A Note from Mrs. Overmann

As well as administrator duties, I also teach grades 4, 5, and 6. I have been at St. Joseph for seven years. I have a child currently enrolled in St. Joseph School and will have another child enrolled next fall. As a parent and a teacher, I am grateful that we have this school in our midst. We strive to make your child’s education a top priority.

St. Joseph School has been in existence since 1882. We offer a Christ-centered curriculum which integrates faith and morals into our teaching. Each student is treated as a special gift from God, and we focus on maximizing your child’s learning capacity.

Our school is open to all students regardless of religious affiliation, from preschool through sixth grade. We are starting our enrollment process for the 2013-14 school year, and we cordially invite your child to join us. Students may also be enrolled for the current school year. Our preschool program enrolls children for all day or part day sessions.

The Archdiocese of St. Louis offers financial aid for new students through the “Alive in Christ” scholarships.

Our school is open to all students from Pre-k to grade 6.

Please consider the path we offer for your child’s education.

God Bless,

Amanda Overmann-Administrator
