St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese School (Chinese: 聖若瑟英文中學; often abbreviated as SJACS) is an aided boys' secondary school in Hong Kong. It was the first secondary school located in Kwun Tong and founded in 1958 by Rev. Bro. Paul Sun. It is a Roman Catholic school and the affiliation is Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. The Patron saint of the school is Saint Joseph. The school anniversary day is 19 March.
The school was moved from Kwun Tong Road Ex-premise, which was completed in 1967, to Jordan Valley New Campus in January 2011.
The school was founded by Rev. Bro. Paul Sun in 1958 in a villa on Kwun Tong Road, which is the premise of SJACPS now. At first, the primary and secondary sections operated together. In 1967, the secondary section moved to 61 Kwun Tong Road, which is now the ex-premise. In 2008, the school celebrated its Golden Jubilee.
The school song has four stanzas. However, in all occasions, only the first two stanzas will be sung.
