Our Mission

Our mission is to foster the development of the total child in spirit, mind and body. Through Jesus, we encourage the pursuit of excellence in a community of love and respect.

IN FAITH AND UNITY WE LOVE, LEARN AND LEAD
The staff of St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School is committed to this mission:

• by working in partnership with home and school.
• by living our faith everyday, we will be able to provide a safe environment in which all children can feel loved, needed and cared for.
• by providing a Christian education in the Roman Catholic tradition.
• by promoting Christian morals and values.
• by recognizing students as individuals and meeting their unique needs within a Christian learning environment.
• by accepting responsibility for setting and maintaining high standards for the spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, physical and aesthetic development of each student.
• by continuing to achieve the highest possible professional and personal standards while growing in faith.
• by promoting a love for life-long learning in all students.
• by preparing students for the world of tomorrow.  

“The special character of the Catholic School – the underlying reason for it, the reason why Catholic parents should prefer it, is precisely the quality of the religious instruction integrated into the education of the pupils.”

Pope John-Paul II Catechese Tradendae, 1979
