Welcome!
Welcome, and thank you for visiting St. Joseph Catholic School. Like all parents, your search for your child's education is a top priority. Let us tell you about our great staff, student opportunities and blessed community. St. Joseph Catholic School and Parish is known for being small but, mighty! We're deep with tradition and making education the forefront of our mission, while at the same time, implementing Catholic values.
To give you a quick overview of our campus, St. Joseph Catholic School offers and provides curriculum which most other schools, charge extra to provide. For example (as a requirement), students study spanish, learn art and music, and utilize technology within their academics.
In Spanish classes and lessons, kids learn how to speak, read, and write Spanish. As well as learn about Spanish cultures from Mexico, Central America, South America and Europe. Spanish also includes recreational activities like making tortillas and guacamole in class.
Other classes available at St. Joseph Catholic School which are offered (at no additional expense): Art and Music/Drama. Each year St. Joseph hosts an annual Art Show and student artwork is placed on exhibit. In the spring, students and staff arrange, choreograph and perform a play with complete wardrobe, lighting and stage setting. And what's a school without a talent show? Our students and faculty never fall short of entertaining with good talent.
Technology is part of class curiculum for all grades. Grades K-8 utilize adaptive programs through blended learning via our 1:1 Chromebook. The technology introduced and learned in classrooms, is the same technology which our students will use in High School, College and the current technology used in the workplace and at home. The school infrastructure is equipped and upgraded to keep up with technological demand. St. Joseph School also has a STEM program where students can learn to code, build, and integrade technology with science engineering and math. Technology doesn't just live on computers - it actually comes to life!
As far as community, we have great participation with local business, neighbors and our St. Joseph Parish. We have Trunk or Treat, annual golf tournament, Christmas Tree Lighting, and looking to add more fun events this school year. Our philosophy is "All are welcome" and we do a good job of practicing this theme.
