I am beyond impressed with St Mary School. The level of education provided is outstanding, with a dedicated team of teachers who go above and beyond to ensure each student's success. The smaller class size fosters a strong sense of community and each student gets the attention they need to thrive. St Mary's emphasizes faith, academics, character development, values, respect, responsibility, and teamwork.

The great sense of community is one of the main reasons we love this school. If you are looking for an education rooted in spiritual growth in addition to academic and social growth, this is the school. My oldest mentioned the other day how happy he was that he graduated from here and he really appreciated his experience. He loved the public speaking opportunities and creative projects. He participated in musicals and student council, played sports, and altar served. It is safe, and nurturing and has a committed group of parents and staff. All the students know each other and treat each other like family. We've had eleven years at St. Mary and are grateful both our children have had a wonderful experience.

As a proud father of two current students and an alumnus of St. Mary School, I can confidently say that St. Mary's is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. With a strong foundation in Catholic values, St. Mary School offers a nurturing environment that fosters both academic excellence and spiritual development. One of the standout features of St. Mary School is its incredible sense of community. From the welcoming faculty to the involved parents and dedicated staff, everyone feels like part of a larger family. This supportive atmosphere not only enhances the educational experience but also helps students build lifelong friendships. Academically, the school maintains high standards that encourage students to reach their full potential. My sons, in 1st and 3rd grades, have thrived in a curriculum that balances rigorous academics with creative exploration. The teachers are passionate and committed, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and support. Overall, St. Mary School is a fantastic choice for families seeking a quality education rooted in strong community and faith. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering enrollment!

The community at the school is amazing! There are opportunities for parents to get involved so that they can see what is happening on campus and in the classroom. We have 3 children currently enrolled with 1 more eagerly waiting to join their siblings.

Having grown up attending Catholic school, I knew I wanted my kids to have the same faith-based education. After looking at various Catholic schools in the area, St. Mary`s was a stand out due to its amazing community and the class sizes that allow for truly personalized learning. The teachers are tapped into the uniqueness of each of their students and help foster their desire to learn. They support not only their students but also their families along the way. My daughter is in first grade and has had so many wonderful opportunities, thanks to her teachers. She`s been able to practice public speaking at morning assemblies, enjoys spending time with students in all grade levels in the after-school program, and has been able to participate in so many fun and exciting activities that have helped her grow as an individual. St. Mary`s also has an incredible parent and parish community that supports and volunteers at the school. It`s been amazing getting to know the families and becoming a part of this wonderful community over the past couple of years.
