Description

St. Joseph High School, referred to as St. Joe's by the local community of Barrhaven, Ontario, is a Roman Catholic high school run by the Ottawa Catholic School Board. In athletics, the school teams are referred to as the St. Joseph Jaguars and the school mascot is a jaguar named McJagger. St. Joe's has an enrollment of approximately 1425 students, ranging from grades 7 to 12, as well as 115 staff members.HistorySt. Joseph High School opened on 11 October 2002 to account for the recent growth of the Ottawa, Ontario suburb, Barrhaven. The only other Catholic high school in the area, Mother Teresa High School, was desperately overcrowded when St. Joe's opened for the 2002-03 school year. Bearing the name of another high school existing in the region during the late 1950s, the school began with an enrollment of over 1000 students. By 2005, this number had exceeded 1500 students.FacilitiesThe building of St. Joseph High School followed the design of Edward J. Cuhaci, mimicking Holy Trinity High School and many other local schools. St. Joe's has three floors, which include a chapel, two gymnasiums, five computer labs, a library, an exercise room, two art rooms, and laboratories for chemistry, biology, physics, and general science. There are 13 portables outside the school, as well as two football fields, basketball nets, and a 400-metre track.
