An evergreen favourite song among all Josephites, young and old alike. It has a long history, with the original song composed having more verses than what is sung now! The School Song Ring out the battle call of Duty! Unfurl the flag of Faith and Toil! We deem our soul's eternal beauty A life-long Victor's worthy spoil A thousand such have proudly gone before us To win and spread our School's renown: 'Tis our's to swell with our voices the chorus And with our deeds enrich her crown. Faith and Toil, conquerless alliance Wherein we clasp human hands unto God's! In His control find we true self-reliance; My hand and God's - Whate'er the odds My hand and God's - Whate'er the odds My hand and God's Evil's onset hold in defiance!

St. Joseph's Boys High School, Bangalore (formerly St. Joseph's European High School) was founded in 1858 to offer a liberal education for the boys of European and Anglo-Indian families. After India's Independence, admission was extended in the 1950s and 1960s to include all students, irrespective of race, religion or caste.

Students of all religions are admitted and put under the supervision of the religious Fathers and Brothers. The school buildings are situated in the center of the (formerly European quarter of the) city, between Museum Road and Residency Road. The now obsolete dormitories were initially housed in the upper floors.

The large open playgrounds belonging to the School afford ample space for cricket, football, hockey, badminton and other games and forms of exercise. One of the grounds was situated in the school premises while the other, where the school cricket team trains, is called the Centenary Ground located on Mahatma Gandhi Road near the Mayo Hall. The School pays great attention to physical training and sports and has conducted the Annual Hockey Tournament for ICSE schools in Bangalore for many decades. The School also hosts a Cadet Platoon, a Boy Scouts Troop, and Debating and Literary Societies for the higher classes.
