The primary purpose of the existence of St. Joseph Catholic School is to help facilitate the parents in providing a Christian faith-community for their children.
The school strives to maintain academic excellence in all areas while it upholds an atmosphere centered in the person of Christ and His teachings.
The administrator and faculty of St. Joseph Parish School believe that each child is a unique individual who learns most effectively through the integration of the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and physical aspects of development.
Through the combined efforts of the Church, the school and the home, each child will have the opportunity to be prepared for future challenges.
This preparation will lead to personal success and fulfillment as a mature Christian, aware of basic principles and prepared to accept adult responsibility.
St. Joseph's staff is dedicated to educating the whole child: emotional, cognitive, social, creative, physical and spiritual.
