Who We Are
Mission Statement
Saint Joseph Catholic High School educates young people for life. We provide a Christian community that integrates Catholic values, beliefs and traditions within the context of a strong academic program. We partner with parents to foster the integration of the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social dimensions of adolescents in a respectful, safe and caring environment.
Beliefs and Values
For all of Ogden’s history, the Catholic Church has provided for an education of our northern Utah youth which brings the Gospel to their lives. Our school honors our legacy of worship, prayer and sacrament, study of God’s word and the tradition of the Church, and service to all people.
Our school is administered by the Diocese of Salt Lake for the people of northern Utah. We teach the diocesan curriculum in theology, campus ministry, academic subjects, performing and visual arts.
Our school believes that the students in our community deserve our best: our best teaching, our best prayers, our best coaching. Our school believes in providing an exceptional education for soul, mind, and body - because we believe in the unlimited value of each student. Our school values education for its life-changing power. We value the rich array of gifts a diverse community possesses, and so we cultivate a range of cultures, ethnicities, and economic circumstances in our students and families.
We believe in supporting families in their sacrifice for Catholic education through our income-based grants. We welcome to our community all who wish to join in its mission
