St. Joseph's Secondary School (SJSS) is a separate secondary school located in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. Falling under the jurisdiction of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, SJSS shares its building with the public General Vanier Intermediate School. The two schools share a cafeteria and an auditorium but do not share educational facilities or a common administration.

History

Bishop Macdonell Catholic Secondary School first opened on September 6, 1983 with fifty-nine students, sharing a building with Bishop Macdonell Senior Elementary School. In September 1985, after the separate school system was implemented, the school was renamed to St. Joseph’s Secondary School by Percy Beaudette, and moved to its present location with Grades 9, 10 and 11. Grade 12 was added in September 1986 and Grade 13/OAC courses in September 1987. In September 1993, the facilities were expanded to its present configuration.
