- Welcome to the St. Joseph School Community!!
  
  We are rooted in the timeless traditions of the Catholic faith and the Church’s liberal arts model for education. We seek to teach each child to know, love, and serve God and neighbor, to discover and live his or her God-given vocation in life, and to strive for excellence in all things, including academics, extracurricular activities, and the development of virtue and leadership.
  
  We live in challenging times, and know that our mission is more important than ever for the Catholic and like-minded families in the Willamette Valley. We seek to create a culture that is safe and inviting, where students are free (and encouraged) to live the words of St. Irenaeus: “The Glory of God is humanity fully alive!”
  
  If this way of being interests you, please stop in for a visit. We can schedule a tour for you to get to know our campus, and give you a sense of this culture we are working to create at St. Joseph’s School.
  
  In God's Grace,
  
  Chris Seibert, Principal

- Mission Statement
  
  St. Joseph Catholic School is a parish ministry that teaches the faith, traditions and culture of the Catholic Church as the cornerstone of a solid academic foundation and virtuous character formation.
- Our Philosophy
  
  Saint Joseph Catholic School accomplishes its mission by assisting parents in their responsibility to guide their children towards eternal happiness with God in heaven. A rich sacramental life is available for students, and parents are always welcome to participate with their children. Our focus is to grow the ability of our students to think, reason, and communicate well in pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful. Our school atmosphere is safe and nurturing, with an emphasis on the importance of being respectful to others, providing service to others, and developing self-discipline.
  
  Students are actively engaged through the use of a variety of instructional methods and emerging technologies that promote collaboration and higher-level thinking skills. We believe each child is a unique gift, who requires loving guidance, encouragement, and individual attention in all the areas of life. We look to our parents to participate in the life of the school to ensure it is a continuation of family life.
