History
The construction of St. Mary’s Elementary began in 1914. The school first opened its doors in 1915 to provide primary school education for the children of Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish. In 1936, St. Mary’s School expanded to include high school and graduated its first senior class in 1940. St. Mary's Schools were originally staffed exclusively by nuns from the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth but at present the faculty is entirely lay. We are celebrating 100 years of Catholic education this year.
Now, one hundred years after its founding, St. Mary’s Schools not only serve the youth of Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish but students from Worcester and surrounding towns and students from all religious and cultural backgrounds. St. Mary’s Schools continues to promote academic excellence while fostering spiritual growth in the Catholic tradition.
