We Guide Future Saints & Scholars

St. Mary’s School has been shaping young minds and hearts since 1878, steeped in a rich tradition of faith and academic excellence. As the oldest continuously operating Catholic elementary school in Tennessee, and the sole one in the Diocese of Memphis for over 140 years, we have a legacy like no other.

Guided by the dedicated Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation, our school is a vibrant community fueled by the support of our parents, parishioners, and the wider community. Here, we believe that education goes beyond textbooks – it's about nurturing the whole child.

​

At St. Mary’s, we blend time-honored values with innovative programs, creating a learning environment where students flourish academically, spiritually, and socially. Our students don't just attend classes; they build lifelong friendships, discover their passions, and grow into confident individuals ready to take on the world.

From our dynamic curriculum to our emphasis on spiritual formation, every aspect of St. Mary’s is designed to inspire and empower. Here, praying is as important as playing, and each child is encouraged to reach their fullest potential.

Welcome to St. Mary’s School, where every day is an adventure in learning, faith, and friendship. Join us on this extraordinary journey and experience the difference of a St. Mary’s education.
