Principal Letter

Welcome to St. Mary-Basha Catholic School!

St. Mary-Basha Catholic School, established in 1944, has been a beacon of education for over 75 years, serving over 400 students from PreK through 8th Grade. Our mission has been to nurture generations of children, instilling in them faith, a commitment to excellence, a sense of community, respect for tradition, and a dedication to service. Our dedicated faculty guides these young minds, preparing them for a life guided by gospel principles and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Academic excellence is the cornerstone of our institution, fortified by our unwavering commitment to the Catholic faith. We meticulously tailor our teaching methods to accommodate the unique learning styles of each child, placing a strong emphasis on nurturing critical thinking skills through a rigorous curriculum. Our students are immersed in the contemporary world of technology on a daily basis, as we take great pride in cultivating 21st-century learners. These individuals not only excel academically but also emerge as technology-savvy and collaborative thinkers, all while being grounded in the principles of our Catholic faith.

In addition to these courses, we offer a comprehensive selection of Jr. High Elective courses, which include journalism, personal finance, broadcast journalism, study skills, apologetics, career planning, and more. Our Catholic faith is seamlessly integrated into all aspects of our curriculum, even within our elective courses. This values-based education emphasizes the importance of service, justice, and community.

Beyond academics, we offer a wealth of co-curricular activities, including CYA sports, theater, chess club, robotics, choir, service clubs for both boys and girls, band, student government, and various service projects.

For the convenience of parents, we provide an after school care through Innovation Learning. We also encourage active parent involvement through the Home and School Association, the Advisory Board, and the Eagle Hours Program.

At St. Mary-Basha, we are not merely an educational institution but a close-knit community united by a shared purpose — to guide our students on their journey. We firmly believe that selecting our school is more than a choice; it's an invitation to join our family, a family rooted in faith and the loving presence of God.

I extend a warm invitation to visit our campus, take a tour, and witness the incredible educational journey happening at St. Mary-Basha Catholic School.
