The Principal.

Mr. Thomas Martir has served the Blue Jay community for the past five years in various roles and responsibilities. He previously enjoyed the role of a classroom teacher with experience teaching 3rd-8th graders in a variety of subjects. He has served as Second-in-Command, Instructional Specialist, Religion Coordinator, and a club sponsor and coach for many of the schools organizations and sports. "It has been an incredible journey watching the Holy Spirit move through the students, faculty, and families of St. Joseph these past five years. The tremendous growth inside and outside of our classrooms has been largely because of the people in our corner, fighting for these students day in and day out. I cannot wait to see the difference our Blue Jay family makes in the world." Mr. Martir received his B.S. in Youth and Community Studies with minors in Sociology and Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. He received his M.A. in Catholic Education Leadership from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX.

School History.

The motto of the Archdiocesan Catholic Schools of Galveston-Houston, “We transform the World,” expresses the sixty-eighth year commitment that Saint Joseph Regional Catholic School has made to the development of the whole child. Since it opened its doors on September 13, 1948, Saint Joseph has kept pace with changes in society while continuing its mission to provide quality education rooted in spiritual and moral values, to children residing in Baytown and it’s surrounding areas.

The Congregation of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament were the school’s first teachers. Although the Incarnate Word Sisters are no longer teaching at St. Joseph they remain very much a part of the St Joseph Regional School family. All of the advantages at Saint Joseph are made possible due to the strong support of the Pastor, Father John Lee, the parishioners of Saint Joseph Parish and Regional Parishes, and the dedication of the alumni, the parents, the faculty, and the staff who work together as part of the Saint Joseph family.
