Hallmarks of a San Joaquin Memorial High School education include the integration of state-of-the-art technology within the teaching/learning process, comprehensive community service-learning programs, and a wide array of a co-curricular and extra-curricular activities designed to ensure that the gifts and talents of each student are recognized and maximized.

We Believe 

Faith

San Joaquin Memorial High School is a ministry of the Catholic Church administered by the Diocese of Fresno. Our foundation is the Gospel message that inspires worship, promotes service and builds community. In partnership with parents—who are the primary educators—our faculty and staff serve as teachers and mentors in a student-centered environment. We are an inclusive community that challenges students to embrace diversity while recognizing the dignity of each individual. Our goal is to graduate exemplary citizens who will influence society through their faith, learning, service and leadership.

Learning 

We believe Memorial's rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum develops the students' academic and creative strengths. We believe in developing 21st century skills, promoting intellectual curiosity, encouraging critical thinking and instilling a love for learning. 

Service 

We believe in inspiring students to follow the model of Jesus Christ and answer the call to serve the school and greater community. We believe that each student will achieve a greater awareness and understanding of the "least of these" by becoming involved with those in need.
