Located in the heart of Bangalore, St. Joseph's Boys' High School has been a
beacon of education, hope, and community for over a century.
The school has nurtured generations
of students, giving them the knowledge, values, and confidence to make a positive impact in the
world.
Following the disruptions of the pandemic, when global physical activity levels declined
due to lockdowns, remote work, and school closures—the SJBHS Old Boys Association (OBA) and Parent
Teacher Association (PTA) recognized the need to reintroduce physical challenges that could help reverse
these effects among children and adults.
Their goal was to promote healthier habits for both
children and adults, while also reconnecting the community.
This vision led to the creation of
the Josephite Run in 2024, an event designed to bring together students, teachers,
alumni, and the wider community.
The Josephite Run helps build a healthier future by promoting
physical fitness, mental well-being, community spirit, and family bonding.
The funds from the
event support the educational needs of underprivileged children, further
uplifting the spirit of the school community and beyond.
