St. Joseph has been the biggest blessing to our family. All of our children have and continue to receive an education filled with academic rigor and support from teachers and staff. The students are welcomed, loved, and encouraged during their years at SJS and long after. The school has a variety of extracurricular activities and sports teams. The Beta and Academic teams consistently earn awards, and there are many opportunities for service in our community. We have a rich tradition of incorporating our Catholic faith into our school and classroom events, and our students are able to attend weekly Mass. St. Joseph has become our family's second home, and we are so blessed to be a part of its community.

We love the small class sizes & the attention that comes with that. We love our teachers, our friends, and the parent community as a whole. I highly recommend St. Joseph.

St. Joseph Interparochial School has been amazing. The teachers and staff are wonderful. We are extremely blessed with being able to send our children to St. Joseph Interparochial School. It was very important to us that our children have strong faith as well as strong education, and I can say that we get both with St. Joseph Interparochial School.

St. Joseph School has truly been a gift to our family. Each of our four children has had an incredible educational experience in their years at SJS. The teachers and staff are second to none, and their dedication to helping our children succeed is unmatched. Each student is met where they are and then encouraged to flourish. Our children have grown, not only academically but spiritually, socially, and personally. The Saints family atmosphere provides support and community, and we are grateful to be a part of it!

St. Joe Interparochial School has been an excellent choice for our family. The teachers are highly skilled and genuinely care about the students' progress. The quality of instruction is impressive, with a curriculum that balances academics and faith well. We've seen significant growth in our son's learning and character development since enrolling here. We're looking forward to enrolling his younger brother next year!

We are thankful everyday for this school and our time there. This was the best place for my kids to thrive to become well adjusted, well mannered kids, that stand out when they go to high school. They encourage parent involvement and it's a great community.

We are proud SJS Saints! The smaller class sizes allow more individualized instruction for students. There are many opportunities for students such as archery, primary girls dance team, basketball, baseball, soccer, Academic Team, BETA club, volleyball, and more. Our middle school offers leadership opportunities to set the bar high for the up and coming elementary students. Faith is our focus with daily prayers, weekly rosary and mass, monthly Eucharistic adoration, and integration of our Catholic identity in all subjects.

My child has been going to St Jo's since 4yr old preschool (going on 9years now). I believe students receive a great education, and faith is incorporated into the curriculum, unlike in a public school. There are specials which include library, music, art, PE and other opportunities are available--choir, sports, BETA club, etc. I only wish that St Jo's went thru 12th grade. It is a great school!

Choosing to send my children to St. Joseph Catholic School has been one of the most rewarding decisions I've ever made. Not only am I thoroughly impressed with the teachers' capabilities and commitment, but the values, morals, and standards of behavior being taught are setting my children up for success in whatever they do. As a Catholic, I deeply appreciate how St. Joseph School reinforces what I strive to teach at home: that faith isn't just something you learn—it's something you live.

St. Joseph has been a wonderful experience for generations of my family and continues to be for my kids now as well. All the teachers and staff are wonderful, and I can't imagine my children going anywhere else. My oldest child is now in the public high school system, and I can say definitively that she is better prepared than most thanks to the education she received at St. Joe.

I am a parent of St. Joseph School. I am a parent for 4 students. I am sending my children over 10 years. My oldest daughter is graduating in 2022. The teachers and staff are kind to our students. I am a minority family. Our children are Language Speaking 2. We try our best to follow the school teaching. We hope our children will understand the lesson. The class is small. The one reason I send my children is a school uniform. I am a uniform lover. I hope my children will have better jobs than us. The school is clean, and the children are loving and happy to go to school. The children are also friendly to each other. I will recommend others go to this school.

We love the smaller classroom sizes at St. Joseph Catholic school. Our plan was not a private school education. After starting in preschool and seeing how hands-on the learning was, we decided to stay on for kindergarten. Our son needed extra help with reading, and the school took care of his needs. As parents we decided this was the best decision for our children. The learning is phenomenal, the teachers are engaged, and learning about God and the role he plays in our lives is building our children into more rounded individuals.
