"The learned will shine as brightly as the vault of heaven and those who have instructed many in virtue will shine like the stars for all eternity"(from the Office of Doctors of the Church).

Welcome to St. Joseph School! Education traditionally meant "education in virtue." St. Joseph School is dedicated to helping families form children in heart, mind, and soul. Please plan to visit our school and experience it for yourself.

I have been a school administrator for over 33 years, in the state of CT, as well as a teacher of students with multiple disabilities, elementary classroom teacher of numerous grade levels, religious education teacher and presently, and for the past 9 years, as an adjunct professor at a Catholic College teaching several special education courses that are required for teacher certification in CT.

I truly believe in the servant leader philosophy of leadership and have for my entire career. I am here to serve all , both young and mature.

Pope Francis said,” that the influence of a Catholic educator depends more on what he or she is as a person and the way he or she lives than what they say, and therefore need their own solid formation to prepare for giving witness to the faith.”

I am looking forward to meeting all the students and working collaboratively with all the faculty, staff, parents and guardians

May God Bless You
