Strong Academics in the Catholic Tradition

St. Joseph School is fully accredited by the Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association, Member of the National Federation of Nonpublic State Accrediting Association.  

Since 1897, St. Joseph Catholic School has strived to provide an atmosphere of faith, academics, and service to prepare our youth for their future.  Fr. James J. Toomey began this mission.  The first classes were taught in the Church sacristy.  

Our current building was dedicated in October 1960.  Additions were completed in 1979 and 1981.  In 2014, the gym floor and front entrance were renovated.  Over one hundred classes have graduated from St. Joseph School and made their mark in the community and beyond.

St. Joseph School has been recognized as a Virtue-Based Restorative Disciple School by the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The focus of this program is the impact of poor decisions on others and how this affects the peaceful learning environment we want as part of the Body of Christ. The process begins and ends with prayer as well as identifying the harm done and the missing virtues.  The process includes taking the necessary steps to restore the relationship and/or repair the harm.  This program has resulted in a positive, virtuous learning environment.
