About Saint Mary School

Mission Statement

We, of Saint Mary School, are a Catholic community that works to ensure that every student in Pre-K through Grade 8 acquires 21st century knowledge, critical thinking skills, and Catholic values based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In conjunction with the family, the Church, and the community at large, we offer a safe and nurturing environment and an innovative and rigorous academic program with emphasis on moral education, community and service.  We prepare a diverse student population to live as productive and contributing participants of a global society and to live as full members of the Body of Christ.

Our commitment to academic excellence, while developing the spirit, mind and body of every child, enables every student to achieve the full potential that God has bestowed.

Annually, we recommit to providing your child with the best possible faith-based education, and we thank you for that privilege.
