St. Mary’s students get a hands-on education in which teachers give individualized instruction that helps Pirates flourish.

Come see for yourself why our 1:11 teacher-student ratio is just one of many reasons students thrive at St. Mary’s.

St. Mary’s athletics are about so much more than the scoreboard. They’re about fellowship, dedication, resilience, and integrity. From these values, results follow.

There are still plenty of opportunities to support Pirate athletes this year. Be sure to check out a spring athletic event. Go Pirates!

She also led the aeronautics department for Unmanned Aerial Systems at the Air Force Academy, among many other accomplishments. Thank you, Colonel Suplisson! We can’t wait to host you again.
