I am so proud to have attended St Mary's Academy.
We love and appreciate SMA's dedication to the spiritual and educational development of the young women who attend SMA. This is accomplished through the dedication of the excellent teachers, administration and parent support. We believe many of the SMA Belles will go on to accomplish great things in their lives, from their attendance at SMA and from the life- long friends they make. Our world needs these young women who can be its future leaders.
I am so proud to follow the continued success of my SMA Sisters. Camille Brooks, Green Tie c/o 85

So thankful for this institution
SMA helped me become a successful woman lawyerlin the CA Attorney General's Office for 32 years. to advocate for equality for women, and become a successful investor although told that an M.B.A. in 1969 from UC Berkeley did not qualify me for a career in finance. We women of SMA will be and are successful no matter what obstacles are put in our way and will be advocates for free speech as defined in our Constitution and equal rigfhts for everyone.
C'mon, Blue Ties!!
I will always appreciate the gift my parents gave me of attending Saint Mary's Academy.

Sister Cornelia Joseph taught more than Latin. She brought life and meaning to a "dead" language, nurturing my thirst for literature, the arts, and travel. I credit every professional success to having had the privilege of a Saint Mary's Academy education. Go Gold Ties!
The education and sisterhood of SMA helped me become the woman I am today.
I have so much gratitude for my high school experience and for lifelong friends from the class of 1999.
It is a blessing to be a part of the St. Mary's Academy community. Everyone who is here on a daily basis finds a place where they belong. Everyone makes an effort to ensure that, when you are here, you feel a sense of welcome and belonging from students to faculty to staff; we are all in this together. When you are here, you are seen; you are valued; and you are heard.
Keeping our traditions & educational excellence for the next generation.🙏🏾
Lets go Gold ties !!!!
