Welcome!

Dear Parents, Students, and Prospective Families,

Since its founding in 1948 by the Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan, Saint Joseph Catholic School has strived to provide its students with the best Catholic education possible.  Our School is rich in tradition and community spirit. Today our School continues to thrive and grow under the direction of its lay faculty and administration.  We are proud of our past and ready for the future.

Our core curriculum includes instruction in religion, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, computer science,  physical education, health, music and art.  Lower grades, Kindergarten through Grade 4, are self-contained. The middle school/junior high program in Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 is departmentalized with specialist teachers offering expertise in given subject areas. Saint Joseph Catholic School is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association.

We provide opportunities for community service, student leadership and extracurricular activities to help ensure that Saint Joseph Catholic School students are well rounded, highly capable individuals.

We pride ourselves on our vibrant family atmosphere, ethnically diverse student body, high academic standards and strong commitment to Catholic faith formation.  I invite you to consider Saint Joseph Catholic School for your son or daughter.
