The Sisters of St. Joseph found Stella Maris, a Catholic high school for girls
The Sisters of St. Joseph started Stella Maris in 1943 as an all-girls Roman Catholic high school in the Diocese of Brooklyn, on a site overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Its signature tradition was Blue and Gold, a spirit contest pitting freshmen and seniors against sophomores and juniors.
“Stella Maris was established in 1943, by the Sisters of St. Joseph.”
