MISSION
The mission of St. Joseph's Regional Catholic
School is to cooperate with families, who are the primary
educators, in forming the whole child in the Christian faith. With
Christ and his teachings as our foundation, we create an
environment of prayer (ora), study (stude), work (labora) and play
(lude) providing each child with the opportunity to grow in all
areas of his or her life.
PRINCIPAL'S STATEMENT
"Continuing a Tradition of Excellence in Academics"
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1: 20-21)
Just as St. Joseph relied so heavily upon faith in God’s will in forming the Holy Family, we of St. Joseph’s
Regional Catholic School rely upon the faith of our families, students, and staff members in forming the entire person of each student. This faith-filled cooperation between parents, teachers, and children is crucial in maintaining our successful track record in academic excellence and in producing well-rounded students who go on to succeed in high school and college and eventually make a positive impact on society. St. Joseph’s
Regional Catholic School fosters an education that prepares intelligent young people to develop a firm understanding of Church teachings and an enduring participation in the sacramental life of the Roman Catholic Church.
The St. Joseph’s recipe for academic success is a mixture of devoted, qualified educators who earnestly believe in their vocation as Catholic school teachers blended with a strong, standards-based curriculum further enhanced by an exemplary fine arts program consisting of music, art, and band. Our self-motivated staff continually seeks professional development opportunities and works diligently to stay current with pedagogical practices and procedures.
We thank you for choosing St. Joseph’s Regional Catholic School and we welcome you to a year that holds many promising innovations in your child’s life. Look forward to a new, improved St. Joseph’s
Regional Catholic School website, improvements in technology, and more importantly, the continued faith formation of your child. And remember, the St. Joseph’s
Regional Catholic School community relies on the parents to provide the primary education, especially to teach our students how to be responsible family members. We pray that you look to the Holy Family as an example of faith, hope, and love.
God Bless,
