At Saint Mary - Collinwood, we seek to prepare our students to hear, proclaim, and translate into action the message of hope contained in the Gospel. We look to accomplish these goals through excellence in education, and emphasis on seeking and valuing truth, the institution of self discipline, the establishment of a real relationship with Jesus Christ, and the staff modeling of the virtues of peace, justice, and mercy in our relationship with others. St. Maryís School believes each child is created by God in Godís image and is called by Baptism into Godís family, the church. We also affirm the role of parents as the childís first teacher and we seek to work with and involve parents in the formation and education of their children.
