Overview
St. Mary's Catholic School in Taylor educates for wisdom & virtue, centered on Christ, in the Classical Catholic Tradition. Our mission is to further God's kingdom through faith, academics, and service. As we grow in wisdom and virtue, we also order our hearts to seek that which is True, Beautiful, and Good. In order to know the truth, behold the beautiful, and choose the good, students must learn that truth is not relative, beauty is not "in the eye of the beholder," and goodness is not subjective.
These objective transcendentals set us free from the condition that prevents us from being fully integrated human beings mind, heart, body, and soul.
In other words, our vision is to develop what is uniquely human by equipping students with the knowledge, skills, habits, and aptitudes necessary to realize their full potential - created in the Divine Image of God - and grow in relationship with Christ.
Saint Helen Catholic School is committed to educating the whole person to see with Christ's eyes.
Saint Helen Catholic School is dedicated to serving the diverse community of Georgetown and the Diocese of Austin.
It is our goal to nurture the whole child with a program of academic excellence in a Catholic environment.
We believe that parents and guardians are the primary educators of their children and that it is the responsibility of the Catholic Community of Saint Helen to assist in this endeavor.
The family, the school, and the parish community work together modeling, mentoring, and instructing our children to develop into compassionate, intelligent, and responsible citizens.
As a Catholic family, we respect each individual for the personal gifts that each person brings into our community.
