Carrying out the Mission of St. Joseph School 

At St. Joseph School, our faith is the foundation of all learning. Guided by our school motto, "Seek first the Kingdom of God," students participate in faith-based projects throughout the year—growing spiritually while serving others and living out the values of our Catholic tradition.

Fostering a Spirit of Service

St. Joseph School builds a nurturing community through demonstration of Catholic values and implementation of an academically rigorous and spiritually rich curriculum. St. Joseph students learn, in a safe and disciplined environment, to care for themselves and others and to accept responsibility for making a just and loving society through the generous use of their personal talents and gifts. 

 

Disciplined Learning Environment 

St. Joseph School is a cell phone-free campus during school hours to support a more focused, engaging, and productive learning environment. This policy complements our disciplined, academically rigorous program designed to help every student succeed.
