About St. Joseph Catholic School

Message from the Principal,

Michelle Hombs St. Joseph Catholic School Principal — **Michelle Hombs**
St. Joseph Catholic School Principal

Welcome to St. Joseph School. Opening in 1885, our small but mighty school is rich in the traditions of faith, learning, and community. I am grateful to be a part of this school through the many different roles of parishioner, student, alumni, teacher and now principal.

The strong support and commitment of the school families, parish and community gives evidence that our school is loved. We, the staff, parents, and parish, work diligently to provide our students opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and physically to reach their full potential.

The elementary years are critical for laying the foundation and in the development of the values, skills, and morals necessary for life. That is why we strive daily to provide a quality Catholic education for our students.

This website has been developed to enable everyone to become familiar with our school, its policies, and procedures. I encourage you to reach out and learn how special St. Joseph School really is.

Sincerely,
Michelle Hombs
Principal
