New Student Admissions

Application for admission to SHJ School demonstrates a willingness to be committed to the first priority of our school: the faith formation of our children. This commitment calls for active involvement in and support of the SHJ Community. SHJ School expects parents as the primary educators to be the role models for our students as they strive to live their faith on a daily basis. Active involvement in support of both the parish and the school is an expectation of all requesting enrollment for their children in our school.
