The St. Mary’s School Family

One thing we hear from our students, families, and teachers is that St. Mary's School is “like family”.

Our “like family” feeling doesn’t come over night, but with over a century of dedication to academic excellence and a rich spiritual journey that focuses on the faith and values of the Catholic Church.

As part of the St. Mary’s School family, your child will experience a quality learning environment where they can also get to know Christ. Our dedicated and experienced teachers work to design creative lessons that tap each student’s natural curiosity and desire to learn.

St. Mary’s School has made an impact over generations of families. Alumni stretches though the generations from grandparents, to parents, and their children, all here at the same small school.

Smaller class sizes make us feel a little more like home. Friendships are developed easily and can last a lifetime. New students are always welcomed with open arms, but they don’t stay “new” for long!
