Welcome to St. Mary's Catholic School:

Elementary & Middle

Having served the greater Lawton area and the Ft. Sill community for over 100 years, St. Mary's, as the only accredited private school in Lawton has so much to offer. Come by, or call for an appointment and tour anytime.

A Learning Community of Faith

As we read in the 12th chapter of St. Paul's letter to the Romans: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed...

Here at St. Mary's we offer accredited Catholic Education with high academic stadards along with moral and spiritual Christian formation to foster growth in children as life-long learners: Pre-Kindergarten 4 through 5th grade for our Elementary students and 6th through 8th grade in our Middle School.

Our students are challenged to grow in soul, mind and body within a Christian environment informed by the 2,000 year traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church.

How is a Catholic education different…why a Catholic school?

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

(Pr 22:6)

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

(St. Teresa of Avila)

Catholic education is different because every day God blesses us with wonderful teachers and staff, great friends and classmates, and so much of God's grace.  Catholic education gives me hope and feelings of joy and happiness.  ~Emily, 7^th grade

What We Do

“The future of humanity lies in the hands of those who are strong enough to provide coming generations with the reasons for living and hoping… educational programs for the young must strive to teach doctrine, to do so within the experience of Christian community, and to prepare individuals for effective Christian witness and service to others.”       

(From the NCCB document: TO TEACH AS JESUS DID: A Pastoral Message on Catholic Education)
