St. Mary's Elementary School is an Accredited Coeducational Catholic Parish School. Through spiritual, intellectual, physical and social guidance, we strive to develop lifelong learners. In cooperation with the family and Catholic community, St. Mary's Elementary School seeks to foster and model Christian values founded in Love of God, Self and Others.
A fundamental objective of the school is to make available a Catholic education. An essential part of the educational program is furthering the knowledge and nurturing a deep sense of value of the Catholic Faith. Another basic objective of the school is, through the development of excellent academic programs and encouraging social surroundings, to provide an environment, which is conducive to both the student's academic growth and self-discipline. Inherent throughout the educational program is the advancement of positive attitudes toward all the races, sexes, and creeds.
The Catholic education received at school can never substitute for the education received in the home. It can only build on those good and lasting values continually demonstrated by parental example.
Through spiritual, intellectual, physical and social guidance, we strive to develop lifelong learners.
To support the stated objectives, certain policies, rules and guidelines have been developed by St. Mary's Elementary School. The guidelines which have been adopted that pertain to admission to the school and the annual re-admission are stated below:
St. Mary's has a principal obligation to parishioners who are practicing Catholics. Therefore, regarding admission, preference will be given to children of parents who are practicing Catholics. New parishioners are expected to submit a letter from their former pastor stating that they are practicing Catholics.
