Congratulations to every member of Saint Mary’s Class of 2022. Monarchs forever you will be.

Two weeks ago we were staring at their baby photos and now in the blink of an eye they are ready for high school. We’ve compiled some stats below regarding our graduating students’ applications vs. their final enrollment commitments.

Our graduating class applied for admission to a total of 18 different high schools, but where did they decide to enroll?

Trinity High School (2 students)
St. Catherine’s School (2 students)
The Steward School (2 students)
Father Ryan High School (1) in Nashville, TN

The remaining 10 students, representing 20% of the graduating class, have chosen to attend their locally zoned public high schools:

Glen Allen High School (3 students)
J.R. Tucker High School (2 students)
Deep Run High School (1 student)
Patrick Henry High School (1 student)

Election Day Resources & Reminders

By Katie Botha • October 31, 2024

Faithful Citizenship Resources In anticipation of Election Day on November 5, the Virginia Catholic Conference has prepared voter education resources to help Catholics confidently vote with an informed conscience. Those resources can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's website . School Day Reminders This year, Election Day is a regular school day with a regular bell schedule at Saint Mary's Catholic School. In prior years, it has coincided with Parent-Teacher Conferences resulting in a day-off for students; however, that is not the case this school year. Many of our students across all grade levels are aware of the importance of Election Day. We anticipate the days leading up to Election Day and those following it will provide topics of conversation that students may choose to engage in both inside and outside the classroom. If necessary, our teachers may offer age-appropriate explanations of the day's events and results. As family members, we encourage you to guide your children as they navigate their thoughts and feelings over the coming weeks and months.
