St. Mary’s Catholic School Celebrates Catholic School Week

Temple, TX – St. Mary’s Catholic School will hold a Shadow Week January 28th-February 1st. You are welcome to visit, take a tour and have your child spend the day. The week will culminate with an Open House on Saturday, February 2nd from 12:00-2:00.

Temple has Catholic Schools in Temple, educating children from Pre-K through 12th grades. Working together, St. Mary’s and Holy Trinity Catholic Schools provide the foundation for students to be faith-filled, life-long learners, whose Catholic Identity is strong and who strive to achieve academically.

Studies show that students who are in Catholic schools demonstrate higher academic achievement. Graduates of Catholic schools are likely to earn higher wages, and social class effects on educational achievement are significantly lessened in Catholic schools.  

Catholic schools also tend to produce graduates who are more civically engaged and are more committed to service as adults. The Catholic school climate, mission, and purpose positively impact student achievement and attendance.  In addition, 99% of Catholic school students graduate from high school on time, and 85% of Catholic school graduates attend college.
