St. Joseph Catholic School Mission Statement
St. Joseph Catholic School — a Christ-centered community dedicated to empowering students to learn, serve, lead, and succeed.
School Philosophy
St. Joseph Catholic School is an integrated ministry that provides our students with a solid religious and academic foundation. We support parents in their role as primary educators of their children. We strive to fully develop each individual, whose daily needs will be met through right choices, self-discipline, and respect for others. We work to create an environment in which the individual can succeed in reaching his/her potential in order to give back to the community. As facilitators of Catholic education, we provide a safe, nurturing, child-centered faith community.
