Our Mission

The Mission of St. Joseph Catholic School is to nurture the spiritual and academic growth of our students by challenging them to embrace the Gospel message, to achieve full academic potential, and, as Catholic Christian citizens, to make a difference in our school, our community and our world.

Tour Our School

Catholic school tours offer a unique opportunity for families to experience firsthand the values and environment that define a faith-based education. During the tour, visitors can explore the classrooms, meet dedicated teachers, and observe students engaged in their studies. Families will gain insight into the school’s commitment to academic excellence, spiritual growth, and a supportive community. These tours provide a chance to ask questions, understand the curriculum, and see how the school fosters a strong moral foundation while preparing students for future success in both academics and life.

Core Beliefs

The philosophy of Catholic Education formulated by the Diocese of Harrisburg is the base upon which our own school philosophy rests.

We, as educators, seek to make the first priority of our Catholic education program the development of a relationship with Jesus Christ and a commitment to Christian living. Strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit, this commitment should, in turn, lead to the creation of a Christian environment where the dignity and diversity of each individual is nurtured and appreciated.

The faculty of St. Joseph Catholic School views each student as a unique individual created and redeemed by God with the potential for becoming a more responsible Christian who, by witnessing the values of our faith, will promote peace and justice in today’s society.

In cooperation with each student’s family, Church, and community, we strive to offer an academic program which will promote life-long learning, enabling  our students to develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and aesthetically.

Pupil Care

At St. Joseph Catholic School, we are committed to the care and development of every student in mind, body, and spirit. Guided by Catholic values, our team provides personalized support to help each child grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually. We create a nurturing, faith-filled environment where students thrive and are empowered to reach their full potential.
