Did you know? A homestead property is your primary residence (home where you live). Non-homestead properties include land and buildings such as businesses, rental properties and vacation homes that have not been designated as primary residence. If approved, the operating millage WOULD NOT change the taxes on your primary residence. It only applies to non-homestead properties.


Did you know? The sinking fund millage proposal is a renewal of the existing sinking fund for 5 more years. The funds can be used for energy improvements, parking lot/driveway repairs, and improvements to existing facilities.

St. Joseph Public Schools would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the custodial staff of our district for all the hard work they do for us and our students.

Mrs. Francis, Mrs. LoPresti and Mrs. Kietzerow all had the same idea on such a nice day for their BEAR TIME: Explore the outdoors! 8th graders identified trees, while the 6th graders explored the trails








Today, we honor the many who lost their lives on 9/11 through the BOSS Services 4th annual 9/11 Hero Climb, proudly hosted by St. Joseph Public Schools at Dickinson Stadium. Some climbed up and down 2,071 stairs of the high school’s stadium to symbolize the 110 floors of the Twin Towers in New York City, while others walked the equivalent distance around the track. Thank you to everyone who came out this morning and to everyone who helped put on this heartfelt event.



The 24-25 school year begins!


Upton Start-Up Day has been a huge success!
