The philosophy of St. Joseph’s Academy states that the “faculty recognizes parents are the primary educators who extend to
and share with the school the responsibility for the education of youth. The home and family are viewed as the basic
educational environment where values are communicated and character formation is begun and continued. St. Joseph’s
affirms the importance of open lines of communication between parents and educators and sees cooperative collaboration
as essential.”

Since its formation in 1989, the SJA Dads’ Club has involved students and their parents in activities that support St. Joseph’s
Academy, nurture family ties and help the community as a whole. The SJA Habitat for Humanity Project during the fall semester
and Father/Daughter Day during the spring semester have been signature events of the club. The SJA Dads’ Club also hosts
the SJA Golf Classic in May.

Membership includes current SJA dads, stepdads, granddads, fathers of alums and friends of SJA who have paid annual
Dads’ Club dues. The opportunity for service is available through the Back-to-School Night Committee, Security Committee,
Spirit Booster Committee, Habitat for Humanity Committee, Father/Daughter Day Committee and SJA Golf Classic Committee.
