We know that Our Heavenly Father has a plan for your children. The collaborative work between parents and teachers is sure to be seen when the children are ready for their life's work. The children can say with enthusiastic readiness as Samuel did, "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening" (Samuel 3:10) in the tradition of excellence which is the hallmark of a Catholic education.
Students are the heart and soul of St. Joseph the Worker and we couldn't be more proud of how they represent our school, their families and most importantly, Jesus. We hear from many that having a school with a culture of honesty, kindness, respect and personal responsibility makes our school a safe and fun place for the students to learn. There are a variety of ways that students interact with each other from prayer partners and academics, to sports and art and music. There truly is something for everyone at St. Joseph the Worker!
