St Joseph Catholic School

In 1889, the new combination of Church and school was dedicated at the 13th street location. Classes continued to be held in the sacristies of the Church until June 1909. The new school was built and contained six classrooms and a basement. In 1920, two additional rooms were added. Throughout the years, additional classrooms were added. In 2005, St... . Joseph Grade School opened its doors to a new pre-school program, which was housed in the Parish Hall. In 2006, a new pre-school facility was established in a property owned by the Church adjacent to the Parish Hall in order to accommodate an increase in enrollment. In 2007, the pre-school developed a partnership with Cabell County to provide the school's current and future families with a pre-k 4-year old program. In addition to this new program, the school opened its doors to a new nursery and toddler program for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 24 months. In 2007, Bishop Bransfield approved the construction of a brand new school designed to hold students pre-k through eighth grade. In 2008, the doors to the new school building were opened to students, faculty and staff with an official ribbon cutting ceremony taking place in 2009. The completion of the new school building has been one of St. Joseph's most amazing accomplishments. Combined with the leadership and vision of Monsignor Luciana, the Church and school community, we will continue to pray and work towards the success of the new school's building campaign, "Building Our Future, United in Christ" for many years to come. The new school building has been designed to meet the needs of a 21st century learning environment. Students enjoy larger classroom settings, a middle school regulation-sized gymnasium, a computer lab and media room, a Title 1 room and a science lab. In addition to these facilities, St. Joseph Catholic School along with St. Joseph Catholic Church and High School acquired the adjacent property that includes a parking lot, gymnasium, grass field and playground in 2011.
