St. Joseph Grade School (SJGS) is a Catholic pre-K through 8 school in South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, noted in particular for its historic school building, a Late Gothic Revival style tan brick building built in 1925. The school has an enrollment of 471 students, and the principal is Melissa Green.[2]

The Congregation of Holy Cross administers the school. It is the parochial school of the Parish of St. Joseph, in the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, and the oldest Catholic congregation in the city. It bears the same name as the county and nearby river.

The main school building is a 2½-story, "T"-plan building of tan brick on a raised basement built in 1925. It sits on a stone-clad foundation and has decorative brickwork. It features projecting entry bays with recessed gothic arched entries and a parapet with stone detailing.[3][4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, one of 95 other districts, properties, and landmarks in the county.[1]
