"St. Mary’s Catholic School has been our home for the past five years, and we have loved every moment. This school has become more than just a place of learning; it’s truly a family. I’ve enjoyed building meaningful relationships with both parents and staff, and I have peace of mind knowing my children are safe each day. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my boys not only excel academically but grow spiritually as well. Their love for God has deepened, and I know that’s due to the values and fundamentals that St. Mary’s instills. We feel that God has placed our family exactly where we need to be."

The Beckett Family Testimonial
"We love St. Mary’s. We love that Jesus and our Catholic faith is a part of everything! The teachers and staff are all devoted to helping Luke, our 1st grader, be the best he can be, from academics to character & virtue. The simplest way to explain St. Mary’s impact on Luke and our family is to tell you about a ride home from school last year. Luke said, “Mom, Mrs. Mary told us that God gave us 5 senses!” God would have never been part of that lesson if Luke had attended public school. We also have 2 college kids; they both attended public school and Catholic school, and the peace I feel as a Catholic school parent is far superior to how I felt as a public school parent. I drop off Luke daily, knowing he is in a loving and safe environment where we, his parents, are aided in helping him grow into a strong Christian man filled with knowledge and faith." - Beckett Family
The Teel Family Testimonial
"We enrolled our kids at St. Mary's initially out of convenience, and four years later, we're still here because of the incredible care and support our kids receive and how wonderful it is to work with the staff.
When we moved to Longview in 2020, St. Mary's was just around the corner from work, and our neighbors encouraged us to check it out. We were so impressed by the welcoming staff and the school's supportive, positive atmosphere that we decided to stay.
Through St. Mary's, we've gained friends, found Spanish tutors for our kids, and felt warmly welcomed into the community - even though we aren't a part of the Catholic Faith. Becoming part of the St. Mary's community has been such a rewarding way to educate our kids and connect with the greater Longview area."

Brittany Brookins Testimonial
"Brooklyn Johnigan, now 17 and a senior, has come so far since beginning her journey at St. Mary's in 6th grade. She is the daughter of Brittany Brookins and the late Henry Johnigan, who passed away from cancer. Back then, Brooklyn was struggling with the loss of her dad, and it showed in her behavior both at school and at home. I, as her mother, knew she needed a change. Enrolling her at St. Mary's turned out to be the best decision we could have made. This journey has been a huge blessing for our family. At St. Mary's, Brooklyn has blossomed into an incredible young woman, achieving so much along the way. She is now the Student Council President, Texas Bank and Trust Chairman, and even brought cheerleading to life, helping start the school's cheer squad. She's active in sports and continues to make us proud with each accomplishment. To all the staff at St. Mary's, thank you for believing in and loving my child. Special thanks to Dr. Safford - your dedication and hard work make all the difference. As our journey here nears its end, we will always carry St. Mary's in our hearts and 'bleed blue'. GO Knights!" -Brittany Brookins
