ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
God calls us by name. Through an ever-deepening relationship with Christ, our mission is to become who He made us to be by growing in character, loving our neighbor, and excelling in academics.
“God calls us by name. …”
Our mission begins with God, not with us. He is always the first mover, and our role is to respond to His invitation, to His love, and to His call. Every person at St. Joseph School — student, staff member, and parent — is here not by accident but because God has called us here.
“…Through an ever-deepening relationship with Christ, our mission is to become who He made us to be…”Each of us has a unique identity carefully crafted by our Creator. All are called to holiness, but each is called in a unique way — some are beautiful writers, others math whizzes, others artists, others athletes, others scientists, or musicians, and mixtures of all of these in as many different ways as there are people. Through getting to know Christ who fashioned us, we seek to cultivate our true self and realize our potential, which is found in the fullness of Catholic teaching, which is why we teach in conformity to the Magisterium of the Church.
“…by growing in character, loving our neighbor, and excelling in academics.”We want for our students and ourselves to become more and more conformed to Christ — in our habits, in our interpersonal relations, and in our hearts and minds. Faith is infused in every part of our school life, and this results in personal growth, compassionate interaction, and academic excellence.
