St Joseph Catholic Academy

St Joseph Catholic Academy Welcome to the official page of St. Joseph Catholic Academy. St. The Academy educates students from 3 year old preschool through grade 12 on two nearby campuses.

Joseph Catholic Academy, an educational leader and innovator in the Catholic community, officially opened on July 1, 2010. Joseph Catholic Academy has already established itself as a local, regional, and national model for positive change in Catholic education. According to the ACE consulting group from the University of Notre Dame, St. Joseph Catholic Academy, with its emphasis on critical thinki

We saved the "Jens" for last! Yesterday we shared a few new faces around the Academy, and today we have a few more. Two of them are truly new, and one is an SJ legend who needs no introduction.

- Jen Garin steps into her role as High School Principal, bringing leadership, dedication, and a passion for our students that has already made a mark on our Lancer community.

- Jen Lebiecki joins us as Director of Finance, bringing sharp expertise and steady financial leadership to the operational heart of our Academy. Jen Kenesie, SJHS '96, is of course cheering them on along the way!

Be sure to say hi to one or all of the Jens the next time you are at the Upper Campus! Missed yesterday's intro to the rest of our new faces for the 2026-2027 school year? Check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E3yB82r6Z/!

New year, new faces, and exciting changes for some familiar ones; our Lancer family is growing!

Please join us in welcoming, and congratulating, a few people who help to make this Academy the virtuous Catholic institution it is, both inside the classroom and beyond.

- Miss Chloe Kroeger joins our Lower Campus as our new 1st grade teacher, bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to our youngest Lancers. Lancer families may recognize the family name, as Chloe is the sister of our very own LC Music Teacher, Ms. Savannah Kroeger!

- Mrs. Mary Berry, SJHS '88, returns to the Upper Campus in Student Services, bringing a familiar face and a heart for our students.

- Mrs. Kathie O'Connor returns to the Upper Campus to teach Spanish, welcoming our students back with her trademark warmth.

- Rachael Hasser makes an exciting move from Upper Campus Student Services into her new role as Middle School Principal, bringing a deep knowledge of our community and a passion for student growth.

- Erin Duncan continues in our English Department and takes on a new role as an Instructional Coach this year. Working alongside teachers in reading, writing, and English, Erin will dig into student data, identify areas of growth, and provide meaningful, targeted support. Every great teacher deserves a great coach in their corner.

- Katie Drinka, SJHS '98, was a beloved staple in our LC Preschool for 15 years, nurturing countless Lancers through their earliest school experiences. Now she brings that same warmth, creativity, and deep connection to our community into a new chapter at the Upper Campus, supporting Admissions, Advancement, Marketing, and Special Events.

- Matt Rizzo and Heather Connolly, SJHS '88, are leading the charge in tandem under our new leadership model. Matt serves as Head of Student Formation and Campus Life, focusing on student culture, Catholic identity, athletics, and campus engagement. Heather joins as Head of Academy and Strategic Growth, bringing a wealth of knowledge from more than thirty years of educational leadership to guide SJCA's academic excellence, strategic planning, and long-term growth.

Our future here at SJCA is very bright. We can’t wait to see all of you Tuesday!

A new school year is about to dawn, but before it does, let's take one more moment to highlight a few of last year's accomplishments.

2026 grads Isaac and Ethan, alongside senior Max, were recognized at Kenosha's annual Mayor's Youth Commission Award Dinner as recipients of last year's Mayor's Youth Award. Among just seven students selected, Isaac and Max were awarded college scholarships from the Commission. What an incredible honor and a well-deserved recognition of their hard work and character. Congratulations to all three Lancers!

THEY'RE BACK! After a restful summer break, our teachers returned today for a faith-filled retreat facilitated by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Sustaining the Mission team, complete with bountiful hospitality on behalf of several donors wishing them a wonderful start to the new year.

Heartfelt thanks to the following: Robin Polzin - Realtor and Fancy Snacks Charcuterie for the beautiful breakfast table, LaLonde Lawn Care and Summer Moon for the coffee bar, The Vitkus family and KFC for a delicious lunch, the Debaker family for scrumptious desserts, St. Anne Catholic Parish for hosting us today, and the STM staff for helping to keep our staff "salty"!

We are so grateful for your generosity, and what a joyous way to kick off the year!
