St. Mary's Strategic Plan

The current St. Mary's Strategic five year strategic plan was created in the 2017-2018 school year.  It is the result of feedback, research and hard work of school administration, parents, staff, students and parishioners.  This is a living plan that will be updated as goals are accomplished and new goals added.  The plan aligns with the Archdiocese of Washington Plan.

Belief Statements : The Nature of Relationships

We believe that:

• Parents bear by divine right the primary responsibility for the education of their children.
• Parents who choose a Catholic school are asking and expecting the teachers to be partners with them in the educational endeavor.
• The spiritual climate of a school is one of its most important attributes. It should be characterized at all times and in all ways by care and kindness.
• A school should be a place in which people are able to accept mistakes and to correct them without harsh criticism.
• A sound educational environment must be one in which students experience real freedom from fear.
• Smiles and hugs are important

Belief Statements : The Nature of the Process

We believe that:

• Education is essentially a spiritual endeavor; the spiritual well-being of students must be the highest priority.
• Students have the best chance of flourishing academically, socially, and emotionally when the highest priority is honored.
• One of the most important tasks of Christian educators is helping students discover their own gifts and find the spheres in which they can make their most meaningful contributions.
• All members of the school community must seek to validate the beauty within all children so that they never doubt the importance of their own existence.
• All programs and materials should be evaluated in the light of gospel values.
