Overview
Founded in 1897 by the Order of St. Ursula, The Ursuline School is a Catholic, college preparatory school dedicated to the intellectual, spiritual, and moral development of young women. Rooted in the counsels of St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline Sisters, the mission of the school community is to educate, inspire, and empower young women to learn, to lead and to serve.
Committed to academic excellence and the value of every individual, the school challenges each student to develop and share her unique gifts within the school and within the wider community. In a student-centered atmosphere devoted to caring and concern, our young women are encouraged to celebrate the richness of their diverse ethnic, socio-economic, and religious backgrounds uniting them as students and as Ursuline alumnae.
Seeking to model the teachings of St. Angela, the dedicated, talented, and caring faculty, administration, and staff inspire our students not only to learn, but also to question, to reflect, and to challenge.
Maria Regina High School is a Catholic, independent school dedicated to educating young women. Its key objective is to develop within each of them a true sense of Christian values using a holistic approach that fosters the integration of each person as an individual within a global community. Academic excellence is sought within a Catholic environment which reinforces the dignity and respect of everyone, while fostering the call to discipleship of all. The entire school program, whether it be curricular or extracurricular activities, challenges our students to develop their intellectual potential and their physical and social skills. It is only with an integrated effort on the part of the entire staff, as well as our students and their parents, that the philosophy of Maria Regina can be brought to fruition.
