Dear Saint Mary’s Families,
Every day I walk onto our campus, I feel blessed to be in such a wonderful community. The students, faculty, staff, parents, administration and others make Saint Mary’s a special place for all.
The past school year saw us achieve remarkable feats. For the first time, freshmen had the opportunity to take an AP course, Human Geography. The class of 2023 was accepted into top colleges across the country. We received our Future Farmers of America Charter and saw enrollment rise calling for the addition of another teacher. The production of “Newsies” was nominated and honored at the prestigious Rita Moreno Awards. We saw the creation of our Mock Trial team, placing second in the county. In our inaugural year offering sacramental prep, two students were baptized, and made their First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Lastly, our athletic teams won 11 league championships and two section championships.
As the 2023-2024 school year approaches, we welcome new families to our community and new changes to how we operate as a school. Our new schedule will provide consistency and allow students and teachers to have more meetings per week. One lunch will encourage collaboration among students and faculty for club meetings and other events. A change to our finals policy will allow students to feel more prepared and exhibit the knowledge learned through each semester.
At St. Mary’s, we pray together, learn together, laugh together and have a lot of fun. But, what makes us great is we do not settle for mediocrity and continuously work to improve everything we do. We are excited you are on this journey with us and we look forward to being an extension of your home. We appreciate the privilege you have provided us to not only educate your child academically and spiritually but also prepare them to be productive members of society.
We enter our 148th year with enthusiasm as we have a wonderful group of faculty and staff who work all year to provide the best experience to your children. We celebrated the Class of 2023 and colleagues who retired or moved to new opportunities, but we welcome the Class of 2027, new faculty and staff.
