Our School Board consists of nine members elected by St. Joseph Parish and ex-officio members including the Pastor, the Principal, and a faculty representative. The president or chairperson of the school auxiliary groups (Parents+, Athletic Committee, and Bingo Committee) are also ex-officio members.
The School Board represents its constituents: Parents, guardians, and parishioners. It is advisory to the pastor and principal. Members agree that they will use their gifts, talents, and insights for the common good of the community to promote the mission and goals of Catholic education. Standing Committees include fund-raising, publicity/marketing, legislative action, communications, 12/24 hour commitment, long range planning, and the executive committee.
The School Board usually meets on the fourth Monday of the month during August through May at 7:00 P.M. in the school. The meetings are open, and parents are invited and encouraged to attend. Elections are held the last Sunday of April.

Fund Raising
Various fund raising activities are held throughout the year which directly benefit our school:

Market Day is our monthly fund raising program that provides restaurant quality foods for your family at a value while returning a percentage of the purchase price to our school. Each month you'll find that many items on the order sheet are products you use on a daily basis. In addition there will always be something new to keep your breakfast, lunch, and dinner "menus" interesting.
