Hill Herald

St. Joseph Hill Academy, under the direction of the Daughters of Divine Charity, is grateful for the generous support of Barbara and Dom Famulari, Stephanie and Jon Fundaro, and Tillman Brokerage, Inc., who made possible our new state-of-the-art digital scoreboard. This technology opens an exciting opportunity to connect with our community at Elementary and High School home games (Basketball, Volleyball, and more). You can advertise on the scoreboard throughout the season or sponsor a one-time message during a game. Your advertisement supports our student-athletes and strengthens our school community. We currently offer four sponsorship levels below. With Basketball season underway, now is the perfect time to get involved!

At St. Joseph Hill Academy, we are taking a vital step toward securing our school's future. For generations, our campus has been a warm sanctuary for Hilltoppers. It is a place where faith, friendship, and learning flourish. Today, we're asking you to help us keep that warmth alive, literally and figuratively, as we modernize the systems that sustain our community. Sr. Mary Coffelt, F.D.C., Daughters of Divine Charity Provincial Superior, SJHA President, and SJHA Board of Trustees Chairperson, shares a special call to action with you.

For our 8th year, we're spreading Christmas joy! Our Angel Tree is back in the 4th floor lobby with ornament tags ready to be claimed. Here's how it works: Each teacher selects a tag for their class (Dec 8th). Students donate $1-2 to fund the gift (Dec 4-11). We shop from an Amazon wish list. Gifts are donated to the ACS Holiday Toy and Gift Drive. Every $20-25 class gift brings Christmas joy to families in need.
