Joliet Catholic Academy is a mid-sized, co-educational Roman Catholic high school located in Joliet, Illinois, offering a college preparatory program for secondary students. It is sponsored by the Carmelites and Joliet Franciscan Sisters, reflecting its Catholic heritage and institutional ties. The school traces its origins to 19th- and early-20th-century Catholic education in the Joliet area and was formed as Joliet Catholic Academy in 1990 through the merger of Joliet Catholic High School and St. Francis Academy. A notable recent development is the 2024 merger with St. Francis Academy, reinforcing its campus history. Community outreach includes events such as a seventh-grade Step Up Day and the announcement of a 2025 Hall of Champions: Business & Industry Class, illustrating ongoing engagement with prospective students and local industry.
