MISSION
The
mission of St. Mary Parish School, in strong partnership
with families, is to create community and to provide
quality Catholic education.
As they develop their unique gifts, students become
responsible, competent, and socially-conscious learners.
PHILOSOPHY
St.
Mary Parish School shares in the educational mission
of the Catholic Church, striving to develop a personal
and communal commitment to a life of faith. Together
with families, we instill Christian principles in a
caring and active Catholic community.
Through a loving and nurturing environment, we affirm
that all persons are created in God's image; therefore,
students are challenged to fulfill their unique potential.
To further meet the needs of students and prepare them

emphasizing spiritual development, social responsibility,
physical well being, psychological health, and academic
accomplishment.
