History

Opened in 1896, St. Joseph Central Catholic High School serves students grades 9-12.

A brick house on the northeast corner of Croghan and Wood streets was purchased, remodeled to use as a high school facility for SJCC. it was torn down in 1907 to make way for a new building. [3] In 1908, SJCC's new building was completed at an estimated cost of $80,000 (nearly 2,000,000 in 2017).

in 1957, SJCC would have a new high school constructed on the corner of Croghan and North Clover Streets. The former building was used as St. Joseph Elementary School, with the new high school located next door. [4]

in 2011, the three Catholic Elementary Schools in Fremont (St. Ann, St. Joseph & Sacred Heart) along with SJCC High School were consolidated into one school system named Bishop Hoffman Catholic Schools. The name was chosen to honor the late Bishop James Hoffman, a native of Fremont, who served as bishop from 1981 until his death in 2003. Under this configuration, Grades Pre-K through 3rd were located at the former Sacred Heart Elementary building, Grades 4–8 were located at the former St. Joseph Elementary building and the High School (Grades 9–12) remained the same. The former St. Ann Elementary building was closed.

In 2015, reconfiguration of Bishop Hoffman Catholic Schools resulted in the closing of the aging St. Joseph Elementary building that served students for 107 years. In the new configuration, grades Pre-K through 5th are at the Sacred Heart Campus. Grades 6–8 are at the SJCC Junior High Academy located inside the high school building. The high school students, grades 9–12, remain in the high school building. [4]

in 2019, SJCCs, campus that stood since 1908 was demolished to make way for their new campus. [3]
