BOALSBURG, PA, January 25, 2021—In its 10th year of existence, Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy is pleased to announce their admittance to the Tri Valley Athletic Association (TVAA) effective in the 2022-2023 school year.

Director of Athletics & Activities Dr. Rodkey is looking forward to this opportunity. “The WolfPack is excited to be joining the Tri Valley Athletic Association. The TVAA has great coaches and quality athletic programs. We believe this league is a great fit for our school and athletic programs.”

The TVAA is currently home to East Juniata High School, Greenwood School District, Halifax Area School District, Juniata High School, Line Mountain School District, Millersburg Area School District, Newport School District, Susquenita School District, and Upper Dauphin Area School District.

Juniata County School District’s Athletic Director Mr. Quici is looking forward to the addition of Saint Joe’s to their league. “A few short years ago we were very concerned about the future of our league, with this addition, it shows the determination of the league administrators to keep our league alive and thriving. Saint Joe’s will bring a nice variety of sports and raise the competition level for all of our teams.”

The move will bring stability to Saint Joe’s athletics and help to build relationships in new communities. Ms. Mallett, Saint Joe’s Head of School, sees these advantages acknowledging, “Being a member of this league will bridge gaps, bring people who otherwise might not interact together, and provide opportunities for our student athletes not available elsewhere. We are looking forward to sharing experiences with the teams and communities of the schools involved with the TVAA.”

“The TVAA is excited to bring in SJCA,” Mr. Todd Rupp, Executive Director of the Tri Valley Athletic Association, said. “SJCA will be a great addition to our league providing solid competition.”

“I am grateful to Mr. Rupp and the league athletic directors for giving us this opportunity. This move will benefit our student-athletes and we are looking forward to growing our relationships with the member schools,”Dr. Rodkey commented.
