History
Classes began at Saint Mary's on November 27th of 1887. By the grace of God, we have been continuously educating children for well over 125 years, and are still going strong. Firmly rooted in the Love of Christ, and under the Patronage of Mary, His Virgin Mother, we strive not only for academic excellence, but also seek to develop every aspect of our student's life - morally, spiritually, and socially - helping them to become all that God wants them to be and that they can be for the good of others. This is made possible by the commitment and dedication of our loving faculty and staff, supportive parents, and from parish and Akron donors. A Catholic Education is an advantage for life.
