Over seventy-five years ago the parishioners of St. Joseph Cathedral decided to take control of their children’s education. When St. Joseph School opened its doors in 1925, their vision and dream for Catholic education was realized. That dream continues today. Through the hard work and dedication of experienced faculty, staff and administration, St. Joseph Regional Junior High School is a state of the art facility, rich with history and catholic tradition.

Dedicated members of the school community have enabled St. Joe’s to keep pace with today’s students. The school building, while maintaining its historical integrity, has been continuously updated to sustain an environment that is respectful of the learning process and addresses the needs of all students.

St. Joe’s is built on a solid foundation of academic excellence and Christian values. The school continues to grow with technological advancement and dedication to the Arts. Each classroom at St. Joe’s has Internet access and all teachers are encouraged to integrate technology into their lessons. The spectacular auditorium allows students to discover hidden talents in various stage productions. Whatever their interests, St Joe’s provides the setting and encouragement to help students develop their skills and explore new opportunities.

St. Joe’s is the only Manchester-based catholic school focused exclusively on the education of 7th and 8th grade students. This wonderfully unique setting provides an unparalleled opportunity to design programs specifically geared towards this wondrous age.

Furthering Christian values and providing the tools necessary so that each student can reach his or her own God-given potential is our measure of success. Educating the ‘whole’ student to become a caring, responsible and responsive member of society is the ultimate mission of St. Joseph’s Regional Junior High School.
