As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, Saint Joseph High School is thrilled to announce that enrollment for 9th and 10th grades is now open to the public!
This marks a milestone moment in our mission to bring faith-centered, academically rigorous education to families in the Eastern Panhandle and beyond.
Transformative Education with Exceptional Opportunities
Saint Joseph High School is more than a place of learning—it’s a launchpad for students to grow in faith, character, and academic achievement. Our innovative high school program offers students unparalleled opportunities to:
Access Generous Financial Aid
We are committed to making this transformative education accessible to all families—Catholic and non-Catholic alike.
Thanks to financial aid programs, including scholarships and the Hope Scholarship, many families can reduce tuition by thousands of dollars or even cover it in full.
😍 $5,267.38 from the Hope Scholarship
For West Virginia families, the Hope Scholarship is expected to provide $5,267.38 for the 2025-2026 academic year.
🤩 Save Up to 50% on Tuition from TAP
For Catholic and Non-Catholic families alike, the Diocesan Tuition Assistance Program strives to keep Catholic education affordable for everyone by supporting families. Families have three opportunities within TAP to get support, starting February 1, 2025.
Phase I: Aid Application Open to Catholic Families
Phase II: Aid Application Opens to All Currently Enrolled Families
Phase III: Aid Opens to All Families Regardless of Enrollment Status, and Families that Have Had Life Changing Events
🤗 Our Adopt A Student Fund
Saint Joseph Parish also has a locally-funded Adopt a Student Fund that currently has enough capital in it to extend full tuition for up to 10 students. This is distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis, so we advise parents get applications in as soon as possible to have the best opportunity.
College Courses, Now
Earn College Credits Without Additional Tuition!
Through our groundbreaking partnerships with Shepherd University and Blue Ridge Community and Technical College, students can take college-level courses and earn credits or degrees at no extra cost beyond SJHS tuition. Whether pursuing advanced academics, career training, or creative arts, your child can graduate high school with a head start on their future.
“We’re committed to partnering with families to ensure every student has access to exceptional education, no matter their financial situation.”
“Together, we can open doors and expand opportunities for every child to grow in faith, character, and academic success.”
– Deacon Patrick Michel, Head of School for Saint Joseph High School.
