Mission Statement:

Saint Mary High School is a Catholic co-educational secondary school whose mission is to develop the inherent abilities of its students to think independently, communicate effectively and solve problems creatively.

Philosophy:

The teachings of Jesus instruct us to respect the dignity and sacredness of the individual, direct us to accept stewardship by developing our abilities, call us to serve the needs of others and invite us to build the kingdom of God in our world.

Saint Mary High School, a faith community of students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators accepts the challenge of these teachings and endeavors through its mission and philosophy to give them tangible form.

It is the responsibility of each member of the community to create an affirming, positive and open environment in which all may benefit from the opportunities for spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical growth. The primary channel for these opportunities is the educational process. Our faculty and staff use their knowledge and experience to nurture the intellectual curiosity of their students. By challenging, guiding and modeling, the staff encourages students to be self disciplined, to respect the rights of others, and to appreciate the diversities which exist within the community. Saint Mary High School offers college preparatory classes and honors classes to further academic development, with about 6 honors classes and 4 advanced placement classes.

Saint Mary High School places strong emphasis on the development of the whole person by providing experiences that foster an awareness of self. A full range of courses and activities offers the students opportunities to help them discover their individual potentials and enables them to become leaders. Saint Mary's also offers some 20 non extracurricular activities. Athletically, Saint Mary is a member of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) and competes in the NJSIAA Non-Public Group B Division. Saint Mary is also a member of the Bergen County Scholastic National/Olympic Division.
