Best investment we have made. We are thankful that we can send our son to St. Joe`s. Boys do learn differently, and St. Joe`s has given our son a chance to thrive. He works hard because he wants to be there and he is respected. The teachers are amazing and they go above and beyond.

An amazing school! Academically, every student is challenged to do well by a very skilled teaching staff. Academics definitely come first, and as long as the student applies himself and stays on task, the results will be outstanding. Athletic programs are great, as well as extra-curricular clubs and activities. By far the best high school in the area, I can't recommend it enough!
