St. Mary School exists primarily to serve those parish families who opt to provide a Catholic education for their children. Students learn and grow in a purposeful Christian atmosphere with special emphasis on parent support and participation.

Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy

St. Mary School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

In order to assure that the school programs are the best placement for a child and to assist teachers in meeting the needs of each child, the school reserves the right to evaluate students prior to admission. This may include written/oral testing and/or examination of records from previous schools. Students may be admitted on a probationary status due to learning and/or behavioral concerns. Probationary contracts will be in writing and will be signed by a school representative (ordinarily the Principal) and the parent/legal guardian.

Exceptions to the above regulations may be considered after consultation with the Principal and the teacher.
