School Notes
- At St. Mary's Academy, unique, powerful women leaders are not the exception to the rule-they're everyone you meet. Since 1859, when a group of passionate Sisters founded a school for women when none like it existed, St. Mary's has always been a place that nurtures extraordinary women leaders.
- That's the beauty of a program only we can offer as Oregon's sole provider of the exemplary all-girls Catholic high school education-a place where women are challenged to take risks on the field, on the stage, and in the lab; where women are setting an example for what a leader really looks like.
- St. Mary's Academy is the only place where young women, embracing a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds, come together to discover, grow and thrive in an environment designed specifically for their success.
- St. Mary's students break molds. They know how to speak their mind just as well as they know mindfulness, they lean on spirituality, faith and Catholic values while they carve out their own paths, and lift each other up in the process.
- St. Mary's graduates enter the world confident in their abilities, energized by their passions, grounded in our traditions, and undaunted by the challenges they will face.
