Father's Welcome

Dear Everyone:

Welcome to St. Mary's Catholic School website.

We would like to share some valuable and exciting news about St. Mary's School! St. Mary's is both AdvancEd accredited and fully accredited by the state of Nebraska. All of our teachers are State-Certified and average 20 years of experience! Many of our faculty hold Masters Degrees with additional hours in education. They offer a lot of individual attention and TLC!

St. Mary's School is well rounded in every way! We offer our students classes inTechnology, Spanish, Art, and Media, in addition to Physical Education and Music. It is important to note that we have access to Special Education Services such as Resource and Speech and Language support. Students may also participate in a High Ability Learners program. We are fortunate to have a Certified School Counselor as part of our faculty.

Our focus on a "faith-based" education is very clear! The mission and vision of St. Mary's School are woven throughout the curriculum and the school is committed to providing a Christ-centered education for each child. The Sacramental preparations, school liturgies, prayer services, and emphasis on service learning help to build a strong faith foundation!

The school was dedicated in August of 1948 and the first teachers were Dominican Sisters from Louisville, Kentucky. From the beginning, students have received the highest quality instruction in all aspects of learning. Our current faculty and staff are proud to continue this tradition of excellence in all things.

Our Parish strives to make a Catholic School education available to all students! Please visit with us if you have financial concerns!

I invite you to come and take a tour, speak to our staff and students, or visit with me personally about how you can get involved with our school and parish community.

Peace and blessings,

Father Del Lape
