"Getting a sound elementary education is so important to a child's future. The things the school does to build character, discipline, and responsibility are invaluable. I would recommend SMS to young families in Worthington and the surrounding area."

"St. Mary's provided the foundation, in conjunction with my parents, for the moral basis of my life. My thirst for knowledge can only be attributed to those early years at SMS."
