Our Educational Philosophy

Saint Mary’s High School is a Catholic school whose fundamental purpose is the cultivation of each student’s spiritual, intellectual, and physical life. We believe that this purpose is best achieved by an administration and faculty dedicated to the principles of Catholic education.

Because of our strong reliance upon family values, we are committed to the Church’s apostolate to the family and recognize parents as the primary educators of young people in matters of faith and moral development. It is only with this strong family witness that our faculty can more fully develop the potential within each student. Ever mindful of the wide-ranging academic and social interests of our students, Saint Mary’s points to the Gospel message as the source of guidance for each individual. It should be understood that attendance at Saint Mary’s High School requires students to give daily witness to the Gospel message by a Christian manner of conduct, intelligent choices, and sound moral values.

St. Mary’s High School is a Roman Catholic education community. We strive to develop spiritual growth, academic success, character, and integrity in all students. Guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and supported by families, we provide a quality Catholic Education where students are challenged to reach their highest potential and are inspired to embrace a life of service for God and neighbor.
