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

Diane Price, Ed. L.

Principal

Thank you, Mrs. Lara's class, for reminding us that we are all special in God's eyes and we are to love one another and truly celebrate our differences.

“Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul.

Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you.

Do not think that He is leaving you alone,

for that would be to wrong Him.”

-St. John of The Cross

And to all the students who prepared cards of thanks for our honorees. May God always protect our first responders.

Thank you to these four students for serving the Lord and their community at Mass this week! You are leading others through your example.

Mrs. Rusnak's second grade class did an awesome job with their morning recitation! They even shared several poem recitations with me. I think they plan to share them with the school community at our next prayer service. Well done, Knights!

These 8th grade volleyball Knights could not resist such an awesome photo opportunity! Represent SJCS with pride, Knights! God goes with you.
