Dominican Sisters served as members of the original staff of Saint Joseph High School. The initial freshman class consisted of one-hundred fifteen students. The faculty of eight included four sisters, two lay classroom teachers and two athletic instructors. Until the high school building was ready for occupancy in November, faculty conducted classes in Saint Joseph Grade School's Holy Family Hall.
The original physical complex contained twelve classrooms, office facilities, library, cafeteria, and a medical suite. As the student population increased, work began on the second phase of construction in 1965. The new three-story wing provided additional classrooms and facilities for the Science, Business, Athletic, and Home Economics Departments.
