St. Mary's 

Assumption School

Cottonport, LA

 

The ultimate goal of St. Mary’s is to serve the people in Avoyelles Parish by providing their children with quality Catholic formation and education. Because parents from surrounding communities choose to send their children to St. Mary’s, the school strives to serve their interests in as much as those same interests correspond with the school’s mission. The total educational and spiritual development of the child is the primary focus of the school. Our goal here at St. Mary’s is to ensure that each child attending the school will grow to his/her maximum potential. In order to attain our mission as a Catholic school, we strive to adhere strictly to the Catholic philosophy of education and to provide an environment in which excellence can prevail.

Please pay close attention to the start up day, Veteran's Day holiday, Christmas holiday start date, and Easter.  Be sure you follow the calendar that has the date of 6/1/18 in the upper right hand corner.

St. Mary's offers after school care for students from 3:00-5:00 pm. Children are given time to complete their homework while in after school care. Please click on the following link for program options:
