SJSD Mission:
Educating Each Child for Sucess

A commitment to excellence is evident in the belief that each student is valued and can learn. Excellence is embodied in the perseverance of faculty, staff, and administration to assure success for each student. We believe that children and youth flourish when teachers set high expectations and deliver a rigorous curriculum. We embrace continuous learning through professional development of faculty and staff. Teaching and learning are the cornerstones of our commitment to excellence.

Culture of Collaboration

Collaboration is evident through numerous partnerships throughout the community. Engaging the community is essential as we move forward. We believe that parents are critically important partners. We demonstrate that all faculty and staff members contribute to the education of our students. We know it takes a team-approach to provide our students with a strong foundation for educational success today and in the future.

Integrity of Actions

Integrity is evident in our commitment to the children and youth of the St. Joseph community. Our district—administration, faculty, and staff—must lead by example. We must act ethically and treat students, parents, employees, and patrons fairly. We are committed to making decisions based on doing what is right and what is best for students. We accept the responsibility of educating children and youth in St. Joseph.
