During my time here at St.Marys I was able to learn more then just education. I was taught about my faith in a way I never would have known. I was always Catholic but never practiced. St. Marys taught me the true meaning of being Catholic and I studied the Bible, Saints, the history of the faith, and what it truly means to follow God. I studied this all four years being there in my Theology classes which were lead by teachers who did not force the faith upon the students but instead just wanted to educate us. Besides the religious views, the academics were beyond what I could have received at any other school. The school did everything in their power to make sure every student stayed on track with their curriculum. I remember if I started to fall behind in a class the teachers would reach out to help in any way they can. On top of education the school was very organized and offered many ways to help pay for schooling and got as many students involved in sports and clubs.
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.
