Visit

Prospective students currently in eighth grade or higher can schedule a Shadow Visit at Saint Joe from October to January. During their visit, students spend a full school day paired with a current Saint Joe student, experiencing life as a member of our community. Whenever possible, we will match guests with hosts who share similar interests, classes, or extracurricular activities.

Eighth graders are paired with freshmen to get an authentic glimpse of what their first year at Saint Joe may look like. Students in grades 9–12 who are considering transferring will have the opportunity to shadow a student in the same grade level, helping them connect with potential classmates and experience our welcoming environment firsthand.

Shadow Visit days provide students the opportunity to experience our unique block schedule, featuring 90-minute classes that meet on alternating days. Saint Joe will provide lunch to all visiting students as part of the day's experience. 

This unique experience is offered to all 7th graders enrolled in area schools. In the spring of 7th grade, students visit Saint Joe to explore campus, attend mini-lessons, meet the faculty, interact with student ambassadors, and learn about the Saint Joe experience. The day begins with homeroom, includes lunch (always a highlight!), and concludes with a school-wide Pep Rally.

Students enrolled in our Catholic partner schools (Christ the King, Corpus Christi, Holy Cross, Holy Family, St. Adalbert’s, St. Anthony’s, St. John the Baptist, St. Joe Grade, St. Pius X) are automatically included in this day. 

Every fall, Saint Joseph High School hosts an Open House for students of all ages. Typically held in early November, the Open House offers prospective students the opportunity to meet faculty, tour campus with a Saint Joe student, learn about our classes, and explore the many clubs, sports, and activities available to students. The next Open House takes place in November 2026. 

Families with younger children may explore Saint Joe through summer camps! Athletics and Fine Arts offer camps for elementary and middle school students. Details vary by camp. The summer camp schedule is posted in early spring. Check out the summer programs page to learn more.
