St. Joseph's Academy (SJA) is an all-girls Catholic school established in 1868 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille. St. Joseph's Academy (SJA) is the oldest high school in Baton Rouge. It is the sister school of the all-boys Catholic High School, only three-tenths of a mile to the north.[6] It is located on a live oak shaded campus in Mid-City Baton Rouge, Louisiana, within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge.

History

SJA has been recognized four times (in 1991, 1996, 2002, and 2016) as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education.[7] In 2002, the Academy was recognized as a school of technology excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, one of only three in the nation.[6]

The Broussard Street campus is the third for the school. The original orphanage and school were located on what is now Seventh Street, and the school moved to its second campus on what is now Fourth and Florida Streets. In 1941, the campus relocated to Broussard Street, its current location.

In 2022, SJA requested approval from the East Baton Rouge Parish Planning and Zoning Commission to convert three residential lots on the south side of Broussard Street, across the street from the main campus, into parking lots. The proposal met with "stiff opposition from neighbors of the school," who cited concerns about traffic, noise, drainage, and the school's stated plans to continue acquiring property in the neighborhood for its use.[8] In 2009, SJA had withdrawn a previous request to convert the residential lots into parking lots in consideration of similar complaints from neighbors.[9] This time, the school received approval and opened the parking lots in 2023, with the result that some neighbors "now live just inches away from the parking lot, only separated by a tan fence," and others "even live right across the street from where cars will exit the parking lot."[10]

Athletics

[11] SJA competes in the highest classification (Class 5A) in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. The team is known as the Redstickers in a nod to its host city, Baton Rouge. The school's colors are red and white, with navy blue used as an accent color.

SJA competes in Basketball, Bowling, Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Powerlifting, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track and Field (Indoor and Outdoor), and Volleyball. SJA also has a Competitive Cheerleading team. Though cheerleading is classified as a club at SJA, they are still athletes who compete and bring home titles.
