Message from our principal

Dear Future SJMV Family,

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about St. Joseph School in Mountain View. It truly means a lot to us. At St. Joseph, our dedicated faculty, staff, and administration work together to provide every student with a strong academic foundation and faith-filled formation so they can grow into the very best version of themselves. We are deeply committed to ensuring that each child feels welcomed, seen, heard, loved, and supported — every single day. It’s at the heart of who we are that every child learns, grows, and thrives, every day.

We know that guiding your child’s growth is a great responsibility — one that we embrace with care and joy. We’re confident in our ability to do this well because we share a united purpose as a faith community. Every decision we make keeps our students at the center, and we know that our mission is made even stronger through the partnership between parents, teachers, and staff. It truly takes a village to help form the compassionate leaders of tomorrow.

As principal, I feel humbled and blessed each day to walk alongside our families and teachers as we guide our students on their learning journey. Having experienced Catholic education myself, I am grateful to now help cultivate a learning environment that transforms lives — just as mine was transformed when I discovered my own gifts and purpose through my Catholic education.

I pray that as you continue to get to know our school, you see and feel the genuine warmth and strength of our community — and that you feel inspired to say “yes” to building your child’s future with us.

It would be my pleasure to connect with you and answer any questions you may have. My contact information is listed below — please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you again for your interest in St. Joseph School Mountain View. I look forward to welcoming you to our Trojan family!

Blessings,

Mrs. Sandra Romero

Our Graduates

Our graduates continue their academic formation in many of our Catholic High Schools in the San Jose area. With St. Francis High School just down the street, many of our students choose to continue there. The whole child formation at St. Joseph prepares students for the high school admission process. All students are academically, spiritually, socially, and physically prepared for their journey in high school and beyond.
