Why A Catholic School

A Catholic School, and St. Joseph/Marquette School in particular, blends the importance of academic excellence with the teachings of a gospel-oriented education. A child attending St. Joseph/Marquette benefits from an outstanding educational staff, dedicated to providing the finest in spiritual and academic development.

In addition, Christian values and morals are integrated throughout each subject area, encouraging children to see the importance of respect, ethics and good citizenship throughout each of their activities all of their lives. At St. Joseph/Marquette, the total child is educated.

Registration Process

New Families

The registration process for a new family begins once the family calls or visits the school to inquire about St. Joseph/Marquette. Our registrar will encourage families to arrange a time to take a personal tour of the school, to learn first hand about the environment, the campus, the academic and religious programs. Following the tour the family will receive an informational packet which will contain a brochure about the school, curriculum information for their child’s specific grade level, and financial papers.

Once a family has decided that they would like to enroll their child at St. Joseph/Marquette Catholic School, they should call the registrar to place their name on a registration list. We begin placing families on our registration list on the first school day in January.

Once our current family re-registration is completed, new families will be contacted to complete the enrollment process. This process may include a classroom visit, a tour of the school (if not done previously), a personal visit with the principal. Once this is completed the family will be accepted into our school community. The family will complete the financial portion of the registration process: registration fees, promissory note, and registration forms including the child’s immunization records, baptismal and/or birth record.

Current Families

Registration for current families begins on the second week of February. Following a mandatory parent meeting, re-registration packets are distributed to each family. Families complete the re-registration form and return it along with the registration fees to the main office. Included in the packet is the promissory note which families use to select their tuition level, payment schedule, and indicate the appropriate fees for their children.
