School History
Overview
St. Joseph School is a Catholic community dedicated to serving students and parishioners.
Our purpose is the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social development of our students in a Christian value-based environment.
The school strives to achieve educational excellence through school-home partnerships which recognize parents as their children's first and most influential teachers.
The goal is that our students are confident, life long learner who are prepared in daily life and are prepared for future educational and career endeavors and for lives of stewardship.
The philosophy of education in Sacred Heart Schools has grown from the deep root of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat's educational vision. The personal, well-rounded growth of each child is directed through an integrated curriculum that is both timely and timeless.
St. Madeleine Sophie regarded, and we still regard, education as an authentic human development preparatory to a full, mature life. Academy of the Sacred Heart students learn to base their conviction solidly on Christian values in order to effect social transformation and meaningful growth.
