School Notes
Our Philosophy
Rooted in the Dominican spirit and a tradition of excellence, St.
Joseph School recognizes students as learners, parents as primary
educators, and teachers as facilitators of learning. The
school is committed to instilling Gospel values and providing a
nurturing, faith-filled environment that:
strengthens the individual`s self-worth
appreciates the diversity of all peoples
encourages caring interdependence, developing responsible
members of family, parish, and local /global communities
Dedicated to fostering each student`s relationship with God and
others, the educational program is directed toward the growth of
the whole child: spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and
psychological.
Our Mission
