About

Celebrating 150 Years of Excellence

Since 1876, Saint Mary’s has served as a beacon of academic excellence, faith formation, and character development. We are a regional Catholic, college preparatory high school, drawing students from throughout San Joaquin County and beyond. Our mission is rooted in the commitment to help each student grow in faith, rise as leaders, and reach their full potential — all within a safe, supportive, and values-based environment.

As a part of the Saint Mary’s family, your student will join a community where high expectations are paired with strong support. Our shared values and purpose unite families in pursuit of success — not only in academics, but in life. The discipline, work ethic, and character students develop here carry far beyond graduation, empowering them to become productive, compassionate, and confident individuals.

Now celebrating 150 years of legacy, Saint Mary’s has a rich and storied history with generations of alumni across the globe who are leaders in business, education, healthcare, service, and countless other fields. Your child will join this powerful network — one that proudly supports fellow graduates and shares a deep-rooted bond through the values instilled here. Our alumni know what it means to be a Saint Mary’s graduate and continue to uphold our mission built around the Salesian model: “Be who you are and be that well.”

Catholic values are woven into every aspect of our school and help shape our students into thoughtful, faith-filled, and principled young adults — ready to make a difference in the world, regardless of the paths they choose.

We encourage you to explore the many opportunities we offer to experience Saint Mary’s for yourself — whether through campus visits, shadow days, open houses, or conversations with our students and faculty. We also provide a wide range of tuition assistance and scholarship opportunities, because we believe that a Saint Mary’s education should be accessible to all who seek it.

We welcome students of all faiths and backgrounds and celebrate the richness each individual brings to our school community.

As we mark this historic 150th year, we reflect on all that has come before and look forward with excitement to what lies ahead.

Come be part of the next chapter. Welcome to Saint Mary’s.

Respectfully in the Lord,

Jim Brusa

President

In compliance with federal regulations, Saint Mary's High School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color or national or ethnic origin. In this matter, we follow diocesan policy. Diocesan policy on non-discrimination and on procedures to be followed in case there are complaints or grievances in this matter can be found in the Administrative Handbook of the Diocese of Stockton. A copy of this handbook is available in the school office. The principal coordinates local efforts to assure that our school complies with federal regulations on non-discrimination.

All schools of the Diocese of Stockton admit students regardless of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other similar programs may limit participation.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.

[Note that this School Student Non-Discrimination Policy does not provide nor imply that the School and/or Diocese waives any legal exceptions or exemptions that may apply to it as a religious nonprofit organization.]
