St. Joseph School strives to create, with parents, a distinctive Christian educational environment that builds and nourishes a community of faith, helps students relate the word of Christ to their daily lives, and acquire skills and values for effective service to others.
As Catholic School Educators, we believe our Catholic School is not only a school, but a community of faith; we believe those entrusted to us are not only students, but children of God; we believe we are not only educators, but Ministers of the Gospel; we believe the values we teach are not only character development, but a call to Holiness; we believe our courses of study are not only academic pursuits, but a search for Truth; we believe the purpose of education is not only for personal gain and the development of society, but for the transformation of the world.
