St. Mary's Catholic School strives for the continuous
formation of our students through a Catholic program
of education committed to a standard of excellence.
In following the teachings of Christ, St. Mary's 
Catholic School offers a unique, faith centered
community that integrates thinking and believing
in ways that encourage intellectual growth, nurture
faith, and inspire action.

 
        Why choose Catholic schools? 
· The Catholic school climate, mission, and purpose 
  positively impact student achievement and attendance
  (Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993).
· A faith-based orientation builds coherence and
  integration of schools and school community (Bryk,
  Lee, & Holland, 1993).
· Students demonstrate higher academic achievement
  in Catholic schools (Coleman, Hoffer, & Kilgore, 1982;
  Sander, 1996).
· Graduates of Catholic  high schools are more likely to 
  vote and earn higher wages (Dee, 2005; Neal, 1997).
· Catholic schools tend to produce graduates who are
  more civically engaged, more tolerant of diverse views,
  and more committed to service as adults (Campbell,
  2001; Wolf, Greene, Kleitz, & Thalhammer, 2001).
