ABOUT

Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic School!

Our School

St. Joseph Parish plant is a profound tribute to the deep faith and hard work of Father Walter A. Martin and his generous parishioners. In December, 1955, the work, which would result in this beautiful ten-acre plant, officially began. The first Mass was celebrated in the partially completed parish hall on Easter Sunday, 1956.

Our Mission

St. Joseph Catholic School, serving as a ministry of St. Joseph Catholic Parish, is dedicated to celebrating and educating the whole child as a Disciple of Christ, a Tenacious Scholar, and a 21st Century Learner.

Our students are Disciples of Christ. We seek to immerse our students in a Christ-centered environment, so they may trust in and cooperate with God’s grace in their lives.

Our students are Tenacious Scholars. Recognizing parents as the primary educators of their children, we work collaboratively to provide a rigorous curriculum that motivates students toward an intrinsic love of learning.

Our students are 21st Century Learners. We empower our students to use the gifts that God has given them to live happy, integrated lives in our diverse and technological world.

Our Philosophy

With Christ as our teacher, St. Joseph Catholic School provides an environment of discipleship, scholarship, and service. Our administration, faculty, staff, parish community, parents, and students are active participants in the mission of the Catholic Church, deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ and integrating the Gospel values into our daily lives.
