Entering its 47th year of educational leadership in its current location, St. Mary on the Hill Catholic School is a Florida Catholic Conference accredited school supporting grades K-8.  The parish of St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church supports the school.  Historically the school has been administered by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.  Lay persons currently staff St. Mary's.  The school serves St. Mary's Parish, other parishes and non-Catholic residents of the area. 

Originally named Mount St. Joseph, the school was founded in 1913 by the Georgia province of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.  The current school campus was erected in 1960 and the newest addition was completed during the 2001-2002 school year.   St. Mary on the Hill School now has a total of 24 classrooms.  Additionally, it has many resources including full time Guidance Counselor, Library/Media Center, on-staff nurse, Religious Office, as well as  Music, Art, French, Spanish, Physical Education, Computer Labs and a Science Lab.

The St. Mary on the Hill program is designed to help students progress from dependence in early childhood to personal and intellectual independence as young adults.  The academic program is separated into four departments: Early Childhood, Primary, Intermediate and Junior High.  Class sizes are limited throughout the School, so students, faculty and parents know each other well.  The Early Childhood and Primary focus on establishing basic skills in a safe, stimulating and developmentally appropriate environment.  Children from Kindergarten through the first grade call the Early Childhood wing home.  The Primary wing includes second and third grades.  In the Intermediate grades fourth through sixth -- students begin assuming greater responsibility for their academic progress and work toward mastering increasingly complex subject matter.   The Junior High students in the seventh and eighth grades benefit from a challenging program.  Upon leaving the School, a St. Mary's graduate is expected to reason logically, read critically, write correctly, express thoughts articulately and to both analyze and question vigorously.
