St Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community
St Joe's NEW Academic Center to Open October 1!
Beginning October 1, St Joes will open an Academic Center to empower our students in study, learning, time management, presentation skills, and individual tutoring​. 

The Academic Center will be a designated place where students may go to utilize:
  • one-on-one tutoring, organization and study skills building, writing and research assistance, and presentation coaching after school;
  • a quiet sanctuary for completing homework or reading.
Bimonthly Workshops will be held on topics such as, note-taking, organizing work/apps, study strategies, MLA 8th edition, Google Classroom, grammar and speaking enrichment, presentation tips, and overcoming performance/testing anxiety.

If you have any questions, or are interested in peer tutoring or peer coaching, you may contact Mrs Conetta at  lconetta@sjcadets.org .
