Yesterday marked a historic milestone for our beloved alma mater as the official sod-turning ceremony took place for the construction of a brand-new annex at St. Joseph High School!

Funded by the World Bank as part of the Improving Human Capital through Education Project, this modern new facility will comfortably accommodate approximately 250 students along with several departments, washroom facilities, and sickbay.

One of our very own alumni, Her Excellency First Lady Arya Ali, delivered the featured address. She was joined by fellow alum Hon. Steven Jacobs, Minister within the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and Minister of Education, Hon. Sonia Parag, to officially break ground and kick off construction.

As alumni, it fills our hearts with immense pride to see St. Joseph High continuing to evolve and pave the way for future generations of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

To Know, To Love, To Serve 💙💙💙

It's a wrap!!

Yesterday marked the final day of formal, written CSEC exams and what better way to sign off than with the annual T-Shirt signing. ✍️

How many of you still have your signed SJH shirts?

Congratulations to the CSEC Class of 2026, we look forward to celebrating your hard work soon!

Today, we join Guyanese at home and across the diaspora in celebrating 60 years of independence!

For six decades, our beautiful land of many waters has carved out a rich history built on the strength of our diverse people. As an association, we are incredibly proud of the generations of St. Joseph alumni who have contributed to the fabric of our nation—shaping our communities, leading with integrity, and lifting the Golden Arrowhead high in every sector imaginable

Let us celebrate how far we’ve come and look forward to what we have yet to achieve together.

Happy Diamond Jubilee, Guyana!
