St mary's catholic high school is a fine school for those only concerned with general academics and in practicing the catholic faith.

I really enjoyed my school. The staff and the teachers really do care about your education and want you to always succeed. The liberal arts education for St Mary's really do prepare for you and make the student learn about many things especially with philosophy and also strengthen your relationship with God.

Great. The academics and the faith aspect go hand in hand really well. Whatever I learn in history has to do with what I'm learning in Theology. The only things that need work is we need new computers and AC IN THE GYM. PLEASE.

There is behavior that is not conducive to a Christian conduct, and the discipline is nothing. I feel i...
