Saint Joseph School depends on parents as an educational partner. Families are asked to remain active in their children’s schooling. All current families are members of our School and Family Association (SFA). The SFA meets monthly and organizes a variety of family and school activities throughout the year.

We require families to complete 30 hours of school service each year. This could mean chaperoning a field trip, assisting with fundraisers, sending in treats for a class party, serving lunch in the cafeteria, etc. There are many opportunities throughout the year available to families to complete these hours. The SFA is a wonderful way to discover the upcoming volunteer opportunities and make new friends.

Saint Joseph School is member of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston Department of Catholic Schools. We are governed by our local parish priest, the Diocesan Superintendent, and ultimately the Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.

In addition to our governing bodies, we have a Catholic School Advisory Council which advises our Principal and Pastor on school matters. This Advisory Council meets quarterly and consists of members from the within and outside the school and parish communities.
