I could not have imagined a better school for my child. Above the amazing academics and STEM designation, the small town family atmosphere and variety of extracurriculars- St. Joseph School truly cares. They go above and beyond and love your children like their own. Every year provides more and more reason why I`m so grateful to God for allowing us to have this beautiful gem of a school in our small corner of the world. I could never sing enough praises.
