Saint Joseph Catholic School

Clayton Cobb, St. Joseph Catholic School Principal

AS ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC SCHOOL FONDLY SAYS GOODBYE TO MONSIGNOR LONG AND FATHER DUNCAN, WE ARE JOYFUL IN ANTICIPATION OF OUR NEW PASTORAL LEADERSHIP - FATHER JERRY DAIGLE AND FATHER GABRIEL CISNEROS CAMPOS. It is easy to see they share the same sentiment towards Catholic education as their predecessors. What a blessing it is to have such strong clergy support for Catholic education. It is because of this support, in union with that of our home parish, that St. Joseph Catholic School will continue to succeed as part of this family of families.

Being a faith-filled school that upholds family values and a way of life in line with Church teaching is truly what makes our school special. While under the administration team’s fifth year - Clayton Cobb, principal, and Katherine Suckle, assistant principal - we continue to grow (over 320 students for the upcoming school year), it remains vital to stay true to our tradition, remaining a school that is a special place for all. Our motto is, “Academic Excellence Surrounded by Faith.” We desire that our families who entrust their children to us see that the call to form the entire person happens here. It is our responsibility to partner with parents so that each child is formed in virtue and academically prepared for success at this level of education and the next.

St. Joseph Catholic School has long provided families with a sense of belonging to a greater family. Our 40 new families this year will find that our teachers, support staff, and administration all provide the love and support needed for our students to become responsible members within their families, the Church, and the community in which we live. This begins at an early age by providing the way for each student to hear and respond to the call to serve God and one another in kindness. Such virtues are taught each day for the sake of living out this Gospel message.

While our enrollment has increased, registration for the upcoming school year is still open. You can register by calling the school office at (318) 865-3585, or by visiting our website at www.sjsfalcons.org. Please pray for another wonderful year as we begin on August 9th, right here in the heart of the Shreveport-Bossier community. It’s a great time to be a Falcon!
