Mt. St. Mary Academy

Mission Statement

Mt. St. Mary Academy, the educational ministry of St. Patrick Parish, was established in 1859. Our mission is to serve families primarily of the Catholic Communities of St. Patrick, St. Canice and St. Dominic as well as families of other faith traditions and surrounding communities. Recognizing that parents are the primary educators of their children, we collaborate to educate our students to achieve their potential in the areas of faith development, academic excellence, social awareness and emotional growth. We exist to inspire and motivate our students to recognize their call to be responsible, faith-filled leaders in the reality of today’s multicultural and diverse world.

Mt. St. Mary Academy students will be people who:

R REVERENCE the sacredness of all life and respect the dignity of

C CELEBRATE and worship as one parish/school faith community.

Y YEARN to make a difference in the world through service to others.
