3,164 Students have graduated
from St. Joe since 1924
In 1924, a ninth grade class was offered with the intention of building up the curriculum yearly so that a full four-year high school could be formed. He purchased a piece of property on the corner of 6th Avenue and 13th Street across from the rectory, renovated it for a high school and engaged the Sisters of St. Joseph to form its faculty. Although the building’s structure and facilities were not comparable to the public high school, these disadvantages were overlooked by the parents who enrolled their children in St. Joseph High School and who were amply rewarded by the solid education their sons and daughters received. The Class of 1928, with 7 students, became the first alumni of St. Joseph High School.
After the sudden death of Monsignor Altmeyer in the summer of 1930, Monsignor James F. Newcomb was appointed pastor of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and Dean of the Huntington Deanery. He also continued in the office of Superintendent of the Diocesan School System. Being a schoolman, the new pastor naturally turned his attention to the schools of his parish. He decided to replace the original building, which had been converted into the high school. The old building was demolished, and in 1932 the new high school facility opened.
This same year, St. Joseph High School was given accreditation by the State of West Virginia as a first-class, four-year high school. In 1959, the school became a Central Catholic High School for the parishes of Huntington. Also at this time, five classrooms and a physics/chemistry lab were added, and the gymnasium was remodeled to regulation size.
