St. Mary's Catholic School

About

St. Mary’s Catholic School is a faith-centered PreK3–8th grade school dedicated to academic excellence, leadership development, service, and spiritual growth. Founded in 1897, St. Mary’s has a long tradition of fostering a nurturing Christian environment where students are encouraged to reach their full potential—spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.

With small class sizes, personalized instruction, and a dedicated, experienced faculty, every child receives the individual attention needed to succeed. The school is known for its strong balance of faith and academics, its commitment to community service, and a safe, welcoming campus that supports the whole student.

Serving families in Temple and the surrounding areas, St. Mary’s offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and provides access to various tuition scholarships, including participation in the new TEFA program, which makes a Catholic education accessible to more families.
