The moment I first stepped into the St. Mary’s environment, I knew this was where I was meant to be. You can feel the atmosphere of faith, family, and fun as soon as you walk through the door. St. Mary’s has something no other school can duplicate. I am proud to teach in a place with such supportive parents and staff. During a time of bad news, a student said, “We should pray!” That says it all.
