Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St. Mary School in Bethel, where faith, learning, and community come together to nurture the growth of every child. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the traditions of Catholic education, our school is dedicated to forming students who grow academically, spiritually, and socially in a caring and supportive environment.

At St. Mary School, we believe that education is most meaningful when it develops the whole child. Our students are encouraged to pursue academic excellence while deepening their relationship with God, strengthening their character, and learning the importance of service to others. Through daily prayer, faith formation, and a challenging academic program, we strive to prepare students to become thoughtful leaders and compassionate members of their communities.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to creating a safe, engaging, and inspiring learning environment. They work tirelessly to support each student’s individual strengths and needs, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

We also recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children. At St. Mary School, we are proud to partner with families to support students in their educational and spiritual journeys. Together, we foster a strong sense of community where respect, kindness, and faith guide our daily interactions.

St. Mary School has a long tradition of excellence and a vibrant spirit that reflects the values of our parish and community. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside our students as they grow in knowledge, faith, and service.

Thank you for your interest in St. Mary School. We invite you to learn more about our community and discover how a Catholic education at St. Mary can help your child thrive.

Warm regards,
Jason M. Ford
Principal, St. Mary School
