Why St. Mary’s:
I have enjoyed teaching at St. Mary’s since 1968. The family spirit embraces all that enter its doors. It’s been a place to call a second home and provided my son with a wonderful education that has served him well. I couldn’t be more proud than to be a teacher at St. Mary’s High School.
