St. Mary is a Catholic school, first and foremost. As a result we strive to create a school community which reflects the gospel values that Jesus Christ taught. These values are certainly embodied in the two greatest commandments our Lord and Savior directed us to follow: “You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, ...You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22: 37-39) It is our goal to integrate this spiritual dimension into the pursuit of academic excellence. The bringing together of these two elements helps us to educate the whole child by addressing their spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and social needs through the support of teachers and parents and the use of Love and Logic, a discipline program that helps build responsible children. We are very proud of our students, parents, faculty and staff at St. Mary Catholic School.
