Welcome to St. Mary's Catholic School:

Primary, Elementary, Middle and virtual Catholic High School

Having served the greater Lawton area and the Ft. Sill community for over 100 years, St. Mary's, as the only accredited Catholic school in southwest Oklahoma has so much to offer: spiritually, academically and socially. 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 standards along with moral and spiritual Christian formation to foster growth in children as life-long learners: Pre-Kindergarten (4 year old) and Kindergarten through 2nd grade for our Primary Team, 3rd through 5th grade for our Elementary students, with 6th through 8th  grade  in our Middle School. Starting in the fall of 2012, after nearly half a century, St. Mary's will again have a Catholic High School. This high school program is offered via the internet through Catholic Schools K-12 Virtual (CSK12) of the Archdiocese of Miami and is fully accredited through AdvancEd (SACS/CASI).

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. 

“Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make his spirit, his devotion, his affections, his desires and his disposition live and reign there… It is the work which God has given us to do unceasingly.”

(St. John Eudes, The Life and Reign of Jesus in Christian Souls)

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's New at St. Mary's:

Principal Dulcamara went to visit with Lisa Shelly, Director of CSK12 in Florida. We will be having a co-op with CSK12 that will allow us to open our new virtual high school in the fall of 2012.

Shortly after this visit, Mr. Dulcamara traveled to the Diocese of Pueblo to meet with John Brainard, Principal of St. Therese Catholic School (they have been a CSK12 partner for a year). St. Therese will be "sister-school" with St. Mary's as we enter into this bold new world of virtual Catholic education.

Thank you Archbishop Paul Coakley for approving our cooperative with CSK12 which will allow St. Mary's to again have a fully accredited Catholic High School program at St. Mary's after an absence of nearly a half century. In addition, thank you for coming and celebrating Mass for our school community and for visting our classes:

This year we have remodeled some more of our facilities, including heat in our gym/auditorium. In addition, we are still working to increase our educational technology throughout our academic teams.
