MISSION
The Mission of St. Joseph Catholic School is to develop the whole child through an excellent education that is rooted in gospel values and the traditions of the Catholic Church. We strive to work in partnership with committed families and parishes of North Central Washington to form effective servant leaders and intentional disciples of Christ.
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of St. Joseph Catholic School is consistent with the Catholic tradition of the gospel message. St. Joseph Catholic School is a community whose members help each other grow spiritually, intellectually, and socially in a caring atmosphere. The school acts in partnership with the parents as the first and primary educators of the children. Each child is treated with the dignity and importance bestowed upon him/her by our Creator. While each child is valued as an individual, students are also taught the importance of being responsible, productive, caring members of the broader community.
