 St. Joseph School
Founded 1953, Madison,
Tennessee
Diocese of Nashville
Monsignor George Rohling, first pastor of St. Joseph Church, opened the
school in the fall of 1953 with 160 students, five teachers and Sister
Josephine Connelly as principal. Among the student body were many children
who had previously attended Holy Name School in East Nashville. Much
enthusiasm went into the construction of the new church, which attracted
attention nationwide for its innovative architectural design. At this time
additions were made to the school which included a gymnasium and a
cafeteria. Over the course of the past 47 years, St. Joseph School has
grown in quality and dep th. It boasts a stable and dedicated faculty, as
well as a tradition of parents who are generous with their time and
energy. Along with a solid academic program, the school is strong in fine
arts, particularly in the areas of forensics and music. With the recent
renovation, St. Joseph School now enjoys a first rate facility with the
full benefit of technological advancements.
