St. Mary Catholic School 2020

 St. Mary Catholic School, Royal Oak, Michigan

How do we know a school is outstanding?

• When the principal is the first person to greet us.
• When students ask questions we have not heard before.
• When students are engaged and interested in learning.
• When teachers stay during a presentation and listen intently.

Our visit to St. Mary had checks in all of these boxes. 70% of teachers hold Master’s degrees in Education.

Gabriela Bala, Principal remarks:
“When we walk into the classrooms, we see in the children’s faces what we love about St. Mary School . . . happy children who feel safe, appreciated, and loved! St. Mary Catholic School provides the environment necessary to produce well-educated young minds and spiritually-motivated children of God.” 
These are not simply wish words. We saw this firsthand.

Congratulations to St. Mary Catholic School! — thank you for inviting us into your special world.
