St. Mary's Catholic School, founded in 1987l is a place of truth and faith. For a school to endure for such a long time must mean the school is doing something right.  The campus is amazing, surrounded by beautiful trees. When you walk into the school it is filled with love, peace, and friendship. Our school is a family with so many good teachers. 

St. Mary's provides a loving and welcoming environment.  Happy kids and teachers are found in every hallway. Students and teachers share the same virtues, such as being pro-life and having strong faith.  The teachers at St. Mary's are some of the best teachers around. They make the learning environment enjoyable. They also make us yearn to be at school. We are ahead of public schools in most of our subjects.

St. Mary's community is about getting together as a family to grow in our faith and knowledge.  Bake sales are held to help out the homeless, veterans, and others in our community. At the start of this school year, our middle school will celebrate Mass on Tuesday and our elementary will celebrate Mass on Thursday. Once a month we gather together for an entire school Mass that includes our sister school Holy Trinity to celebrate as one family. We are glad to have such an amazing community.

Along with great teachers, we have an amazing chef that cooks fresh, homemade, great-tasting food for us every day.  Mr. Boardwater prepares food that we love to eat. The best part about lunch is that we pray before and after we eat. 

There are many different sports that all of Middle school (6th - 8th) can participate in including; basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, soccer, cross-country, track and golf. Sports include varsity and junior varsity teams.  There are no tryouts so everyone gets a chance to try something new.

The blessings of amazing teachers to challenge our minds, family-filled environment, great food to nourish us, and sports to keep us active are just a few that we receive at St. Mary’s Catholic School.
