So long as you make friends it will be a fun experience here. Academics are good and faith is a big thing at this school, though you aren't rejected if you dont follow it. Main downside is that students dont have to many class field trips. Only two conducted by the school and one of those is for upperclassman only.

Saint Mary's is a very good school if you are a devout catholic. They teach a very good catholic curriculum. They do not prepare you as well for the math and sciences, however. I made life long friends and had opportunities i would not have at a big school. I was able to play whatever sport I wanted and make close connections to my teammates. The teacher, while sometimes not the best at explaining things, do care about your wellbeing and want what is best for each student.

I loved St. Mary's. I decieded to go because two of my brothers went and I saw how much they loved it. I did have options whether to go to St. Mary's or go to tolleson high school because it is my home town, but I just had a feeling that God called me to go to St. Mary's. St. Mary's really did help me to be closer to God and have a better relationship with Him. I had no regrets going too. I made amazing friends, had a great time playing baseball all four years there, and now dating the most perfect girl. I will miss St. Mary's. I had so many great memories during prom, homecoming, baseball and just being involved to games and clubs. I would never think abot changing at St. Mary's it was just a perfect experience of High school and i am going to truly miss it. They also helped me through the process of getting into college and what I have to do to succeed and get the best scholarships I can get for the college I want to go to.

Excellent Catholic High School! We wanted our sons to have a Catholic education that was more authentic and faithful to the Catholic Faith. There are other Catholic high schools in the Valley but all of them were very subpar on the Catholic dimension. The academics are excellent. Good balance betwee...

I am extremely disappointed in this current Saint Mary's. I had a very positive opinion but for the last 5 years, I must say it has not lived up to the standards. The discipline is out of control. There is behavior that is not conducive to a Christian conduct, and the discipline is nothing. I feel i...
