph High School community. The 2008-2009 school year will be an exciting time of transition for your daughter. This link is designed to assist in keeping you informed as you navigate the freshman year.
In late August, a SJHS Parent/Student Handbook will be sent home to parents/guardians. In addition, students will receive a school planner. The handbook and planner will be filled with detailed information you’ll both use throughout the school year.
Please do not hesitate to call the school office if you have any additional questions or need clarification. Our staff is here to assist you throughout the summer from 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m..
Have a safe and restful summer!
