St. Joseph High School, also known as St. Joe's, is an independent, all-boys Roman Catholic college preparatory school located on a 70-acre (280,000 m2) site in Metuchen and Edison, New Jersey. It draws students from a wide geographic area encompassing over forty school districts and over seventy grammar schools in Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties, as well as other outlying areas. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1968.
St. Joseph is operated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, who have been active in American education since their arrival from Lyon, France in 1847. From 1901 to 1961, St. Joseph's served as a center for training and educating Brothers prior to their apostolate. The main school building was dedicated in the spring of 1963.
There are both lay and religious teachers. As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 705 students and 53.3 faculty members (on an FTE basis), resulting in a student–teacher ratio of 13.2:1.
Brothers Stanislaus Florent and Philip Lindner moved into a three-story roadhouse in 1902 with the intention of setting up a training center for novices. Their funds were limited and finding willing recruits for the novitiate proved to be difficult as few people had heard of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. However, by the start of the first session in November 1902 there were ten postulants.
