History

Catholic education in Ogden began over 130 years ago. Its beginnings can be traced to Saint Joseph Parish, which planned and organized a school in the old Saint Joseph Church in 1877. Classes began at Easter of that year.

In 1881, Saint Joseph School moved to a new building at the corner of 26th and Washington, which was built for the purpose of housing the school and its programs. In 1923, Bishop Glass dedicated the new Saint Joseph Grade School, built on the corner of 28th and Lincoln. 147 students were enrolled. Classes were held at this site until the fall of 1979.

Saint Joseph Grade School then purchased the Quincy School from the Ogden Board of Education. The Quincy building on the corner of 30th and Quincy Avenue serves as the present location for preschool through eighth grade. In 1952, Saint Joseph Catholic High School was built in 1790 Lake street in Ogden and serves as the present location for ninth through twelve grade.

Saint Joseph Catholic Schools (SJCS) serves nine parishes and missions in the greater Ogden area and is the only Catholic elementary school in Ogden. [5]
