Named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2024 and 2013 by the U.S. Department of Education, St. Joseph School is a Catholic parish school serving children in Pre-K 4's to grade 8. Located in the heart of Cockeysville, the mission of St. Joseph, an authentically Catholic community of diverse learners, prepares students to think critically, to work purposefully, and to live faithfully.

Purpose
At St. Joseph School, we believe it is the high standards, the moral foundation and the positive, compassionate energy that our students are immersed in every day.
