Meet Our Faculty

Our exceptional faculty is what makes SJA great. We have passionate, creative teachers who care deeply for their students.

The dedicated faculty at St. Joseph’s Academy present at and attend nationwide conferences on a variety of subjects, including technology, spiritual growth and leadership.

Faculty members receive national, regional, state and local awards for excellence in teaching, as well as grants for further study and instructional programs.  

Teachers are given the freedom to use their talents in their classrooms. They develop quality relationships with their students, administrators and peers and are supported in their efforts to provide learning that makes a difference. They recognize the importance of both the content of a particular discipline and the processes that provide order, direction and opportunity for active learning.

Faculty members are committed to providing personal attention to each student. They are actively involved with students during class time and are available before school hours, during free periods and after school.

Teachers affirm the importance of personalizing the Catholic Christian tradition and heritage in an atmosphere of community and service. 

SJA provides monthly faculty professional development which includes up-to-date studies, trends, educational tools and topics in education.
