History

After the diocese raised $150,000 in pledges, construction of St. Mary's first school began in February 1953. The first school contained eight classrooms, a kitchen, and a hall. In addition, a convent was constructed to house the School Sisters of St. Francis, who served as the first teachers. By 1960 an additional 10 classrooms were added.

About 1980, due to the decline in the number of sisters, the convent was closed. [2]

In 2012, three students from St. Mary's competed in the Future City Engineering Competition and won the national title. [3]

The school is supported by the commitment of numerous parents and community members who volunteer regularly. [4]
