OUR HISTORY

St. Joseph Catholic School opened its doors in 1949. The Precious Blood Sisters were our first teachers, ministering 23 years. In 1971, the Sisters of the Congregation of the Humility of Mary began their ministry to students, which continued for the next 18 years. Today, we are extremely proud of our highly dedicated, spiritual, and talented teaching staff.

Building on the foundation of Catholic values established in the home, St. Joseph Catholic School provides the students the opportunity for further spiritual growth and development of moral character. As a result of this philosophy, a child grows strong in the beliefs of the Catholic faith while achieving academic success.

St. Joseph Catholic School continues to educate students in Preschool through 8th Grade. We are a multicultural school community with our students coming from Des Moines, Bondurant, Altoona, Pleasant Hill, Mitchellville and Ankeny.
