We are excited to provide a unique opportunity to 8th grade girls to feel The Hill Experience this Fall. At St. Joseph Hill Academy High School, we seek to educate and empower young women to be confident independent thinkers with strong character and leadership qualities, who stand ready to meet society’s challenges. We hope this day helps students to imagine a future for themselves as a Hilltopper, someone who always strives to reach the highest good (summum bonum). 

 

We can accommodate up to 8 students per date to ensure we follow necessary Covid-19 protocols. You will receive logistical information in advance of the date you select below. Please register three days prior to date selected. Continue to check back here for availability as it can change quickly. We can't wait to meet you!

 

If you do not see availability or have any questions, please email Ms. Lindsey Minkoff at LMinkoff@stjhill.org.

There is something about a Hilltopper and it is more than just the saddle shoes!
 
The students, faculty, and our beautiful campus grounds are at the heart of the experience at St. Joseph Hill Academy. We are excited to welcome you to an in-person Open House on Sunday, October 24, 2021 where you will have an opportunity to speak with students, hear from our faculty and administration, and tour our building and grounds. 
 
In keeping with Covid-19 protocols, you must register in order to attend. We will welcome forty 8th grade girls accompanied by one parent/legal guardian every 30 minute minutes beginning at 11:30 am and ending with our last session beginning at 2:30 pm.

Come to our Zoom Q&A on Tuesday, 11/2 at 7:00 pm! This will be especially helpful for 8th grade girls that were not able to attend Open House in-person.
