St. Mary of the Mills strives to

• Form students who are followers of Christ through discipleship by witnessing to the Gospel message as understood, taught, and proclaimed by the Catholic Church in both word and deed.
• Help everyone achieve educational and personal excellence in spirit, mind, and body by encouraging all to explore and develop their God-given gifts and talents while embracing and celebrating our differences.
• Inspire life long learning in a loving, secure, caring, respectful Catholic community by modeling the example of Christ as servant leader.
• Foster the relationship between administration, faculty, staff, and parents understanding that Catholic education is a partnership where the parents accept the responsibility as the primary educators of their children while the school provides the formal education of the students.
