St. Mary stands proudly as a community where all are able to "Grow in Wisdom and Grace". For you this means pursuit in the academics, spiritual and co-curricular life of the school community. In doing so, you may develop into thinking, valuing and loving individuals. Our school motto, "Live, Love, Learn" is remindful of this goal.

St. Mary Secondary School came into being in 1970, upon the closure of Loretto Academy. The existence and growth of St. Mary Secondary is a tribute to the vision, sacrifices and commitment of the Catholic people of Hamilton-Wentworth.
