Panther for a Day
Experience the St. Joseph Difference — Be a Student for a Day!
Come see what makes St. Joseph a place where faith, learning, and community thrive. We invite prospective students to spend a day shadowing — to meet our amazing teachers, make new friends, and experience the joy and purpose of Catholic education firsthand.
Shadowing is a wonderful opportunity to explore our welcoming classrooms, strong academics, and vibrant faith life.
- Open to students entering 3rd through 8th Grade
- Includes classroom visits, peer interactions, and fun activities

FAQs
What do I wear on my shadow day?
Visiting students may wear school appropriate clothing. They are not required to wear a uniform.
What about lunch?
Visiting students are asked to pack a lunch and bring it with them. Although the school has many lunch options, hot lunches are pre-ordered.
Do I need to bring any school supplies?
Visiting students do not need to bring any school supplies with them. St. Joseph teachers will supply all visiting students with the materials they need to complete tasks.
Can I just drop my student off or do I need to escort them into the building?
We ask that all visiting families park across the street and escort their student to the office using the main entrance to the building.
If families have not already had an opportunity to meet our Administrative Assistants and Principal, we invite families to meet with them and take a tour.
