St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, a private Catholic school, provides students in ninth through 12th grade with an environment where they can have a well-rounded spiritual, academic and emotional experience.
As the only Catholic high school in the state designated a Marianist-sponsored high school and STEM-designated school, St. Vincent-St. Mary offers a range of academic supports and programs, including college prep, Honors and Advanced Placement courses, a robust College Credit Plus program and dozens of clubs.
Using the science, technology, religion, engineering, art and math (STREAM) model, teachers at St. Vincent-St. Mary integrate research- and problem-based instruction with engineering courses available to all students.
The Fighting Irish are proud to engage in some of the most competitive athletic programs in the state, with notable alumni that include LeBron James, Parris Campbell and Brian Windhorst.
In 2013, LeBron James donated $1 million to the school, which was used to renovate the basketball arena. The upgrades to what is now known as the LeBron James Arena included the installation of a new basketball floor, scoreboard, locker rooms, bleachers and increased seating capacity.
A part of Akron for more than 100 years, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School is a fantastic option for those seeking a 21st-century educational experience centered on dynamic, hands-on learning approaches.

St.VM sent me to college far more prepared than any of my classmates. As well as taught me about competitive sports and fully prepared me for the next level of athletics. St.VM had lots of changing in the administration made it hard to keep traditions.

overall i enjoyed st vincent st mary but there are certain things that i do think could be changed to make the school better. for example i think they should change the house system and ask the students what they think would make it better.

We have had 2 kids go to STVM. Both have had a great experience. One didn't do sports but loved getting involved in leadership stuff. Our youngest got involved in sports and loved it. Teachers are wonderful.
