Catholic education in Dover began in 1883 when the Sisters of Mercy opened the Sacred Heart School of girls and Saint Joseph School for boys. Through the ensuing century, the school's name has changed; other schools have begun, then merged. In 1989, the school was rededicated to Mary, the Mother of God, and renamed Saint Mary Academy. In 1999, the Kindergarten and Pre-K programs were moved to a newly renovated building on the corner of Locust Street and Church Street.
With Catholic Schools Week we are kicking off our Centennial Celebration. Saint Mary Academy has been in the current building since 1912. As our slogan says "Celebrating the Past - Believing in our Future" We are currently looking for alumni to participate in our events and celebrations planned for the next 365 days.
