| 5 7/24/2015 The teachers at Saint Joseph School prepare my kids for the future and provide things that a public school can not. Their teaching style challenges my kids to reach beyond their potential academically, socially and morally. Excellent communication, fun events and a caring community add to my experience here. My kids want to go to school and have a love for learning! Join us as we soar to our 100th year!!! - Posted by Parent - mary_ |
