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.
