Dear St. Mary School Families,

Home. Since beginning my teaching career here eighteen years ago, St. Mary School has been very much my home. A place where I arrived as a young teacher with a desire to make a difference, and a place that quickly became a community that I never wanted to leave. Over the years, I have had the joy of teaching many of our youngest students and watching them grow into remarkable young people. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be a part of their journey.

What makes a home complete? Family. 
At St. Mary School, we are a family—a family united by our Catholic faith and our love for our children. It is because of this loving and supportive family-centered community that accepting the role of St. Mary School's next principal is both a tremendous honor and a humbling responsibility. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the school that has welcomed me and shaped me both personally and professionally. I entrust my leadership to Jesus and to His Blessed Mother, praying for the wisdom to lead with compassion and integrity.

As we begin this new chapter together in the 2026-2027 school year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. McMahon for her years of leadership and service to St. Mary School. Her dedication to this community has helped shape the school we cherish today. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Fr. Anthony and our parish community for their steadfast support of our school.                                                                                                                                      
I look forward to working alongside our students, families, faculty, staff, and the parish community as we continue to grow in faith, pursue excellence, and nurture the unique gifts God has given each of our children.

Together, we will continue to make St. Mary School a home where every child experiences the love of family, the strength of faith, and the encouragement to become the person God created them to be.

With gratitude and prayers,
 
Mrs. Ceramello
