Here's Why Our Students Love STJ!
Jayden Adames, Class of 2026
St. Joseph High School has been the stepping stone to help me cross every major obstacle I have faced over the last four years. I wholeheartedly believe that the Flyer Family is the very reason I will continue to grow as a student, a young man, and a child of God. Much like Saint Joseph himself, who fostered Jesus’ growth in God, this institution helped me to grow in my relationship with Him as well.

The past four years at STJ have impacted my life in so many different ways: academically, spiritually, and socially, and I feel very prepared for the next chapter of my life. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me.
A Word From Our STJ Parents.
Teresa Hernandez- Olvera and Dr. Noe Olvera
In continuation of our commitment to Catholic education, we chose to send our children to St. Joseph High School. Having experienced the benefits of a Catholic school environment throughout their earlier years, we knew that St. Joseph High School would provide the same values and supportive atmosphere. When selecting St. Joseph High School for our children, one of our primary considerations was ensuring they would receive a rigorous academic experience. We believe that challenging coursework is essential for preparing students not only for the demands of university but also for success in their future endeavors. St. Joseph High School has consistently demonstrated a strong tradition of equipping its students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in higher education and beyond. As parents, we have witnessed firsthand how the teachers here foster a genuinely supportive learning environment for all students. Their commitment ensures that students feel encouraged and guided throughout their educational journey. We couldn’t be more appreciative of the administration, teachers, coaches, and staff for their thoughtful effort and dedication to their students.

As a military recruiter assigned to St. Joseph High School, I was incredibly impressed during my first encounter with the STJ faculty, staff and students. After expressing my amazement, I was extended an invite for my freshman daughter to attend a Shadow Day with a current STJ student. She was anxious and reluctant to attend, but ended up having her best day of school for that entire year. The transition was nearly seamless from public to private education. My family’s growth in faith, maturity in community and personal successes are a direct reflection of the shared morals and values within the Flyer family. We are loving the journey!

We couldn’t be more thankful for St. Joseph High School when we moved to Victoria a little over a year ago. Moving two teenagers across the country was no easy feat; but the welcoming culture of STJ made the transition so smooth for our daughter! She immediately found her tribe and has thrived both socially and academically. The high caliber education she is receiving is setting her up for future collegiate success. Our son is a freshman this year and has equally enjoyed attending STJ. As he transitions into high school level studies, we are thankful for the extra support and tutoring available that we did not see in public schools he previously attended. To see them both so happy and motivated to pursue their studies has made us so incredibly happy we chose STJ!

From the moment we attended Open House we experienced a warm and genuine welcome. Not only were we impressed with the academic, spiritual and extracurricular offerings, we were captivated by the statements from all who articulated how St. Joseph High School values each student’s academic success, spiritual growth and development and a readiness for both college and society. As a family who strongly believes in providing our son with the best academic experience possible, rooted in Christ’s guiding principles, we purposely chose STJ for his educational journey. He is thriving, learning and developing a foundation of essential skills that will serve him well in school and in life. The talented and caring teachers and staff create an ideal environment for academic, social, spiritual and emotional growth.

We love STJ! As a new family here, we are just starting our Flyer journey. Our family moves a lot for work, and has experienced several other Christian and public schools in Texas. The staff at STJ has been the most wonderful. We’ve never experienced such enthusiasm, care and attitudes of humble service. When communicating with the staff, it feels like they consider it an honor and a privilege to be on this journey with your family. We feel confident that the rigorous curriculum and the emphasis placed on helping students be able to speak for themselves, will help empower our son to connect and take ownership of his education at STJ and beyond. So far, it seems like an environment well-suited to help young people discover their full potential as scholars, athletes and members of the body of Christ. Our family has been warmly welcomed and we look forward to enjoying the journey!

St. Joseph High School has been such a gift for our family. Our students' route to this Catholic high school came from completing K-8 in the public school system. From the moment we toured STJ to this day, we knew this was the best decision for our children. As far as a school, St. Joseph offers many positives: academics, athletics and fine arts. Our two public school kids, at a very transitional academic age, knew only a few future classmates, however, they were welcomed, befriended and included. The faculty and staff are happy to serve and this can be witnessed in the joy they have for their students and their long tenure as faculty at STJ. Most importantly for us, St. Joseph High School puts a premium on character development in the curriculum, in the gymnasium, on school trips and in the cafeteria. As parents, we are very pleased with St. Joseph High School and our kids are happy being a part of the Flyer family.
