Sub Committees

Development

The Development Committee creates a proactive, sustainable fundraising and development approach that supports the financial well-being of St. Joseph School. Through the planning and implementation of Development activities, funds are raised to grow the St. Joseph School Endowment Fund, Tuition Scholarship Fund, Investing in the Future Fund, and Teacher Enrichment Fund. All families are called upon to make an annual Development Commitment and support the various fundraising events sponsored by St. Joseph School committees. Another key purpose of these activities is to build and promote community in the school and parish family.

Marketing Communications

The Marketing Communications Committee positively promotes St. Joseph School and seeks to enhance communications internally and externally; grow the student population and retain current students/families through recruitment and retention efforts; promote fundraising initiatives that support the financial well-being of the school; market school activities to foster faith and fellowship; build and maintain Alumni relations focused on community and creating a lasting legacy.
