Forming Character Through Faith
At St. Mary's, education extends beyond the classroom. Our TIGERS Guiding Principles shape how students learn, lead, and serve each day, fostering a community rooted in Catholic values, strong character, and a commitment to others.
The TIGERS Principles
Trust • Integrity • Gratitude • Empathy • Respect • Service
These six principles guide our daily interactions and help students grow into compassionate, confident leaders who live their faith with purpose.
T - Trust
Building Confidence Through Honesty
We honor our commitments, act with honesty, and build trust through dependable actions. Students and staff strive to do what is right, even when it is difficult.
I - Integrity
Doing the Right Thing
Integrity means choosing honesty, responsibility, and ethical behavior in every situation. We encourage students to model the values of our Catholic faith through both their words and their actions.
G - Gratitude
Living with Thankfulness
We recognize the many blessings in our lives and express appreciation for others. A spirit of gratitude strengthens relationships and creates a joyful school community.
E - Empathy
Caring for One Another
We seek to understand the experiences of others by listening with compassion, responding with kindness, and supporting one another as members of one school family.
R - Respect
Honoring Every Individual
Every person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity and respect. We value differences and demonstrate respect through our words, actions, and attitudes.
S - Service
Serving Like Christ
Inspired by Christ's example, we serve others with humility, generosity, and love. We use our unique gifts to make a positive difference in our school, parish, and community.
