St. Mary of the Annunciation School embraces its mission to teach our students Christian values and foster their spiritual, academic, emotional and social development.
We nurture our students to develop their unique God-given talents, to lead faith-filled lives, and to serve others with compassion and purpose.
St. Mary of the Annunciation School is an integral part of the Saint Mary parish community. From the parish, it looks for prayers, support, guidance, Christian witness, and opportunities for meaningful involvement. To the parish, it provides prayers, support, strength, hope for the future, example, and willing service. Each enriches and is enriched by the other.
St. Mary of the Annunciation School Staff, in partnership with the parents who are primary educators of their children, seeks to assist and guide the children to become faith-filled, knowledgeable, and active members of the Church and local communities.
As a Catholic Christian faith community, St. Mary School strives to provide an environment in which families, staff, and students may actively worship God. Together we evangelize by spreading the Gospel message through word and example. We call the children to the realization of their Baptismal commitment in service of God and their neighbor.
St. Mary of the Annunciation also offers a strong academic curriculum. The curriculum content is meaningful, flexible, and contemporary, reflecting the evolution of knowledge in a century of rapid change. Learning experiences emphasize the "Whole Child" by helping the student to become self-directed, curious, able to solve problems, and motivated to continue to learn.
St. Mary of the Annunciation Parish is located in a rural setting and draws families from a variety of areas. St. Mary of the Annunciation School seeks to build community among staff and students. This community wishes to provide an atmosphere in which all can belong and share, in which all can freely love and be loved, and in which each can develop his/her own unique gifts.
