Admissions

Welcome to St. Mary's Catholic School
 

St. Mary's Catholic School is proud to continue the tradition of education that began over 160 years ago. We are a school community which fosters the growth and formation of each student, both in the classroom and in life. We believe in living out our mission statement to, “inspire a lifelong love of God and service to neighbor.”



We encourage you to explore our website and give us a call to schedule a private tour. We know that once you enter the doors and make your way around our school, your family will be home.

Please know that we are here to serve and support your family as you begin this journey. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Susan Nixon, Registrar or Kaitlyn Burg, Director of Development. Thank you for your time and this opportunity. God bless you and your family. 

Eligibility

St. Mary’s Catholic School accepts students from any religion, race, creed or national origin. Enrollment priority is given to siblings of currently enrolled students and to registered families of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. The school will provide students with disabilities with an opportunity for an education. However, if St. Mary’s is not capable of providing the necessary facilities, the student will be referred to other schools and programs which have the ability to effectively educate the disabled person.

The Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED) requires that a child must meet the following age requirements for admission:

3K (Pre-Kindergarten) – 3 years of age on or before September 1st
4K (Pre-Kindergarten) – 4 years of age on or before September 1st
5K (Kindergarten) – 5 years of age on or before September 1st
1st Grade – 6 years of age on or before September 1st

Current students

In early February all current students will be enrolled for the next school year and charged a $150 fee per family, unless the school office is informed of a change in plans.
