MISSION:Christ is the reason for our school.

He is the unseen but ever present

teacher in our classrooms. He is

the model for our faculty and the

inspiration of our students.

Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

(Proverbs 22:6)

Dear Friends,

For more than 135 years, St. Joseph School has provided students with an

excellent education in an environment that fosters spiritual growth and

religious formation. We offer high academic standards, while making sure

our students understand the mission of the Church and what it means

to be a Catholic. Our school is staffed with administrators and teachers

who are dedicated to the values and outcomes of Catholic education.

And our students move on to become morally grounded members of

society with many serving as business and civic leaders in our community.

We are very proud of our school and our students. This past year was an

exciting year as our teachers continued to expand the use of technology

and apply best practices in the classroom. Our students are prepared for

college and careers, while focusing on Christ – the reason for our school.

In the 2014-2015 academic year, SJS maintained an enrollment of 434

students. This population includes members of the St. Joseph Church

community, Catholics from other parishes and non-Catholic students. As a

result of the rigorous academics at SJS, our students continue to consistently

score above the state and national averages on standardized tests.

This year’s Annual Fund participation generated over $16,000. It is due to

your continued generous support of the Annual Fund that we have been

able to upgrade technology this year. Please mark your calendar for

August 10th from 5:00 pm–6:30 pm for our Grand Opening of the Courtyard

and Cyber Café in the High School building.

We look forward to another successful year academically and spiritually

in 2015-2016. We thank you, the alumni, parents, business partners,

grandparents, donors and friends – you who are sacrificing your time,

talent, and treasure to support Christian/Catholic education. Without your

support, Catholic education could not continue. May God reward your

efforts, and may God continue to bless St. Joseph School community with

love, commitment, and a generous heart!

Cyber Cafe

With a donation of $7,000

from the Annual Fund, our

unused Courtyard and

rarely used High School

computer lab have

been transformed into

a Cyber Cafe area:

a collaborative learning

environment for students.

Grand Opening August 10!5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

“The courtyard and cyber cafe is a great new opportunity for the students to have a place that they can go meet and just relax while reading, socializing, or studying. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on this board and help create this wonderful new space and cafe!”

Emily Hambuchen (10th grade) “I am very excited about this project! I love being involved with the details and knowing I’m helping create something great for my school. It’s very exciting to know what is going on and plan upcoming events! I can’t wait for the Cafe to open because it will be a great environment for students to work. The Courtyard will be great because it will provide fresh air and sunshine after being inside for so long. This project will be great for the future students because it will provide a great work experience and a great work environment for everyone!”

Anna Claire Bailey (10th grade)

HISTORY

St. Joseph School is a

dynamic, K-12 parochial

Catholic school in Conway,

Arkansas committed to

developing adults of faith

and intelligence. Since

1879, families have chosen

St. Joseph School for their

child’s education and

religious formation.

1879

1898

1896

The Holy Ghost Fathers were granted permission to

build a church in Conway to increase Arkansas

Catholic population. St. Joseph School was established

in May of 1879, following the dedication of St. Joseph

Church earlier that year.

The Sisters of St. Joseph de Cluny from France were

the first teachers, but left in 1896 and the school

closed. The school re-opened in 1898 with one lay

teacher for all 30 students.

The School Sisters of Notre Dame of Germany arrived

and began teaching by the end of 1898. The Sisters of

Notre Dame started the St. Joseph Bazaar in 1912 to

raise money for school supplies.

1926

1976

1980

Instruction through 9th grade was first offered in 1926

and the school expanded during the next four years

to include the 10th through 12th grades in 1930. The

Sisters of St. Joseph du Puy arrived in 1971 to teach

junior high and high school.

St. Joseph Endowment and Charitable Trust was

formed in 1976 to provide financial aid and support

to the school.

The Sisters of St. Joseph du Puy and all but two Sisters

of Notre Dame left around 1980 and all nuns were

gone at the end of the 1980-1981 school year. The

1981-1982 faculty consisted of all lay people.

1990

2000

2010

In the early-1990s, school uniforms were required. By

the mid-1990s, the small school gym was transformed

into a parish hall/school cafeteria, and a spacious

Family Activities Center became the new gym.

At the start of the 2000-2001 school year, the

St. Joseph Elementary School, purchased by the

Friends of St. Joseph, and later assumed by the

St. Joseph Endowment, was dedicated. It now

houses Pre-K through 3rd grade.

In 2010, St. Joseph Church and School became a

part of the Diocese of Little Rock.

Midway. The Silent & Live Auction event will be August 8th.

The St. Joseph School Endowment is a private, secular, non-profit fund

The St. Joseph Flea Market is a volunteer-

managed thrift store. Originally, the Flea Market was a

part of the annual Bazaar. In 2002, it became a year-

round business with its own location. All Flea Market

proceeds are used toward the school. The Flea Market

is contributing $300,000 to the 2015-2016 school budget.

St. Joseph H.O.O.K.S. (Helping Out Our Kids’ School) is an annual fish fry with

silent and live auctions to benefit St. Joseph School. This fundraiser is led by the

Bob and Cheryl Imboden family and the Ray and Betty Luyet family.

January 31, 2015 marked the 10th annual H.O.O.K.S. dinner,

contributing $75,000. H.O.O.K.S. has raised nearly $475,000 in

the past 10 years for St. Joseph School. Funds have been used

for a bus, books, technology, security systems, cafeteria

upgrades, and more.

Individual Donors. Over the past 136 years, individual donors have greatly

contributed to the success of St. Joseph School through prayer, time, and financial gifts.

We acknowledge all individual donors at every level for their contribution to the mission of

St. Joseph School. Individual investors are alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff,

St. Joseph Church parishioners, and community members.
