Philosophy: 

Rooted in the Benedictine tradition upon which St. Mary’s Catholic School was established, we exist to provide the best academic and spiritual formation for all.  Placing God first in our lives and loving others as we love others as we love ourselves, we endeavor to teach the gospel message by modeling it for our students so that they will worship more genuinely and embrace lives of service within our community.

St. Mary's Catholic School recognizes that each child is a precious gift from God, challenged by Christ's call to use his/her talents to proclaim the Good News and to serve others.  The school's purpose is to lay the foundation for young people to make choices rooted in the teachings of the Gospel.  Through Christ's message children are given the tools to become active disciples and Christians in society.

Objectives:

• Inspire Christian values and respect for others.
• Stimulate a love for learning and intellectual capacity.
• Acquaint children with church teachings and gospel values.
• Nurture and foster the diverse gifts of each child.
• Form a community that teaches respect, compassion, and service.

School Accreditation:

St. Mary's School is accredited by the Oklahoma Conference of Catholic Schools Accrediting Association which is recognized by the Oklahoma State Department of Education.  St. Mary's is a member of the National Catholic Education Association.
