At St. Joseph Catholic School, each and every day we are training students to be missionary disciples, and learning to recognize God in our lives and in the world around us,

full of HOPE for the future.

Mission:

St. Joseph Catholic School provides students with a nurturing and prayerful learning environment committed to academic excellence, training missionary disciples to seek virtue, wisdom, and truth, in partnership with a community of active and faithful families.

Vision:

Catholic schools in the Diocese of Fort Worth are committed to opening the doors so that our students can reach further than the walls that would otherwise enclose them and therefore are able to recognize and cherish the eternal and transcendental goods of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

Motto:

Teaching the Mind...Nourishing the Soul

What a day! Our Knights have had such a great time with one another at this year's Field Day. The rain could not stop us from spending time in fun and laughter with our homerooms. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a successful event for our students. I am certain everyone will sleep well tonight. Have a great weekend, SJCS Community!

In Christ's service,

Diane Price, Ed.L.
