St. Joseph Catholic School

Mission

We, at St. Joseph Catholic School, acknowledging parents as the primary educators, are dedicated to guiding students toward a life centered in Jesus Christ. St. Joseph Catholic School assists students in achieving Christian maturity, enabling them to become more responsible for their own lives and more caring of others. We, therefore, in partnership with the parents and as facilitators of learning, commit ourselves to educating the whole child in an environment where spiritual growth, academic excellence and an appreciation of multicultural values are fostered. Psychological, social, emotional and physical growth support and augment our commitment to educating the whole child. Teaching is based on the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church that aims to instill respect, integrity, social justice and the acceptance of everyone in the community. To this end St. Joseph Catholic School seeks to foster and deepen relationships among families, the parish and the global community.
