Background

St. Mary's School was founded in 1900 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, who at the time were based in Buffalo, New York, but would soon move to Stella Niagara in nearby Lewiston, New York. During this period, the sisters were active in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Colorado. In 1886 they went to Dakota Territory to begin mission work to the Lakota in what would later become South Dakota. They turned their attention to children, coming to O'Neill in 1900. In 1908 they were invited to teach at St. Agnes Academy in Alliance, Nebraska. [3]

St. Mary's athletic teams have won a total of ten state championships. The football team has won three times, in 1957, 1984, and 2002. The volleyball team has been state champions twice, in 2013 and 2014; girls' track and field twice, in 2013 and 2014.
