St. Mary's School

St. Mary's High School provides a God-centered atmosphere that allows students to develop their knowledge of the Catholic faith and to live that faith in their personal lives.
As Christians, we proclaim counter-cultural values and teach respect for God, all people, and all creation.
We instill moral values in our students and encourage one another to foster stewardship of the gifts God has given each of us.
The philosophy of St. Mary's High School is based on Biblical teachings, culminating in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and continuing through current Catholic Church teachings.
Our school complements the family by promoting the holistic education of each student, focusing on spiritual, scholastic, and social development.
Our educational system helps each student to gain a broad base of knowledge and experience across all curriculum areas.
In order to prepare individual students to be citizens of a global community, we stress effective communication, physical well-being, advanced technological skills, responsible decision making, higher-level thinking, individual creativity, and the ability to access and interpret information.
Since education is ongoing, we approach these essential skills as part of a lifelong process.
