Thank you for considering St. Mary’s Parish School as the educational family for your child. It is within a familial environment where a child is known, loved and nurtured, that s/he thrives emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and physically. St. Mary’s recognizes that you, the parents, are the primary educators of your child and we would be honored to assist you in your ministry of parenting and educating.
Our integrated curriculum, from pre-school (3-year-old) through 8th grade, has a mission of growing Disciples of Christ. A major focus of our curriculum is learning to grow, work, and thrive as a community of learners in a Christ-centered environment. From kindergarten on, students serve as leaders at the school Mass on Wednesdays where they learn to speak, gain confidence in front of people, and know they are loved by God. In helping our community learn to be present to God in our very busy lives, each day, the entire school takes a few minutes at 12:30 pm where they sit quietly, close their eyes, and listen to and reflect on God’s presence in their lives.
We start each day with an “All-School Assembly” where we recognize your child on their birthday or half birthday with a blessing, recognition of their gifts and talents, and a book that s/he has chosen that goes into the library in your child’s name. We say the Pledge of Allegiance, prayers, and engage children in community. Your child (whether a 3-year-old through 8th grade) becomes known, valued, and loved by everyone in the school. Service, looking to help others, is an important part of our curriculum.

Parent FormsThe St. Mary’s School Foundation Endowment Fund began in 1980 with $30,000, and is now (2019) valued close to two million dollars. All earnings on money given to the Foundation help fund the operational expenses for St. Mary’s Parish School. The explicit goal of the St. Mary’s Foundation is to help St. Mary’s School keep tuition costs low so that as many students as possible can experience a Catholic education.
