FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

St. Joseph operates as a stewardship school. We chose the stewardship model for several reasons:

1. To more clearly affirm that the school is a mission or ministry of the entire parish of St. Joseph.
2. To strengthen our school community so that together we can face the challenges that are ever-present: the increasing cost to educate a child, rising technology costs, changing academic standards, and guiding our children through their youth in a time where they have access to anything and everything.
3. To ensure that a Catholic education is available to all who desire it.
4. To help our parish families realize some significant tax advantages.
Financial Assistance is available.
