St. Mary Elementary School

The St. Mary School System is a coeducational, interparochial Catholic school system of the Diocese of Owensboro.
We are a community composed of parents, guardians, students (PreK - 12), administrators, faculty and support staff which fosters a Christian environment with emphasis on the pursuit of excellence.
This is accomplished through a commitment to the tradition of integrating Christian values with challenging academic and extracurricular activities in a disciplined environment.
We believe we are called by God to serve His purpose as His ministers to His children.
Therefore, we, come together in association based on Gospel values and a shared desire to foster these values in our own lives and in the lives of our children.
As a result of this association, We support and maintain the St. Mary School System as a Christian school which shares in the teaching mission of the Catholic Church.
St. Mary School System, under the patronage of its namesake, Mary, fosters among its members attitudes of tolerance and sensitivity to the individuality of all, of genuine concern for justice and peace, and of service to fellow members and others in the community, based upon the pursuit of excellence through Christ.
