Meet our Principal, Peggy Frederickson

Hi! I’m Peggy, the Principal at St. Joseph Catholic School.

St. Joseph Catholic School is a vibrant school community, where academic excellence, faith formation, and a strong sense of family come together to nurture our students. We believe in educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our commitment to this holistic approach ensures that every student is prepared to thrive both academically and spiritually.

I am supported by a wonderful team of dedicated teachers and staff who share in this mission. Together, we work tirelessly to create a learning environment where students grow not only in knowledge but also in their faith—a faith they will carry with them throughout their lives. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or through service opportunities, our students are encouraged to live out their values daily.

What Our Families Say

  • "We have a rare gem right in Saint Joseph – a Catholic education where faith and values are discussed each day that help nurture our children in a rapidly changing and confusing world. The quality of teaching is exceptional and there is a strong sense community amongst the students, faculty, staff, and parents. We would not want our children anywhere else!"

    —Matt Beirne

  • "Friends are like family! The smaller class sizes allow for individual focused attention for students. The students learn to expand their knowledge base thanks to the challenging, yet fun and engaging curriculum. We are happy we chose SJCS for our elementary education!"

    —Jessica Davidson
