Welcome to St. Mark Catholic School, a unique school family. We are about
to begin our seventh year, my fifth here. We are at a great point! Our
middle school has taken off nicely. The St. Mark "Core" is now in the 7th
grade. ( Core- those students who started in Kindergarten the year St.
Mark opened.) This class marked the first double section in the middle
school. We anxiously anticipate double classes 8th grade next year as we
continue to grow our school.
The school uses the new BLEST ARE WE religion series and Benziger Family
Life program in the spring. St. Mark students are encouraged to practice
the principles of social justice and participate in service projects
throughout the year: weekly food drives for canned goods, letter and
packages for servicemen, cards for prison ministry, project shoebox and many
more.
Students participate in weekly mass, October Living Rosary, May Crowning and
other liturgies throughout the year. Families are always welcome.
We have strong academic programs, a committed faculty and staff.
extracurricular activities for the children have grown and the school now
particpates in league competition in volleyball, soccer, basketball, tennis
and lacrosse. In addition to this we have a girls' running club and parish
basketball.For the younger students we offer t-ball and Little Lion's
soccer.
