SJA's concern for its parishioners did not just focus on the young and adolescents. The school has become sensitive to the needs of the adults who could not afford to attend regular classes in the high school during the day. In 1969, St. Joseph’s Academy, in cooperation with St. Joseph Parish, the High School Evening Classes for Adults (H.E.F.A.) was established. The HEFA program has thus been serving adult learners from the marginalized sector for the last 50 years.
