1. We believe in teaching as Jesus did by:
a) Announcing the Message revealed by God which the Catholic Church proclaims
b) Building a community of faith in the life of the Holy Spirit according to the teaching of Christ and His Church
c) Giving service to the entire community both secular and Christian.

2. We believe that prayer and worship is an essential part of our school identity especially the, Holy Mass, and that this atmosphere should encompass our thoughts, words, and actions in all that we do.

3. We believe that every individual is a unique human being created in God’s image who deserves acceptance, respect, dignity, and freedom. Because of this our school strives to promote an atmosphere of tolerance and love.

4. We believe that Christian justice should be evident in all of our dealings with one another and with our students.

5. We believe in forging strong relationships with one another and with our students. We honor the opinions of our students and their parents and believe that we are responsible in offering a quality Catholic education of a high caliber, and that we truly care about their well being.

6. We believe in providing a positive holistic experience here at St. Mary’s that is conducive to the education of the child and their perception of the Church.

7. We believe that the entire community is responsible to work together if this vision is to become a reality however each individual person must accept their responsibility as the maxim goes “It takes a village to raise a person.”
