About St Joseph School - Hanover

Families in the Hanover area know us as the Shamrocks. St. Joseph Catholic School is a parish school of the Diocese of Harrisburg, accredited by the Middle States Association, teaching children from a three-year-old preschool class through 8th grade.

Preschool 3 meets two mornings a week, and Pre-K 4 runs three or five full days. From Pre-K 4 up, students have weekly music, and older grades add art, Spanish and physical education. Children in grades 4 to 8 can sing in the school choir and take band or instrumental lessons. Our athletic association fields basketball teams from 3rd grade up, cheerleading, and girls volleyball, and older students can join Delone Catholic football, volleyball and cross country.

We use a cost-to-educate tuition model: the full rate is $8,000 for 2026-27, with lower participating rates of $3,900 for Catholic families and $5,600 for non-Catholic families who complete financial aid or join the EITC program. Our CARES extended care program serves K to 8 students after dismissal until 5:30 p.m., and busing is arranged through five local school districts.
