At St. Joseph School, every gift has a purpose. Whether large or small, your support helps us provide an exceptional Catholic, Jesuit education—one that inspires students, supports teachers, and sustains our campuses.
Tuition alone doesn’t cover the full cost of education. It’s the generosity of parents, alumni, community partners, and friends that helps us go further. Your gift helps us deliver a program that forms the whole child: mind, heart, and spirit.
By choosing to give, you join a shared commitment to helping students reach their God-given potential—developing their unique gifts and preparing them to lead with purpose, compassion, and courage.

Every donor makes a difference and is recognized in our Annual Report.
The St. Joseph School Endowment began with a simple but powerful vision: that a quality Catholic, Jesuit education should be accessible for generations to come. Parents and community members who believed in that promise established the endowment to ensure cost would not be a barrier to a St. Joseph School education.
Today, the Endowment continues to grow thanks to the generosity of those who share this long-term vision. A separately incorporated fund, it provides annual grants to the school that support three key areas: student financial aid, staff enrichment, facilities, and special programs, including the Learning Resource Center. The principal is invested and never spent—earnings are distributed to sustain these essential areas year after year.
Endowed funds may be established with a gift of $25,000 or more, and donors can continue to contribute to increase their impact. Contributions to existing funds are also welcome and deeply appreciated.
By including St. Joseph School in your estate planning, you help ensure future generations benefit from the same formation, care, and quality education that continues to shape lives today. Planned gifts often support the Endowment and may also provide tax or income benefits during your lifetime.
We can work with you to create a giving option that aligns with your goals.
Our annual auction is an unforgettable evening of generosity and celebration. Families, alumni, parishioners, staff, and friends come together for live and silent auctions, raffles, and community fun—all in support of our mission.
This event brings students, staff, and families together for a fun and active day that supports student programs. Part fundraiser, part celebration, the Jog-a-thon encourages creativity, participation, and school spirit, while raising important funds for student programs.
