Our History
-
The Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur founded Saint Maria Goretti Catholic School in 1954 and provided all the principals and many of our teachers for SMG's first 36 years. The moral guidance, Catholic atmosphere, and expectation of academic excellence they instilled are very much a part of our educational experience at SMG. We are forever grateful to these special women and owe their religious community a tremendous debt of gratitude.

So, Why Saint Maria Goretti?
-
Saint Maria Goretti is the perfect choice for your children if you want them to grow up to be True, Good, and Beautiful Catholic adults.
We expose our students to a sense of the Catholic identity by modeling daily engagement and making the images, icons, symbols, and physical elements of the Catholic faith come to life. Our students understand the purpose and intent of Catholic traditions and learn how they are essential in building a rich, close relationship with God.
Students at Saint Maria Goretti Catholic School participate in formal prayer and are encouraged to pray spontaneously throughout their day. We encourage them to pray actively, but also to reflect and listen for God’s call.
