“When we speak of education, we think of the information we need to learn in order to move on to our next phase in life. With St. Mary's that information is delivered by a faculty of leaders who possess the wisdom, leadership and values to teach it in such a way that students will remember and utilize that information to better not only their lives, but the lives of many others.” -Andy Hannigan, Class of 2002
