If you or an alumnus you know is not receiving communications from Saint Joseph High School - we can fix that! We want to make sure everyone receives the Focus magazine twice a year, as well as our monthly alumni newsletters in addition to event invites!

So if you would like to update an address, email, phone number, last name, etc., please contact Alumni Coordinator Henry Chandler and we will get you squared away!
