Our History

Originally founded in 1957 by the School Sisters of St. Francis as St. Joseph High School, St. Joseph Catholic Academy has always been an educational leader, consistently meeting the evolving needs of the local community. In the early 1990s, responding to requests from many of the local grade schools, St. Joseph added a junior high school to its building. Supported by several parishes, this addition provided the targeted instruction, specialized learning environment, and enhanced facility that pre-adolescent students need. Around that same time, St. Joseph became an Archdiocesan school with a layperson board of trustees.

- ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC ACADEMY IS FOUNDED -


Officially opened on July 1, 2010 on two proximate campuses, SJCA is supported by ten local parishes and has grown to be the largest private school in the area. With its comprehensive focus on academic, moral, social and spiritual development throughout a student’s entire educational journey, SJCA has strong outcomes that validate its unique educational model. SJCA has the highest graduation rates, the highest average ACT scores, and the highest AP pass rates in Kenosha County. Even more importantly, every SJCA student from the youngest preschoolers to graduating seniors is committed to serving God, others, and the community.
