      When I arrived at St. Mary's School in 1993 for my first teaching job, it was a small school with long history, a dreamy vision for the future, and a core of dedicated individuals with big hearts. Now, after 25 years of steady growth and excellent stewardship, the school is starting to become that place toward which those early stalwarts strived: it is a school that values the uniqueness of the individual, aims to create life-long learners, aspires to boost its graduates on their college and career paths, fosters an ever-widening community, and seeks a stable, sustainable future as an institution. Bravo, St. Mary's! You have come a long way! And the future looks bright.

      As the parent of a middle school student and a high school student, I have to say I am so impressed by the individualized instruction and attention that my children receive at St. Mary's. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure that my children can be successful academically, and they genuinely care about the overall well -being of my children. In addition, I love all of the opportunities that are available to my children outside of the regular classroom. Whether it be sports, clubs, robotics, or student council, my kids feel included and valued as members of the St. Mary's School community. I couldn't ask for a better experience for my children!
      I’ve been a parent of both middle school and high school students at St. Mary’s for the last 4 years. I can honestly say that if I could imagine the school of my dreams, St. Mary’s is that school and then some! The teachers and staff genuinely care about my children and are fully invested in helping them to teach their full potential. They are challenged academically as well as guided and educated in so many other areas of learning that are often overlooked in the public school system. The new 2.0 curriculum has been excellent and I can see with certainty how my children are on a strong path to success because of it. We truly love St. Mary’s school and cannot imagine being anywhere else.
