As we continue to enhance our school’s identity, we want to reinforce and remind everyone about the significance of our branding guidelines. Consistency in our visual elements is crucial for creating a recognizable brand that resonates with all members of the STVM community—past, present, and future.
Why Our Brand Matters:
Instant Recognition: Consistent use of logos, colors, and typography allows our community to easily connect with the STVM identity.
Shared Values: Our visual elements communicate our beliefs and standards, shaping perceptions and expectations that words alone cannot convey.
Professional Cohesion: Adhering to these guidelines across all communications—including newsletters, social media, (including social media pages (i.e. IG and FB groups) and promotional materials—ensures a polished and unified representation of our school.
Community Pride: A strong, recognizable brand fosters a sense of belonging and loyalty among students, parents, and staff.
Our Brand Guidelines can be found here on STVM.com. Please take a moment to review the guidelines, and to know where and when to use each logo. It's important to understand that altering the logo is never acceptable either and diminishes the brand and our brand recognition.
Thank you for your commitment to upholding these standards as we work together to promote the pride and spirit of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School! If you have any questions, please reach out to communications@stvm.com.
Attention students! Do you have an interest in creating videos? Join our Animoto Club to assist our team in creating video content for our social media platforms.
Animoto is a cloud-based video creation service that produces video from photos, video clips, and music into video slideshows, and customized web-based presentations.
Information meeting and sign up will be in the LRC on Monday, October 7 at 3:00PM.
The 2024 yearbooks are available for pick up and purchase. There is a limited number of extras available for $65. Books will be distributed to current students soon. Graduates may pick their copy up in the front office, or have a sibling or family friend pick them up for them. If you have any questions contact Beth Dolan at bdolan@stvm.com
Parents and students are encouraged to submit photos to the yearbook for us to use. Review this flyer or click on this link: eShare photo for Yearbook
The Semester Exam Schedule has been published. View and download the schedule here.
St. Vincent-St. Mary High School does not have a federally funded free/reduced school lunch program. However, thanks to the generosity of our donors, a very limited amount of needs based funding was available for families who meet certain criteria determined through the online FACTS application. The deadline for this program was August 30, 2024 and all slots are filled.
The Income Eligibility Form distributed to all families at Curriculum Night does not qualify families for free/reduced lunch. This form is mandated by the federal government and qualifies our school for government funding for many programs but NOT a lunch program. If you have not returned this form, please complete the form and return it to school as soon as possible.
STVM's annual Career Connections will be held on Thursday November 7, 2024 from 8-10:30 am in the LeBron James Arena. Professionals from a wide variety of fields will be on hand to showcase their work and talk with students about their careers. Anyone interested in participating and sharing their career journey with our students should contact Anne Jorgensen at ajorgensen@stvm.com or 330-253-9113 ext. 165
