Hear what Lancer Families have to say about St. Mary’s:

 

Vito Gallo, 2020

"I am looking forward to my high school experience, and following on in my family's footsteps. My parents, aunts, uncles, and my siblings have all attended SMH and I think that St. Mary's will give me a strong academic foundation as a freshman. I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends!"

 

 

Karen Murty - SMH Parent (Shannon Murty '18, Brendan Murty '20, Aidan Murty '22)

"I am so grateful to [Kevin Kelleher, Head of School] for leading our children's paths through St. Mary's High School! So many great kids are graduating out of St. Mary's now, and it's a result of [Kevin's] vision coming to fruition. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to all of the families! We are so happy to be a part of it!"

"Shannon is thriving at University of Rochester! Between getting to pursue her music passions at the Eastman School of Music and her academic passions of math and science through her chemical engineering major, we are amazed at what she is doing while achieving Dean's List!"

"We can't wait for Brendan to start his journey at Syracuse University! He got a full ride because of St. Mary's! Literally everything my kids are now able to do is a result of their formation at St. Mary's. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Mr. Mauro, English Teacher / Men's Hockey Manager

"St. Mary's High School has been a home to me since my entire family graduated from here. As a teacher for the last 16 years, being a Catholic high school educator has been rewarding and enriching to my career. SMH has a vibrant classroom setting, energetic activities, and a dynamic faith life throughout the year and beyond."

"I loved being involved at SMH in LAX, serving as the senior class Vice President, and becoming a member of NHS. I will be attending the University of Alabama, majoring in Biochemistry. I have loved my time at St. Mary’s and am truly appreciative of the support and guidance of the faculty and administration here. Without their encouragement, I don’t think I would be as prepared and confident as I am to go away to college."

Carmen Monaco - Current SMH Parent (Mikela '24 and Madison '24)

"My twin daughters seem to meet new friends every day! They always say how everyone is so welcoming and, honestly, they grin ear-to-ear when they talk about school. The transition to high school has been uplifting for our whole household and I could never be more grateful."
