Mission
Founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and rooted in their rich history and charism, Saint Joseph High School enables each student to develop her intellect, abilities, and gifts through challenging courses and diverse co-curricular opportunities. The Jesters serve the dear neighbor without distinction and work toward a just future for all. Saint Joseph High School is a Catholic four-year college-preparatory high school for young women, a ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Rooted in the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church and the rich history and charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Saint Joseph High School prepares young women "to be all of which woman is capable."
Philosophy
Saint Joseph High School affirms the importance of family life as fundamental to teaching and preserving Catholic values, and respects and promotes the parents and guardians as the primary educators of their daughters. To support the family, the Saint Joseph High School community strives to exemplify the gospel values and CSJ philosophy of serving each other and the "dear neighbor without distinction."
Engaging in the holistic formation of our diverse student body, the faculty and staff of Saint Joseph High School are strongly committed to academic excellence built on sound contemporary pedagogy appropriate to each discipline. Through faith formation, academics, service to the dear neighbor, leadership opportunities, and extensive co-curricular, arts, athletics, and wellness programs, the school provides opportunities to further enhance the moral, cultural, physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual development of each student.
Saint Joseph High School acknowledges the God-given dignity, value, and uniqueness of each student. The school is committed to enabling each young woman to become “all of which woman is capable” by developing her talents and gifts to become a positive force that contributes to the global community in “a spirit of excellence, tempered by gentleness, peace, and joy.”
