St. Joseph High School

Where you go to high school matters. Make it count at St. Joseph High School. St. Joseph High School is a Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school in Trumbull, Connecticut, dedicated to forming young men and women who are prepared to meet the challenges of the collegiate world and beyond. Our aspirational academics are intentionally designed to stretch students beyond curriculum to become problem solvers, critical thinkers, language aficionados, art lovers, and lifelong learners. More than typical college prep, SJ offers an experiential education that grows between the textbooks and classrooms; between students and faculty mentors; between the locker room and the field; and between faith, friendships, and family. As the largest co-ed Catholic high school in Connecticut, SJ gives students the opportunity to learn and connect across cultures, religions, and borders in a faith-based community that joyfully welcomes students of all beliefs. Students seek out their talents across academics, athletics, arts, clubs, and service; strive for greatness by expanding their boundaries; and serve the common good by embracing our motto, “With Privilege Comes Responsibility.” Our renowned athletic program builds community, character, and discipline while teaching life lessons that extend far beyond championship banners. Through service initiatives and spiritual formation, students deepen shared values, explore their faith, and uncover a sense of purpose that prepares them for lifelong self-direction. St. Joseph Cadets are on a mission: to be their best selves and to make their mark on the world. Learn more at sjcadets.org. Phone Number: 203-378-9378 ext 308 Email Address: admissions@sjcadets.org
