While most students who probably were not aware and would not believe these claims, they were not exposed to that side of those people actually had. Most of the females and drone-follower type of students who were normally submissive were not picked on because they allowed the alpha male bullies to pursue this type of non nonsensical actions.
And if these claims were not connected during the time of an alumna's studies, then you were lucky.
This private high school was one of the worst high schools of them all. Poor leadership, disrespectful students, low test scores, and questionable parental support. Some students were rude, disrespectful and get away with mischief if they had some connection to a staff member or a relative, literally.
The school student decline might have been caused by various factors:
2. Some boys reported sexual acts by religion teacher, Father Frank Rose, and his mysterious departure from the high school in 1999.
3. Msgr Peter Cheplic, a pastor who has taught at Saint Joe's, was known to have drugged and performed sexual acts to some high school male students during the 1980's. and was transferred out with the support of Father "Joseph Petrillo" (1942-2013)
4. Accreditation auditing hardly ever took place along with the lack of external teacher performance of the course curriculum they taught.
7. The high school gained a reputation of accepting deviant registered students that were kicked out from other high school in order to graduate with a diploma.
8. Its clubs, sport societies, as depicted on its annual yearbooks were not real and were only functional when the annual yearbook photo sessions happened, while throughout the whole year there would be no actual events
10. Reported orgy at the high schools swimming pool during 1994-1995 year and gym teacher did not take action (Slawson)

In this passage, we will attempt to highlight some occurrences that were not fully covered by the majority of the Alumni population. The Saint Joseph of the Palisades High School had bullies, sure, some bully activities were probably more dominant in different decades but the intention of publishing this is dedicated to the quiet victims who failed and did not manage to get any justice about what happened to them.
What was observed in the archives found among alumni and former students who successfully transferred out was that the dominating bullies were from sport groups such as the Swimming Team, Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Track teams.
A possible cause for the complaints informed to past Principals (Joseph Petrillo, Michael Musante, Damian Kennedy, and Bruce Segall) were not properly managed due to the historical ties some of the jocks/sport members were 2nd or 3rd generation Blue Jays.
It was more disgusting to discover that in the 2000's some of those bullies did become teachers of the High School. Why?
This was a supposedly Catholic Educational school which allegedly had some type of values but were the following values Catholic? They seemed more like a dirty locker room talk and enjoyed preying on the quiet victims.
- a group of members of the swimming team attempted to drown a student by putting the student into the bottom of the pool
- some swimming team members would run naked in the showers and force to undress those who were not participating in their sausage fest (class of 1994, 2000)
- disrupting the class for the sake of attention. Such as throwing pencils, pieces of papers to passive students, and even strong smack in the back of the head to other students who they knew they would not fight back because otherwise a long fight would take place...and that is what they were probably yearning for.
This was a Catholic High School were every student's family had paid annually for a service: to be educated. But having alpha-male bullies while vice principals and principals doing nothing about stopping the bullying.
While most students who probably were not aware and would not believe these claims, they were not exposed to that side of those people actually had. Most of the females and drone-follower type of students who were normally submissive were not picked on because they allowed the alpha male bullies to pursue this type of non nonsensical actions.
And if these claims were not connected during the time of an alumna's studies, then you were lucky.
When compared to other high schools such as: Memorial High School, Union Hill, North Bergen High School, High Tech, this private high school was one of the worst high schools of them all. Poor leadership, disrespectful students, low test scores, and questionable parental support. This was where you send your kids if you want them to go to prison when and if they graduate. The administrative board should have been fired, they didnt even acknowledge parents complaining about the mistreatment some students had with some bullies that had connections and ties to alumni who donated. Some students were rude, disrespectful and get away with mischief if they had some connection to a staff member or a relative, literally.
The school student decline might have been caused by various factors:
1. Reported drug enhancements sold by some faculty mentors. (Gabriela Lazzara)
2. Some boys reported sexual acts by religion teacher, Father Frank Rose, and his mysterious departure from the high school in 1999.
3. Msgr Peter Cheplic, a pastor who has taught at Saint Joe's, was known to have drugged and performed sexual acts to some high school male students during the 1980's. and was transferred out with the support of Father "Joseph Petrillo" (1942-2013)
4. Accreditation auditing hardly ever took place along with the lack of external teacher performance of the course curriculum they taught.
5. During the mid 1990's and to its near end in the late 2000's, students had a negative or a neutral opinion of the school nicknaming unofficially: "Saint h*e's"
6. A reported claim by a number of students that a female teacher by the alias of Ms Labamba had sexual relations with a student and eventually became pregnant.
7. The high school gained a reputation of accepting deviant registered students that were kicked out from other high school in order to graduate with a diploma.
8. Its clubs, sport societies, as depicted on its annual yearbooks were not real and were only functional when the annual yearbook photo sessions happened, while throughout the whole year there would be no actual events
9. Alleged rape caused by the class of 2000 that was covered up immediately.
10. Reported orgy at the high schools swimming pool during 1994-1995 year and gym teacher did not take action (Slawson)
11. Rumored affair of high school principal Michael Musante with a foreign female student that took place in the mid 2000s.
12. Harassment toward student(s) by former teacher Alex deRojas (St Joes 2000).
13. Former teacher Gail Juzdan left the high school caused by toxic activities from students harassing her physical appearance.
14. The high school hired non-certified teachers to lecture physics, biology, art, music, English despite the hired persons lack of experience. It was possible favoritism took place.
15. Students transferred out to other high schools when they found out that there were out dated books, unclean bathrooms with the smell of cigarettes, hostile class clowns who constantly took away a lot of teaching time.
16. Some teachers were lacking in skills and backing to take are matters in isolating problem makers.
