Exciting Changes

Many changes will be seen and talked about when the students return to school on August 6th!  New carpet has been put in kindergarten and first grade rooms along with the upstairs hall and both stairwells, and new epoxy has been put on the first floor hall (thanks to PTA and the parish). 

We received a grant from the Archdiocese for new teacher work stations, a new server, and wireless capability throughout the school!  This will enable use to use tablets and iPads moving forward.  Several of each have been purchased for use in the school this year!

Have your child look for a very special piece of mail in mid-July.  This is a clue to him/her about the exciting first day of school this year.   


On behalf of the entire staff of St. Mary Catholic School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school.  As I begin my first year as principal, I come to St. Mary energized and deeply dedicated to making a positive impact on each and every child. It is my mission to help each student achieve success this year.  By setting high expectations and a commitment to excellence, we will give our students all the tools and resources necessary to be productive, Christian members of our community.

We are focusing our time and effort this year on technology, academic proficiency, professional development, and becoming faith-filled creations of God.  We have added two resource aides, tablets for remediation, wireless capability throughout the school, and a new math book adoption just to name a few.  In addition, we have revised the discipline policy and dress code.  So many new and exciting things are taking place for the 2014-15 school year.  These changes will truly benefit everyone associated with the school.

St. Mary Catholic School has a rich tradition of excellence and I aim to live up to the high level of success that has been set by so many great educators, parents, pastors and students who have preceded me.  I am truly blessed to be part of this wonderful learning community and I look forward to working with each and every one of you this year and for many years in the future.
