WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Prospective Parents,
I firmly believe that great schools are built through the collective efforts of exceptional teachers, staff, parents, and community members. My goal is to strengthen our Catholic school community by fostering teamwork, open communication, and meaningful collaboration with all stakeholders. Together, we will continue to nurture and enhance the strong culture of faith and excellence that defines Saint Mary Star of the Sea Catholic School. Pope Francis beautifully reminds us: “The family remains the basic unit of society and the first school in which children learn the human, spiritual, and moral values that enable them to be a beacon of goodness, integrity, and justice in our communities.” As the first educators of your children, you play an invaluable role in our shared mission of academic, spiritual, and moral development, guiding each child toward their ultimate goal—heaven. I am honored to partner with you on this important journey.
In this community, we share a common purpose: Saint Mary Star of the Sea School provides a Christ-centered Catholic education to PK3 through 8th-grade students of all faiths in the tradition of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia. The spiritual, intellectual, and social development of every student is nurtured in a safe and disciplined environment. With a solid foundation in academic and moral excellence, students are prepared for success in high school and beyond.
With this mission at heart, we strive to cultivate the mind, body, and spirit of each child, building a foundation of faith that will guide them throughout their lives. I am deeply committed to working alongside our talented and nurturing faculty, staff, and Parent Teacher Organization to ensure your children thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Together, we will continue to make Saint Mary Star of the Sea a shining example of faith-filled excellence.
May God bless you,
Lei Ann Galvez, Ed. D.
Interim Principal
