I am Saint Joseph School
I am an Institution of Excellence - -Excellence of Self and Excellence of Purpose - -to develop those entrusted to me to their fullest potential as spiritual, moral, intellectual, cultural, social, physical beings and then to send them forth to all the places on Earth so as to apply my excellence to the life about them. So I have done for Decades more than a Century and so I shall continue to do.
I am Education - teaching and learning - at once, our greatest gift and our greatest responsibility but more than to provide Knowledge, I develop Wisdom. More than to provide information, I teach young people how to think. I am Religion and Reading, Grammar and Geography, History and Health Science and Poetry, Art and Athletics; always aware of the innocence, imagination, individuality, and integrity of each child who comes to me.
I am the Joy of the Freedom of Youth, the Satisfaction and the Responsibility of Age, the Strength and the Security of Tradition, the Excitement and the Renaissance of Change. I am especially gifted and I willingly accept my responsibility to share my gifts with all and everything on Earth.
I am the presence and the purpose of God in mere but magnificent human service. I am the first steps taken by now thousands of children on their march through time and the world to make and to leave their mark with full intent that, when they have moved on, each time and place and the lives thereof shall be better for their having been there.
