You Belong
My favorite thing about Saint Joseph’s is the small community, and the connections that are easily made with teachers and other students.

AS YOU STEP INTO SAINT JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC SCHOOL, YOU ARE ENTERING A PLACE WHERE EACH STUDENT’S
uniqueness IS CELEBRATED, excellence IS EXPECTED, & growth IS NURTURED.
Saint Joseph’s Catholic School commits to an educational mission that invites students and families from all backgrounds into a life-changing relationship with Christ. We recognize and are inspired by the belief that God created all people with infinite dignity and worth. Saint Joseph’s welcomes all students as equally esteemed members of our community, and affirms the dignity of every human being by rejecting all forms of prejudice, racism, sexism and classism in all their manifestations. We do this not just as goals for our school but as critical components of our Catholic identity and mission.
HOUSE PROGRAM
The student body is divided into four Houses that come together for activities, competition, and camaraderie. Households promote the school’s mission by providing greater care to all students as individuals while strengthening a sense of community.
WE HAVE CRAFTED OUR
Sixth Grade Academy
TO SEAMLESSLY GUIDE STUDENTS THROUGH THE CRITICAL TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE SCHOOL.
The sixth grade represents a pivotal moment in your child’s educational journey, and our Academy is meticulously designed to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Here, your child will thrive in a purposefully crafted environment, led by passionate and devoted educators who are committed to fostering a nurturing atmosphere that ignites your child’s passion for learning.
Discover the exceptional educational opportunity at our middle school, where we proudly offer single-gender classroom instruction. Extensive educational research unequivocally demonstrates that embracing the timehonored Catholic tradition of separating boys and girls during the middle school years brings forth remarkable academic, formative, and social benefits.

AT SAINT JOSEPH’S
Faith Formation
IS THE HEART OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.
The most important questions in life cannot be answered by science, technology, money, or success. Our “ultimate questions” can only be asked and answered in relationships and faith.
At Saint Joseph’s, we see all education as a journey toward God—guided by faith, reason, and community:
Every child longs for God, whether they know it or not. We help them recognize and respond to that desire.
We teach students to see the world sacramentally, as full of signs that lead us to Him.
Our ultimate goal is friendship with Christ, discovered freely within the life of the Church.
We walk with each student personally, because real formation happens in community.

Saint Joseph’s School Prayer
Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin and Foster-Father of Jesus Christ; obtain for me and all the members of my family, a pure, humble, and charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the Divine Will.
Be my guide and model throughout life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
Help us, Saint Joseph, in our earthly strife, to fulfill our responsibilities and ever to lead a pure and sinless life.
AMEN.
Encountering Christ. Inspiring Excellence. Embracing Community.
