St. Rose High School is a co-educational four-year Catholic high school in Belmar, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The school operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton.[5] The school was founded in 1923 by the Parish of St. Rose and the Sisters of Saint Joseph.[6]

As of the 2013–14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 489 students and 36.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.4:1.[1]

St. Rose High School has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1985.[3]

Athletics

The St. Rose High School Purple Roses[2] compete in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore.[7] All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[8]

The girls basketball team won the Parochial South B state sectional championship in 2000 with a 66-40 win over Sacred Heart High School in the tournament final.[9] The 2004 won the South B state sectional title with a 47–36 win against Holy Spirit High School in the tournament final.[10]

The 2002 boys basketball team won the Parochial South B state sectional championship with a 67-46 win over Wildwood Catholic High School in the tournament final.[11] The 2004 team repeated the victory in the South Parochial B state sectionals, taking the title with a 58–46 win over Wildwood Catholic.[12]

The boys won the Non-Public Group B title in 1949 and 1962 (over Immaculate Conception High School of Montclair), in 1963 (vs. Phillipsburg Catholic High School) and in both 1966 and 1977 (against Our Lady of the Valley of Orange). The girls basketball team won the Non-Public Group A title in 1983 (over Paramus Catholic High School), won the Group II state championship in 1976 (against Lyndhurst High School) and 1977 (vs. Union Catholic Regional High School) and the Group B titles in 1993 (against DePaul Catholic High School of Wayne) and in 1998 and 2000 (vs. Marist High School of Bayonne in both years).[13]

The greatest boys player in school history is Bob Verga, a prolific scorer at both St. Rose and Duke University who went on to play in the now-defunct ABA and hooked on with at least one NBA team post-merger. He set a state record with 1,033 points scored during his senior year at St. Rose and led his team to consecutive state championship in 1962, when he scored the winning points in a game against Phillipsburg Catholic High School despite being triple teamed, and again in his senior year in 1963.[14]

In 2002, the boys soccer team took the South Parochial B state sectional championship with a 5-0 win against Wildwood Catholic High School.[15]

The tennis team won the 2000 South B sectional state championship with a 4–1 win against Sacred Heart High School.[16]

The 2005 baseball team won the South Jersey Non-Public B state sectional title with a 10–3 win over St. Joseph High School of Hammonton, New Jersey, with nine of the runs coming with two outs in the sixth inning.[17] The 2005 team won the Non-Public B State Championship over Morristown-Beard School by a score of 4–0, with pitcher Anthony Ranaudo throwing a complete game two-hitter and hitting a first inning three-run home run that gave St. Rose all the runs it needed.[18][19]

The boys cross country team was the subject of the 2007 book God on the Starting Line: The Triumph of a Catholic School Running Team and Its Jewish Coach by Marc Bloom.[20]
