The Prep has given me a deep insight into my personal values. In the game of golf, you need to have a high moral standard and it's never worth it to compromise that. Integrity in golf—and in life—is all on you."
Athletics at St. Joseph's Prep is an integral part of the educational experience. More than 75 percent of Prep students participate in Athletics. The members of the Prep coaching staff endeavor to instill the qualities of leadership, loyalty, and sportsmanship in our students. By participating in sports, the student-athlete learns to cope with winning and losing; to remain humble in victory and proud in defeat.
St. Joseph's Prep is a member of the Philadelphia Catholic League and District XII of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA).
