[edit] History
On 16 January 1951, Father Joseph Wang, CDD was given a task from the bishop of Malang to develop a Catholic school for Chinese students whom, at the time, was learning in a Chinese school. Father Joseph Wang, or more affectionately called simply as Father Wang was a priest from the Congregation of the Lord's Disciples (CDD: Congregatio Discipulorum Domini).
The first step that he took was to buy a run down building in an area of 5000m² in 35 Dr. Soetomo Street, Malang. On 15 July 1951, the school unofficially opened with the name Roman Catholic Indonesian Chinese Secondary School (SM-RK Hwa Ind: Sekolah Menengah Roma Katolik Tionghua Indonesia). Two days later, the school began its first lessons to only 4 students. The opening of the school was officially done by Monsignor AEJ. Albers, O. Carm. on 19 March 1952, this is the date that is used as the school's anniversary.
On 4 January 1954, Father Wang opened one class for senior students with an enrolment of 27 students. On 1 December 1959, the school's name was changed to Saint Joseph College. On 1 September 1974, another campus was opened in the Blimbing area specially for the senior students. The school was named Saint Joseph Senior High School (SMAK Kolese Santo Yusup). At the time there were only 9 classes, and since then the number of classes have increased to 29 classes for senior students.
