St Mary School Mission Statement

The mission of St Mary School is to develop the God-given talents of
our students spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually.
As members of the Catholic community, and as individuals, we are
empowered to proclaim and live the Gospel message of Christ Jesus.

To implement this mission, we can identify specific goals we wish to accomplish in our School effort.

• The Word of God in their hearts:
     a thorough knowledge of Scripture
      in-depth knowledge of Catholic doctrine
      familiarity with Church history
      clear understanding of Catholic morality, both personal and social
      awareness of the mystery of sin and the call to repentance
• Worship life
      a developed prayer life, both personal and liturgical
      a healthy self-concept and a strong bonding to the community of the Church
• A life of Christian service
     discernment of a personal vocation for the Kingdom of God rather than a life of purely
              materialistic gain
      an active concern for social justice
      a preferential option for the poor
• Academic and physical development
      high standards in a liberal arts curriculum of language, communication
              skills, mathematics, literature and the arts
      a strong science curriculum grounded on a responsible stewardship of the earth
      a social studies curriculum that prepares students to participate actively and
              responsibly in political and social life
      development of physical well-being and an appreciation of self-worth through
              recreational and competitive sports
