Admission Information

Cathedral School of Saint Mary was founded in 1866 and is the longest, continuously running Catholic school in Texas.  While much has changed over the years, the values we seek to instill in our students remain the same.  Here at Cathedral School of Saint Mary, you will find the rich tradition of our Catholic faith is thriving, our students are excelling, and our community is warm and welcoming. 

Our phenomenal faculty leverage our Classical curriculum to create a dynamic blend of the disciplines through integrating Sophia Institute's Spirit of Truth which lays the foundation for teaching St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body in middle school, Susan Wise Bauer's Story of the World series that makes History come alive, the Shurley English program which enables students to write beautifully, and the Saxon Math program to help students master and retain concepts as they continue to learn new skills. Science lessons can be taught in our beautiful school garden where each grade cultivates their own bed to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for the student body. All students are invited to join the choir and thus sing beautiful hymns at our weekly school Mass while experiencing the suburb acoustics from the Cathedral choir loft. We have a variety of sports, liturgical activities, celebrations and opportunities for student leadership. Small student-teacher ratio means our teachers can easily meet individual needs and assist students in mastering material. 

Just two blocks from the Capitol, our campus is very convenient and accessible to all parts of town! Schedule a tour today; we'd love to meet you and your family!

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.

Admission InformationEmployment Opportunities

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.
