Philosophy

Understanding that the highest priority of St. Mary's Episcopal School is to educate youth, the St. Mary's athletic program strives to complement the scholastic programs. The primary objective of the athletic program is the continuing development of the student athletes' character, integrity, and sportsmanship. Each sport provides an opportunity for teaching and developing an athlete's personal skills/goals and physical growth as well as understanding the importance of cooperation and teamwork.
