Principal’s Welcome

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn about St. SEHEJ. As one of the oldest schools serving individuals who are blind/visually impaired and/or multiply disabled, we are uniquely positioned to meet each student’s educational needs.

Each day our dedicated faculty and staff bring their experience, energy, creativity and an overall enthusiasm to the classroom and their students. Working together, we encourage and support each child academically, socially and emotionally to help them attain their greatest potential.

I am proud to be a part of this successful organization that has expanded its mission over the years to meet the growing needs of students with special needs. On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, I encourage you to explore our website and appreciate the uniqueness of St. Joseph’s School for the Blind and the opportunities that abound for each child.
