Dear Prospective Members of the St. Joseph Family,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to St. Joseph Catholic School. Our mission is to teach our students to know, love, and serve God through academic pursuits, spiritual development, and community service. We believe that what is accomplished in a Catholic school is at the heart of the Church and her mission to teach the Gospel to all nations. Without constant reference to the Gospel and a frequent encounter with Christ, our school loses its purpose.

Parents give many reasons why they choose Catholic schools. According to the latest research, the top three reasons are quality religious education, safe environment, and quality academic instruction. Students at St. Joseph Catholic School experience a learning environment where all aspects of the school day are accentuated by the light of Faith. Academically, students do not just learn the skills needed to function in society—they learn to be somebody. Moreover, St. Joseph students can pursue their studies in security, protected by a 24-hour surveillance system.
Finally, students and their families choose St. Joseph Catholic School for the sense of community and camaraderie created by the superb faculty and the supportive families of the school. Pre-kindergarten through fifth grades are offered, and after-school supervision is available.

Starting on April 1, applications for new enrollees to St. Joseph’s for the 2010-2011 school year will be accepted. Each student must register by filling out the application and submitting the $75 registration fee. We must have, at the time of registration, copies of the enrolling student’s birth certificate, immunization record, and Sacramental certificates if Catholic. All applications received before April 1 will receive equal priority on the waiting list, according to the school’s policies.
I invite your family to start your journey with us and experience what can be found nowhere else but St. Joseph Catholic School.

Grace and peace,

Wade A. Laffey
Principal
