Josh Van UdenWelcome to a new school year at St. Mary’s School! Whether you are returning families or joining our community for the first time, we are thrilled to open our doors and welcome you to another year of learning, faith, and growth.

St. Mary’s is a Catholic-Christian environment where the teachings of Jesus and the dignity of the human person are central to everything we do. We are deeply proud to offer faith-based education and are grateful for the trust you place in us as your partner in raising and educating your children.

At its core, our philosophy is rooted in effective Christian character formation. We believe that classroom religious instruction must be lived out daily—where every subject in the curriculum and every student activity serves to build a true and complete Christian character. Guided by these values, our staff works passionately to create a safe, inclusive, and academically rich environment where every child can discover their unique, God-given gifts.

This year, our division’s faith plan invites us to "Open wide the doors," focusing specifically on our annual theme of Love. We are called to open our hearts to God’s grace and share that love with everyone who enters our school. As we embark on this journey, we encourage our students to strive for academic excellence, show genuine kindness, and live out this theme of love each day.

To support this mission, we deeply value the connection between home, school, and parish. We are especially excited to continue our close partnership with St. Augustine’s Parish, working alongside Fr. Philip and Deacon Brian to deepen the faith life of our school community.

Please keep an eye on our monthly newsletters and social media channels for updates on upcoming events, extracurricular opportunities, Masses, and faith celebrations.

Thank you again for trusting us with your children’s education. Let us pray for a blessed, safe, and inspiring school year ahead.

God bless,

Josh Van Uden

Principal, St. Mary’s School
