Message from the Principal

Welcome to St. Mary School! We are a 3K-8th grade building, bound by our academics, our worship, and our service. Our new website offers just a glimpse of this! We invite you to look around.

We believe St. Mary School is a pretty special place. It starts with our dedication to the Lord - our days begin and end in prayer, and our students find ways to serve Him and others each day. Our staff is warm and friendly, with dedicated teachers who care about the success of every child who enters this building. Moreover, we understand that the education of a child is truly a collaborative process. The role of a parent is significant in a child's education, and communication between school and family is important to us.
Whether you are familiar with our school or not, if you have not been here in awhile, we invite you to reach out for a tour and witness the learning, laughter, and love that is found within our walls.
Mrs. Stacia Kohlstedt, Principal

St. Mary's School
