It gives me great joy to welcome you to the school community of St. Joseph Catholic School and to our official website.

Since 1943, and building upon the charisma of the Sisters of Mercy who first staffed the school, we have served God’s people in the Catholic Community of our two parishes, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Joseph, Auburn California. We continue today to provide a quality Catholic education to each and every student.

St. Joseph Catholic School provides an education that emphasizes academic excellence and character development in a faith-based environment, surrounded by a highly supportive, family-centered community.

Our dynamic, faith-based environment for our students is designed to promote the highest level of engagement and educational opportunities, while at the same time instilling in them Catholic Christian values. Through a spirit of community and cooperation we strive to prepare our students for future success in life. Students learn to live the Catholic Virtues through our Education in Virtue program.

I hope that your visit to our website will be informative and enjoyable. I also invite you to visit our campus to experience academic excellence, and our faith-filled learning environment that promotes our core values and actions as disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are proud of our students, our programs, and the entire school community!

Come and experience St. Joseph Catholic School - Academic Excellence and Character Development in a Faith-Based Environment!
