At SMH, I’m able to take part in activities and take advantage of opportunities I probably would not have found anywhere else, I’ve been able to express myself in a way that is altogether unique to me, and I’ve been able to make deep connections with my classmates that will undoubtedly go beyond high school.

Saint Mary’s Hall is a community that cherishes its teachers and invests in our professional growth as content experts and discipline practitioners. Through the generous support of our school, I have had the privilege to attend and present at national and international conferences and visit museums and historical sites around the world. Saint Mary’s Hall awards grants for teachers to investigate new strategies and provides the space for us to introduce them into the classroom. This is the most collegial place to teach and the most empowering place to learn.

The close relationships I made with teachers at Saint Mary’s Hall shaped the way I now interact with professors at college. Saint Mary’s Hall gave me the confidence to express my thoughts intelligently and be a leader inside and outside the classroom.

The best part about Saint Mary’s Hall is its environment of support and positivity that gently propels students to new heights without forcing anything upon them. Plenty of schools place emphasis on independence – as does SMH – but students here know that to be independent is not to be isolated; rather, it is to be confident in one’s abilities, a confidence that is developed with the support of teachers and peers. SMH cultivates lifelong learners with an insatiable curiosity and teaches students that they should never compromise when it comes to pursuing their passions, and – most importantly – it teaches that there is always something new to be discovered.
