You Belong
When you walk in, you’ll know everybody is working under the same purpose and helping build you into a better person.
NOAH WATTS (’23)Our campus is a dynamic hub that brings together students from 37 different zip codes, 24 cities, and six counties, creating a truly multicultural and socioeconomically diverse community. This rich tapestry of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives fosters an environment where students learn not only from textbooks but from each other’s unique journeys.
To assist with creating a culture of belonging, we have developed the Saint Joseph’s Way, an educational approach that believes Christ is actively present and able to fulfill the spiritual needs of our students. We begin by asking Christ to reveal Himself within the school and then strive to recognize signs of His presence within the community.

HOUSE PROGRAM

St. Joseph’s School Prayer
Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin and Foster-Father of Jesus Christ; obtain for me and all the members of my family, a pure, humble, and charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the Divine Will.
Be my guide and model throughout life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
Help us, Saint Joseph, in our earthly strife, to fulfill our responsibilities and ever to lead a pure and sinless life.
AMEN.
