History[]

St. Joseph’s was founded in 1993, when nine people came together to create the school. They started off their first year with a class of thirteen 9th graders and began with a donation of $800. The first thirteen students went to school with a complete college preparatory education, got to attend a P.E. class with the help of the local YMCA, and also attended Mass every week. In January 1994, St. Joseph’s relocated to a campus that was 16,000 square feet. Later that year in May, St. Joseph’s received full accreditation from the South Carolina Independent School Association. Later in the year 47 students were attending the school, and a 10th grade class was added. In the year of 1995 the school’s Math team won the statewide Math competition for their division, which had a big impact on the school’s achievements and future ambitions. By September 1996, St. Joseph’s had a full four-year high school program and nearly ten years later in 2005 a middle school wing was added.^[1] Later in November, the first on-campus gym was built.^[2] To add to the continuation of growth at St. Joseph’s, in 2008, the campus was expanded once again with extensions to the middle school, fine arts and athletic departments.^[3] The school continues to grow, with a recent extension of the Middle school, adding two more floors in the Middle School wing.
