St Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community
Get Those Sneakers Ready: Walk-A-Thon is October 22!
SJ's Walk-a-thon is the largest student-led fundraiser of the year and the committee is already hard at work. 

Each student is asked to raise at least $100 and the more money they raise, the more prizes they will be able to earn! 

Past Walk-a-thons have supported air-conditioning in the Cold & Hot Food Cafeterias, the SJ Broadcasting Studio, remodeling the Student Commons, construction of the Health & Wellness Center, and more. ​Members of our community can also support the event by donating gift cards for prizes, finding sponsors, volunteering during the event, or offering monetary gifts. 

We hope you will help support our school and community. More information to come but if you have any questions regarding the event, please email Mrs Baird or Mrs Marino !
