About St. Mary's Catholic School
Founded in 1948,
St. Mary’s School is one of
the oldest, most
successful traditional Catholic schools in the valley. With over 60
years of experience in enabling students achieve
their personal best,
we are proud to say we challenge all our students to reach their full
potential while developing values and a rich faith life.
We firmly believe that an investment in Catholic education is a
guaranteed investment in our future. With a fundamental
emphasis on the whole child, Catholic education –by its
nature—organically develops our children spiritually, academically and
socially; leaving them well-prepared for life success and fulfillment.
And results conclusively show that an investment in Catholic education
is a blue-chip investment in our future.
Research tells us that... Catholic school graduates are more tolerant of diverse views, are more likely to vote, are more likely to be civically engaged, and even earn higher wages than their public school peers. And no system of schools achieves this success with such dramatic economic efficiency, typically educating students at less than half of the cost of neighboring public and charter schools.
