I want to first of all mention that St. Joseph school is a remarkable school. Both my husband and myself went to Catholic grade school and I also went to Catholic High School, so I think I have a pretty good perspective when it comes to Catholic education. St. Joseph by far exceeded my expectations.

I just wish I could let more people know what they are missing out on when they don't think of this school when they begin to enroll their children this Spring.

In addition to getting to know the students while I subbed, I got a sense of how structured and well-planned the teachers are. The students followed their daily routines so well in spite of having a sub. The first graders knew over half of the state capitals and that was only halfway through the school year.
