Kathy and Karlo Etten
"Our favorite part of St. Mary's School is that their faculty and staff are committed to every one of the students. They promote a caring, respectful, and safe environment that is felt the moment you walk through the doors. St. Mary's prepares students to be responsible individuals with Christian values. Academically, our children have been given a wonderful education. They are well prepared to enter high school, but there is a lot more to St. Mary's: weekly Mass with the whole school, athletic teams to compete with classmates, team-building activities, traditions of Christmas programs, and 8th-grade graduation.
You cannot match the level of caring, spiritual growth, character, and family atmosphere shown to each student and family by the staff at St. Mary's School."

"When making the decision to enroll our children at St. Mary's School, it was the small class sizes and individualized attention from teachers and staff that first caught our attention. While the low student to staff ratio can't be beat, it quickly became clear that it is the social-emotional culture at St. Mary's that is the real show stopper. The administration and staff share a love for children and find joy in the role they play all their lives, while classmates life one another up. From the all-school morning prayer to the end of the week team building activities, to the the encouragement to know the Lord and the emphasis on service to the community, support for the development of strong character is evident. As a non-Catholic family, we have always received a warm welcome and our children have never been made to feel left out or less than! Being a St. Mary's alumni, I am thrilled to see that the learning environment that helped me develop into the person I am today has only been enhanced over the years!"

Jordan and Alicia Blaufuss
"We chose St. Mary's because it provides a nurturing environment where our 1st grader and preschooler not only learn academics but also grow in faith and values.
We also love our family ties to St. Mary's, with Jordan being alumni and the boys' grandma being a former teacher at the school. The caring teachers and staff ensure a supportive community, fostering both educational excellence and spiritual development. It's truly a place where children thrive!"

Nikki and Paul Vig
Making the decision to enroll our children at St. Mary’s School is one that I am extremely happy we made. We were looking for a positive change for our children and that is exactly what we got at St. Mary’s. The staff and administration go above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We are non-Catholic but are not treated any differently. It is very important to us that our children attend church and learn the love of God. They are still allowed to do that being non-Catholic. Being greeted every morning with a smile and “fist bump” is something they look forward to. Our children have excelled tremendously in just one year. We look forward to our future with St. Mary’s!

Belinda and Tyler Slettedahl
When we made the decision to enroll our children at St. Mary's, we were searching for a nurturing and secure environment for them to grow and learn. Little did we know that this choice would prove to be life-changing for our entire family. The transition from public school to St. Mary's has opened up countless opportunities for our children, as well as for us as parents.
Not only does St. Mary's provide an exceptional education, but the emphasis on values rooted in Christianity has truly made a difference in our lives. The welcoming atmosphere of the staff, parents, and students has made our transition smooth and effortless. The sense of community here is like no other, and we feel truly blessed to be a part of it.
We love that St. Mary's instills a strong sense of giving back to the community in our children. It's heartwarming to see them understand the importance of being part of something bigger than themselves. The focus on community here is truly special, and it's something we haven't experienced anywhere else.
We feel grateful that our family was led to St. Mary's, and we're excited to continue growing and learning in this loving and supportive environment.
We are confident that this decision was the best one for our family, and we look forward to the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead at St. Mary's Catholic School. Thank you to everyone who has made us feel so welcomed and at home here. We are truly fortunate to be a part of the St. Mary's family."
