All About Our School by Caroline (Adapted from Edline)


St. Mary’s School has a healthy learning environment, a great religious
community, and an irreplaceable friendship between students, classmates,
and faculty.

History:

• St. Mary’s School opened on September 13, 1954.

• By the 1960’s, enrollment had increased to 350 students in first through eighth grades

• In the 1970’s, St. Mary’s was one of the first schools in the Diocese of San Jose to utilize educational television. The Country Fair was established as an annual event.


• In the early 1990’s, enrollment was at capacity with a waiting list in most
grades. The finance committee developed a five-year budget plan.

 In general, St. Mary’s boasts of a
parish school which has a proud tradition of Christian community, Gospel
service, academic excellence, and family centered education.
