Welcome to the St.Joseph High School Home Page, the first school home page from the beautiful tropical island of St. Croix of the United States Virgin Islands.

Started on 8/31/96. Updated on 8/24/98.

St. Joseph High School now has a web site at COBEX in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This site will be mirrored there except for some minor changes in some of the files. From here you can go to St.Joseph High School at COBEX, U.S. Virgin Islands.

St. Joseph High School is a Roman Catholic coed high school with grades 9 through 12. It is a college-prep school and its scenic campus is located at Mt. Pleasant on St.Croix.

The 1998 St.Joseph High School JETS Team placed nationally again. See their photos and story at the 1998 JETS Team site.

On November 17, 1997, members of the Science Internet Club helped to upload a photo of our 1997-98 Quiz Bowl Team that was taken on November 14. See the members of this team and their coach at the 1997-'98 QUIZ BOWL TEAM site.

Two members of the 1997-'98 Quiz Bowl Team have recently won national honors. According to the "Catholic Islander" newspaper of October, 1997, "Tamisha Navarro and Sabrina Carr, students at St. Joseph High School, St. Croix, have been named semifinalists in this year's National Achievement Scholarship Program.

This is the second year in a row St. Joseph's students have taken top places in this national scholastic competition; last year, Khalfani Garcia and Nehemiah Prince were among the top scorers in the nation.

The Achievement Program is a privately financed, annual competition for recognition and scholarships that is open to high school students who are Black Americans. The competition is conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

The 1,500 students who qualify as semifinalists are the only students who have an opportunity to advance in the competition for Achievement Scholarship Awards."

The 1997-98 school year began on August 18 with faculty meetings and preparations. Classes begin on August 25. Come back and visit this site often and watch the real learning continue to develop.
