We will develop the potential of our students as active witnesses of God’s love.

Philosophy

St. Mary’s School is a Catholic community committed to the total development of each child.  We will foster each person’s gifts with respect for individual learners.  We will strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where Catholic teachings & academic excellence are fostered through various learning styles & a wide variety of experiences.  Each student is given encouragement & opportunities to grow spiritually, academically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

We believe education is a cooperative effort involving school, home, parish & community.  Therefore, we strive for continual & open communication.

St. Mary’s School is a vital extension of our parish community.  We are dedicated to the development of people who are witnesses of God’s love.  We are committed to our responsibility to strive for peace and justice in all our relationships throughout our lives.
