African American Alumni Association

The African American Alumni Association (A4) was founded in 1990 by a group of St. Joseph's Preparatory School alumni with a desire to help current students to reap the amazing benefits of a Prep education. As engaged members of the Prep community, their impact is evident across the school. 

A4 Goals: 
  • to promote good will and camaraderie among its members
  • to promote brotherhood
  • to increase retention of currently enrolled student members
  • to promote the interests and general welfare of St. Joseph’s Prep
  • to maintain and advance the cause of higher education
