Mission Statement
St. Mary’s Academy is a Catholic High School for young women, founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Together with the students’ families, the administration, faculty and staff are committed to forming a Catholic Christian community that nurtures and challenges each young woman to attain her full potential. This effort is consistently characterized by respect for the individual, service to the “dear neighbor,” academic excellence, preparation for higher education and the empowerment of young women who are inspired to take their places in an ever-changing world. Enriched by a tradition of quality academic and spiritual learning for 130 years, St. Mary’s has been an expression of the educational mission of the Catholic Church and an extension of the family. The distinctive characteristics of a St. Mary’s education are based in the conviction that a young woman finds character and expression in service to others. This education promotes the formation and integral development of young women
