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.
Strong leadership runs through the core of our Athletics Program. Athletic Director Mr. John Manuszak was named the Athletic Director of the Year, an award presented by the Northeast Alliance of Catholic Athletic Administrators for the 2018-2019 school year. The Alliance presents the award to a person from a member school who demonstrates commitment, service and dedication to Catholic education through athletics.

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

Watching my coaches and serving as team captain developed my leadership skills, which play an important role in my career today. -
