"We choose to send our children to St. Joseph’s Catholic School because it is a wonderful community of caring, like-minded people who share our faith and values. We feel it is an important long term investment in our children’s future to be in a learning environment where faith is the center, expectations are high and there is emphasis on formation of the whole child."
St. Joseph's Catholic School is a dynamic, faith-filled community where each child is challenged to excel and grow in mind, body, and spirit as an image of God in our world.
Foster a Christian environment of family and friendship.
Educate children in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, in the Catholic tradition.
Prepare children for leadership in Church and society through a sound and challenging basic academic curriculum.
Enable each child to recognize his or her self-worth.
Encourage each child to internalize the values of self-discipline, mutual respect, personal morality, social justice, and right stewardship of the earth.
Nurture each individual’s natural desire to learn.
A capital campaign was begun in 1958 by Monsignor Skeehan to build a school at St. Joseph's Parish in Kennewick. This vision for Catholic education in Kennewick is at the heart of the mission of the Church and the great commission of Jesus who said “Go forth and make disciples of all nations.” At its original founding, in the 1964-65 school year, the school was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
St. Joseph’s Catholic School isn’t just about excellence in academics. It’s being free to live, learn and grow in our Catholic faith, in order to fully become all God calls us to be. We are confident that in taking these steps towards providing a “complete” education, aimed at developing strong intellectual, ethical and spiritual leaders, we are making a difference not only in the lives of our children but also in our world in which we live- and in the life to come."
