We believe in Catholic Education that is centered in the Spirit

of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

​

We believe that our heritage in the Monadnock region gives us

a faith-filled view of our school, of life, and of our mission.

​

We believe that together, the Saint Joseph Regional School and

Our Lady of Mercy Academy communities of parents, students,

and teachers share a common vision---one formed by the

compassionate message of the Gospel.  We affirm the values of

high academic standards, responsibility, service, community,

and worship.

​

Because of our belief in high academic standards, we teach for a mastery

of the basic learning skills by challenging students to use and develop their

talents to the fullest.

​

Because of our belief in responsibility, we encourage our students to work both independently and cooperatively with others in a respectful manner.

​

Because of our belief in service, we teach our students to be aware of the needs of others and to reach out and help them.

​

Because of our belief in community, we choose to be a compassionate people who care for one another and to create a family atmosphere in our school.

​

Because of our belief in worship, we celebrate our personal commitment to Jesus Christ in prayer, in song, in liturgies, in the sacraments, and in religious instruction.

​

Realizing the beauty of our God-given identity, relatedness and purpose, we strive to form each student into a young adult, responding to those needs by being:

​

• A Hope-Filled Person

• A Person Who Emulates Christ’s Love to All People

• A Whole Person
