Philosophy

Saint Joseph School is committed to excellence in education by providing a comprehensive learning atmosphere for children from preschool through grade eight. "Comprehensive" at Saint Joseph's means a total package of academic, moral, and spiritual guidance. The academic environment at Saint Joseph School instills a respect for education and humanity that helps give children a feeling of accomplishment and self-reliance.

Our History

Saint Joseph School was established in 1863. With the assistance from the "Daughters of the Heart of Mary," a school of 125 girls was opened. Four years later, the school was opened at its present location for children under nine years old. In 1883 a twelve room schoolhouse was built, followed in 1929 by the present 24 classroom building.
