Tracy Borgardt - Graduate of St. Mary’s, mother of four St. Mary students, and St. Mary Home & School President

“My catholic school education at St Mary and Pius XI built the foundation for my entire life. Although I didn't realize it at the time the subtle lessons that were taught inside and outside the classroom helped me develop who I was going to be both mentally and spiritually. I appreciate the gift of Catholic school education my parents gave to all five of us. As a parent I now see the sacrifices they made for us, to give us something so important. Our four children are the third generation of Catholic primary and secondary education and we proudly pass this gift to them!”

Heather White - Graduate of St. Mary’s, class of 2003, Junior at Catholic Memorial High School
