St. Joseph's Boys School

St. Joseph's Boys Higher Secondary School is a residential school in Coonoor in The Nilgiris District of Tamilnadu, South India.

St. Joseph’s Boys’ Anglo-Indian Hr. Sec. School, a Residential-cum-Day School, which is often called St. Joseph’s College, was founded in 1888 by the Brothers of St. Patrick (Patrician Brothers). The Principal and senior teachers were all Irishmen till the late sixties. Absolute dedication combined with a sporting spirit and a sense of humour was their hallmarks. The focus was not only on academics (with an emphasis on the Arts) and sports but also in developing "gentlemen", who would be responsible citizens.

The school stands amidst beautiful surroundings on the crest of a hill 6,000 feet above sea level, just a few minutes walk from both Coonoor and Wellington Railway stations. The mean annual temperature is 18.3 C and this salubrious and sylvan surroundings is ideal for the growth and development of children. The School has students from all over India and abroad.

The school is noted for its excellent facilities and strong focus on sports such as football and basketball and placing equal importance on academics. The school has often been referred to as the "Giants of the Nilgiris" having won the Inter-School Athletic Championship for the past20 consecutive years. The school has also become a football powerhouse in the region over the years. The recent addition of an indoor basketball court and gymnasium promises future strides in basketball and other sports as well.

The icing on the cake was achieved when they bulldozed their way to win the 2007 state level football competition with relative ease.And a defence of both the Inter School Athletic championship and the State Level Football Tournament is on the cards.

The students popularly known as "The Josephites" are famous for their multi-facetedness and versatility. The Community "SJC Coonoor" in the popular social networking site - "Orkut" has the most members among all English speaking schools in the Nilgiris.
