Please read macOS Sierra: Choose preferred Wi-Fi networks.
If that does not accomplish what you seek consider the following.
Click the Wi-Fi icon and select Open Network Preferences...
Select Wi-Fi in the left column, then Advanced...
Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears, including the one(s) you want to use, and delete every one using the "—" (minus) button. Select "Remember networks this computer has joined" and "Require administrator authorization to ... change networks" if they are not already selected, assuming those options describe your intentions.
OK then Apply.
Select the wireless network you want to join in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu, and provide its wireless network password. That network will be the only one it will join, until you manually select a different one.

Have tried a zillion times. Won't stay on top. Won't stay connected to my network! Thanks though!
