Explore Our Athletics Program
The goal of the Saint Joseph Academy Athletics Program is to encourage, teach and coach our students to compete on a Division I level. Our athletics program is designed to provide a quality athletics experience for students and the opportunity to learn valuable life skills in a faith-filled environment.
A variety of sports are offered each season, which allows for more than half of our students to participate in a varsity sport. Our athletes are encouraged to cultivate teamwork, leadership, fitness, sportsmanship and learn how they can take those irreplaceable skills beyond the fields and courts of the Academy.

Athletics at Saint Joseph Academy taught me about commitment and accountability, trust, support, compassion and understanding.
