St. Mary's School Community are a parish parochial educational institution built on a strong heritage that challenges us to high expectations in Christian values as well as in academic, service, and extra-curricular areas.
Our school environment, which is open to all young people, nurtures the goal that we as students, family, staff and parish are to be lifelong contributing members of the Church and society.
We strive to help students develop their expressive ideas and qualities.
We believe that a child's social development begins in the home.
It is our responsibility, alongside parents, to serve as positive role models to help insure that those children under our charge develop social behaviors that will enable them to live self-disciplined and generous lives, reaching beyond themselves in service to others.
