I have been blessed with a great education and it has all started with a fundamental belief that education is not simply meant for the good of the mind, but for the beatification and development of the soul as well. Saint Marys Catholic Highschool's mission is to form, “virtuous young men and women who know the truth and love the good”(Mission statement). I have definitely experienced this formation as I look back on my four years of High School. I have received a high school level, liberal arts education and I have found it to be very beneficial so far even in my short life. I have found that I am able to articulate and discover particular conclusions of reality and life by building off of the basic first principles and truths that St. Mary’s has taught me to observe. St. Mary’s challenged both the mind and the soul to a higher calling. A calling that contains more fulfillment and truth than any other. The calling to strive to be an educated, Catholic young man in the world.
I came from a small Catholic elementary school. Even though the school size was relatively small, I still felt like I could not get the attention I needed from teachers. At St. Mary's, the school size is still small and gave me a warm community feel, similar to my old school. The difference was that the class sizes were smaller and more engaging. The school gives many opportunities to seek help and connect with teachers, counselors, or peers. The smaller size of the school is not intimidating, but I'm still able to meet new people on a regular basis. As I start my senior year, I feel like I am better prepared for college, especially when it comes to writing. St. Mary's is an excellent school if you're looking for authentic tradition that has evolved over time. The school does not feel outdated and the teachers are always learning about new ways to teach their students. Overall, St. Mary's is one of the best high schools in Arizona.
Saint Mary's is an amazing high school. The teachers are incredible and truly care about the students' well-being. The school offers honors and AP classes for students who want to further challenge themselves with rather more difficult material at a faster pace. Tutoring and office hours are offered as well for those who are struggling in a particular subject. There are a variety of sports, clubs, and activities that students can engage in. I can say with confidence that there is something for everyone. Saint Mary's also helps students strengthen their relationship with God. Mass and confession are offered everyday for those who wish to go. Theology classes are required to take. Students learn about the Old and New Testament, the sacraments, and the moral theology of the Catholic faith.
