Mission Statement

St. Mary's School mass Bird island

St. Mary’s School in Bird Island serves the area students in preschool through eighth grade by providing a Christ-centered Catholic education where academic excellence, self-worth and faith development go hand in hand in a nurturing environment.

Philosophy

St. Mary’s School has a strong commitment and responsibility to be a caring, sharing and witnessing community of faith guided by the Gospel message, rooted in Catholic tradition.  We create an accepting environment in which students are challenged academically and spiritually to develop their talents to their fullest potential.  We strive to teach the value of community service as well as to raise an awareness of peace and justice issues in our world today.
