Learn who we are

Making the world a better place.

Saint Mary’s rich history is rooted in our Lasallian Catholic heritage. It’s focused on faith, authentic community, education, service to the poor, and upholding the dignity of each person. This is manifest in providing an education that fosters the holistic development of each student, being innovative in our offerings, and inspiring individuals to lead and live by example.

In the spirit of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, Saint Mary’s is committed to awaken, nurture, and empower all learners at every stage of life, preparing them to live lives of service and ethical leadership. 

“Example makes a much greater impression on the mind and heart than words.” 
  –  Saint John Baptist de La Salle
