From Our Principal

Dear Friend,

The community of St. Mark School welcomes you to its website! As a virtual visitor you will have an opportunity to catch a glimpse of our school experience. Our programs are strong, our students are enthusiastic, and our teachers are committed to nurturing the best attributes in our children.

In every grade, we foster the growth and development of the whole person. Religious education and its formation of responsible young adult Catholics is the foundation of our parish school. As an academic institution, St. Mark School is dedicated to designing an individualized program of success for each child. Careful planning of classes allows for every child to be known and loved, while providing a broad range of learning opportunities in academics, extracurriculars, service, and leadership.

Additionally, the St. Mark's School difference involves parents being active partners in their child's education. We do not simply enroll a student; we enroll a family. Recognizing parents as the primary educators of children, St . Mark School supports, supplements, and enriches your family life.

Be sure to explore the website. Tour the school. Ask questions. Become a part of St. Mark School family.... A place where Christ is loved, academic excellence is expected, character counts, and traditions thrive!

Thank you for visiting!

Many Blessings,

Dr. Noreen Dillon
Principal, St. Mark School
