WE ALL
GREW UP HERE
“Thinking about it, my high school
days started with love and ended
with love, and that is the truth.”

About the School
THE SCHOOL SONG
The Bells of St Mary's
The bells of St. Mary’s at sweet eventide
Shall call me, beloved, to come to your side
And down in the valley beneath the tall trees
I know you’ll be waiting, yes, waiting for me.
Chorus
The bells of Saint Mary’s Ah! Hear, they are calling
The young ones, the true ones even those from the sea
And so my beloved, when dew drops are falling
Those love bells shall ring out, ring out for you and me.
Our school on the hillside, how charming it seems;
As swift-passing days bring us nearer our dreams
We’ll conquer our challenges, enlightened by you
Beloved Saint Mary’s, we’ll always be true.

School Life
Our formative years were spent in this place; we rubbed shoulders with some who would become movers and shakers.
The people we would become and the path we would walk were largely determined by the decisions we made here. Also, by the people who mentored us ignored our childishness, seeing more in us than we could ever see.: POTENTIAL.
