About Us

Mission

It is the mission St. Mary Catholic School to be a partner with parents in the spiritual and academic education of their children.  This Catholic Education is rooted in the Gospel teaching of Jesus Christ and modeled by Mary, our Mother of the Eucharist. This takes place in a positive atmosphere where students are encouraged to reach their full potential, both in living out their Catholic faith and pursing academic excellence.
