Principal's Message

When parents are looking for a school for their children they have many important questions. Perhaps the most important is "What makes this the right school for my child?" I would like to share with you some of my thoughts about why you should consider Saint Mary Academy for your child.

First and foremost, St. Mary's provides a community for your family:

• A faith community
• A community of learners
• A community of families

In a world where we are so often fragmented by busy lives and overwhelming demands on our time and energy, this sense of community is so important. How comforting to know that your child is surrounded by caring, nurturing adults who recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of your child. How wonderful to know that you can reach out to parents who share your values and belief system. How reassuring when you are confident that your goals and the school's goals are one and the same.

You also can be sure that at Saint Mary Academy your child will receive a solid academic foundation which will serve him well in years to come. In addition to academics, St. Mary's provides educations in the arts, opportunities to participate in athletics as well as a variety of extracurricular activities ranging from Knitting Club to Mock Trial. We have endless opportunities for parent involvement including special events such as the spring carnival and the Daddy-Daughter Dance, volunteering in the library and the cafeteria, chaperoning field trips, helping with classroom activities and many others.

I hope that, as you explore educational options for your child, you will give serious consideration to Saint Mary Academy. We welcome the opportunity to meet your family and share with you the reasons so many believe sending their family to St. Mary's was the best decision they made for their child.

May God Bless you and your family as you begin this new adventure.
