St. Joseph School Mission  Statement            

St. Joseph School as a parish elementary school exists as a Faith Community where parents, teachers, students, and the entire parish community work together to provide a total Catholic education for its youth. We believe that our ultimate goal is to help prepare each child spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically to meet tomorrow's challenges and eternal life in the world to come. It is our aim to create a Christian Community in which a sense of values and proper attitudes are fostered, human dignity and personal worth are nourished, discipline and self-direction are developed, and various backgrounds, cultures and talents are appreciated in a spirit of mutual understanding, freedom, and love.

Community Partnership

This school recognizes its dependence upon the family to provide an environment in which Christian ideals are instilled; the Church to provide a community in which the spiritual and sacramental life is present and active; the civic community to provide the freedom and support necessary for the school to pursue its goals; and the educator to be fair and sensitive toward others' feelings, to convey a Christian attitude, and to work in partnership with the parents.

Student Individuality

We recognize the individuality and potential of each child; therefore, our curriculum and learning environment are flexible and aim to meet the needs of each individual student. We commit ourselves to teach all areas of the curriculum as directed by the State of Kentucky and the Diocese of Covington. We emphasize religious education that is directed toward total Christian living. We believe that students learn not only from the curriculum but also from many other learning experiences and activities that enrich the student's full development. St. Joseph School, as an integral part of the wider parish community, contributes to spreading the Gospel message, building community, and serving God and others.

The faculty and administration will work with parents to achieve the above goals.

Teach me, O Lord, your way that I may walk in your truth...  

~ Psalms 86:11
