Background

St. Mary's High School was established in 1881 as Saint Mary's Boys High School. [2] A Girl's High School was added later, followed by coeducation. In 1989 the school began a junior high school starting with a 7th grade class only, with an 8th grade class added the following year. The junior high school added a 6th grade class in 2011 after Massachusetts moved to a middle school education model. Beginning in the 2023 school year they added an elementary and early education division to the school. St. Mary's Lynn now serves students from Pre-K - 12.

St. Mary's incorporated in 2006 as a private school, independent from the Archdiocese of Boston, and instituted a new governance structure with a head of school, principal, and twenty-member Board of Trustees, thus ending its period as a parochial school.

Athletics

St. Mary's teams include:

The St. Mary's Girls Ice Hockey team went a perfect 25–0 in 2007-2008 season. The girls then repeated this feat plus one to go 26–0 in the 2008-2009 season. In addition, they went through the 2009-2010 season undefeated with one tie. The result: 100 consecutive games without a loss over three years before a loss to Hingham in the state semi-finals, and three Massachusetts Division 1 State Titles. [3]

Miscellaneous

The former Girls High School building was demolished in 2005 to make way for the state-of-the-art William F. Connell Center, which provides a library, technology center, chapel, and classrooms.

Students are encouraged to participate in Christian service activities, such as Rachel's Challenge, Sant' Edigio, and assisting at My Brother's Table, a local food pantry.
