St. Mary Our Mother School

Saint Mary Our Mother School is committed to providing an excellent Catholic elementary education, pre-school through grade six.

We provide small classes in a warm, nurturing environment with dedicated teachers who help to guide students spiritually, academically and morally.

Founded in 1959 as an educational ministry of the parish of Saint Mary Our Mother, our school warmly welcomes children of all faiths to be part of our school family.

The school is a faith-community working towards fostering the dignity of the person and responding to the need for justice and peace in our global society.

Saint Mary Our Mother educates the whole person by sharing with the parents their responsibility to foster spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth in their children.

Our sound, quality education will enable those who attend our school to acquire the competency needed to function as effective leaders.

Through the development of Christian principles based on the Gospel message, each child is nurtured with the values needed to be contributing citizens in their future communities.
