Welcome to St. Mary's Catholic School:
Pre-K, Elementary and Middle
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 5th grade for our Elementary students, with 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. 
“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, 7th grade
