The Mission of St. Mary’s Catholic School is the commitment to academic excellence, and the spiritual development of our students toward a life of prayer, service and love.

St. Mary’s School was founded in 1897 under the name of St. Mary’s Academy by Father Heckmann, pastor of St. Mary’s Church.  Under his direction, with the active support of a dedicated group of parishioners, Divine Providence Sisters guided the pupils for several years.  The Divine Providence Sisters withdrew in 1912 and not until 1919 could teaching sisters be found to continue their good work.  Sisters of the Congregation of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament from Houston, Texas, began their mission at St. Mary’s School in 1919 and had a presence in the school until the retirement in May 1995 of long-time librarian, Sister James Philip Davison.  In 1974, Mrs. Loris Edwards became the first lay principal.

Today, the school is staffed by lay teachers who, together with the clergy, parents, and students, work for its uninterrupted growth and success to the greater honor and glory of God.

Since its founding in 1894, St. Joseph Catholic School has grown from a one-room school house to a comprehensive school system that includes three campuses:  The Early Learning Center (ELC) provides infant care through PreK3, the Elementary Campus educates students from grades PreK4 – 5th grade, and the Secondary Campus encompasses the Junior High and the High School.

Although the school has changed over the past 120+ years, one thing has remained the same—our commitment to providing quality, Catholic education—spirit, mind, and body.  We take very seriously our mission to form the whole person in the image and likeness of Christ.

St. Joseph uses a three-pronged approach to forming and educating students:  faith formation, rigorous curriculum, and extracurricular activities.

Our solid, faith-based education is open to children of all religions. Re­ligious instruction is provided daily, and students from grades PreK-12 attend Mass twice weekly.  But sharing and exploring our Christian faith is not confined to the chapel or the theology classroom. Seeing God’s hand in all areas of study, be it science, social studies, math, or music, is part of the daily experience for teachers and students at St. Joseph School.

The education at St. Joseph Catholic School provides a solid foundation and springboard to the future.  At the secondary level, students are required to take at least two years of Latin, and they have the opportunity to earn college credit through the Dual Credit program with Blinn College.  St. Joseph High School graduates have been accepted to some of the most prestigious and highly ranked colleges and universities in the country.

In addition, students and their parents are encouraged to participate in a variety of activi­ties that promote and encourage the values of respect, responsibility, and service. The student service pro­gram, a requirement for graduation, further instills the value of student leadership and service.

In 1972, the only Catholic high school in Austin closed. Ten years later, Austin was the only major US city without a Catholic high school. A small group of parents and Catholic lay leaders headed by Dr. Leonard Dolce commissioned a study that revealed the Austin community would enthusiastically support such a school. In 1984, St. Michael’s Catholic Academy opened its doors. It was one of the first Catholic schools in the nation established entirely by laypeople. The land and the school are not owned by the diocese – a striking departure from typical Catholic schools. Although the Diocese of Austin has been extremely supportive, laypeople have assumed full responsibility for the school. Since the school’s beginning, trustees, parents, faculty, and staff have labored to realize its founding vision: to be a first-class Catholic secondary school that nourishes the minds, bodies, and spirits of its students, preparing them for a challenging college education and a Christian adult life. St. Michael’s Catholic Academy is a college-preparatory school serving a diverse student body. Combining academic excellence with faith formation and co-curricular learning opportunities, St. Michael’s prepares the whole student for leadership, service, and decision-making consistent with Catholic values.
