ABOUT ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL

St. Mary's School provides a quality Catholic education for all families who desire and choose such for their children. At St. Mary's we integrate the Gospel values and truths throughout the curriculum. We work to develop an atmosphere and environment that has its characteristics: love, cooperation, unity, and a reverence for life, and respect for the rights of others.

St. Mary's Parish is committed to providing a school for those who want a Catholic education with a strong academic program for their children. When class size permits, Catholics from neighboring parishes and non-Catholic students are welcome to apply for admission. No child or family will be discriminated against in admission on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, or handicap.
