The school is working to maintain and grow St Mary's academic and athletic traditions
while slowly updating buildings, grounds and technology needed to be competitive in today's education market.
Choosing an educational path, young men and their families have choices.
St Mary's is in the running, offering great education at a reasonable price.
The school's aim moving forward is to have an even stronger positive influence on the south side;
educating and guiding its young men while helping to stabilize the neighborhood
by setting a high example and welcoming all to make use of its state of the art athletic facilities.

The term Renaissance was chosen because of the program objective;
a rebirth of St Mary's and of the South Side
a rebirth of St Mary's and of the South Side
Its alumni is one of St Mary's biggest strengths.
18% of St. Mary's Alumni contribute annually to the school.
Compared to 5-6% for alumni from other Catholic schools. We are far and away the best!

"St. Mary's" is a great answer to the St Louis question; "Where did you go to high school?"
You don't need a meeting or a special invitation to do what you know is right.
Please donate as you can to help the rebirth and to keep the tradition alive.
