Something I really like about my experience about St.Mary's Central High School is that we are one big community. I enjoy the small classes and being able to form relationships with the teachers and administration.

St. Mary's provided me with a good high school education. I was involved heavily in sports and was fortunate enough to go on and play at the college level. Bismarck ND is a lovely place to raise a family. I attended the old high school and was the in the last graduating class before they moved to a brand new facility. The new facility is amazing.
