Saint Joseph Academy is a place where remarkable young women find inspiration by becoming part of an extraordinary sisterhood.


Every day, our students are inspired by the legacy of the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph. Today, we are building on that legacy by launching InspireSJA, a $6.5 million capital campaign to create an 8400-square foot addition to the Academy building that includes new spaces for athletics and wellness, performing arts, and building community, inspiring our students to develop the skills and creativity that make them remarkable young women.

Join us in inspiring the young people who will be lifelong cornerstones of our community - guaranteeing the longevity of the Academy’s tradition.  Together, we will InspireSJA.
