St. Mary School is different from other schools because it is a Christ-centered school that focuses on educating the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually and culturally. It is a faith and values-based learning environment that prepares students for lifelong learning. The administrators and teachers strive for academic excellence and serve as positive role models for the students. We value diversity and treat each other with dignity and respect. Service activities are an integral part of what we do at St. Mary School. The family-oriented environment helps all students and families feel part of a special community. (SMS Teacher)
