Welcome BBQ
A4's season-opening barbecue welcoming students and families to the new school year.
Fulfilling a Noble Promise since 1990 — building brotherhood, mentorship, and community among the men of St. Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia.
The African American Alumni Association was founded in 1990 by a group of St. Joseph's Preparatory alumni to promote good will and camaraderie among its members, to build brotherhood and community, and to increase retention of currently enrolled students.
Our alumni embrace the phrase "Man for Others" — a commitment of service that guides our partnership with the Prep admissions office to advance diversity and inclusion.
Gatherings, tutoring, and admissions support in the months ahead. See the full calendar →
