The Mission of St. Joseph Regional Elementary School is to foster the development of each student’s character and well-being: spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. Focused on the teachings of Jesus Christ and in the educative program of the Religious Teachers Filippini, the Administration, Teachers and Staff will provide a compassionate and supportive community to achieve the school’s purpose. Rooted in this Christian tradition, the students will recognize and fulfill their call to serve others in Church and Society. St. Joseph Elementary School was founded in 1922 by the Pallottine Fathers. Four years later, the school was staffed by the Religious Teachers of St. Lucy Filippini (www.filippiniusa.org) whose mission is to educate and inspire young people with an awareness that will empower them to influence their world in a Christian manner. The school has a long history of excellence in education here in Hammonton. Many of its graduates pursue Catholic education at St. Joseph High School also here in Hammonton or at the other high schools of the diocese.
