Saint Joseph High School is a private, parochial Roman Catholic high school in Harrison Township, Pennsylvania. It is the only parish-operated high school in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

History

Saint Joseph High School was established in 1915 by Bishop Regis Canevin as part of Saint Joseph Church, a parish in Natrona, Pennsylvania.[2]

The school opened the Walter Dlubak Athletic Center in 2009, home to the SJHS Spartans; math and science classes are also held in the building.[3] It shares its main school building with Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament School, an elementary school for grades Pre-K through 8

In September 2015, Saint Joseph High School celebrated their Centennial which continued with other celebrations throughout the 2015-16 school year. Some of these included the rental of a snow cone truck, a pilgrimage to see Pope Francis in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pep rallies, and a special red centennial school uniform sweater with the centennial logo.

Alma mater

All hail to St. Joe's High! Noble and strong.
Through the dear portals lies the truth of our song.
Fly thy colors, red and blue, Wisdom echoing.
Lead on, O guiding light, of thee we sing.
All hail to St. Joe's High! Our voices raise.
To the Alma Mater, the tribute of our praise.
Live, O Alma Mater! Humble hearts we bring.
Bearer of truth and light of thee we sing.[4]

This is sung by the student body at nearly all school functions and after all basketball games and school dances.
