St. Joseph’s Catholic School strives to build a strong academic foundation beginning with our preschool program. Our preschool offers children age two through four with a loving environment where they can learn, grow, and play. During the elementary school years, SJS continues to foster learning in a diverse environment that embraces a collaborative approach with parents. Students are taught in a variety of learning models where they are encouraged to be creative thinkers, problem solvers, and active leaders. St. Joseph’s Catholic School provides a seamless transition to Mount de Sales Academy where the Sisters of Mercy legacy continues with the right balance of academic rigor, faith-enriching programs, and extracurricular activities.
Preparing students to be future leaders is the signature of a St. Joseph’s education.

Some student favorites from this summer included:

From solving fraction challenges to building reading confidence, our students have been learning, laughing, and growing every step of the way. We’re so proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see all they’ve accomplished this fall!

The end game of education is holiness. It is sainthood." — Fr. Johnson💙✝️
Our SJS faculty and staff gathered together for a wonderful Staff Retreat as we prepared our hearts and minds for the new school year, which begins tomorrow.💙🕊
We began the day by celebrating Mass together, followed by an inspiring presentation from Fr. Johnson, who spoke about the incredible responsibility of Catholic education. He reminded us that as educators, we are to nurture both the minds and hearts of our Knights, leading them in faith and striving each day to be more like Christ as they look up to us and learn from our example. We have the job of bringing children "from wonder to wisdom," said Fr. Johnson—"from joy to hope, to the truth that sets them free."
He also reminded us that children are close to the heart of the Lord and encouraged us to let our students inspire wonder in us just as much as we inspire it in them.✝️
What an uplifting day—we are so incredibly grateful to those who generously provided breakfast and lunch for our faculty and staff:
-Katie Berg (SJS alumna and current parent), Katie Berg Law, LLC, Real Estate Closing Attorney
-Jessica Fletcher (friend of SJS), owner of Oglethorpe Realty Company, Residential, Land & Commercial Realtor
-Heather Moody (former SJS employee), Oglethorpe Realty Company, Residential, Land & Commercial Realtor
Thank you for investing in our faculty and staff as we prepare to welcome our students back for another incredible year at St. Joseph's. We are blessed by such a supportive school community!🙏🕊
