Description
St. Mary's mascot is the tiger, and its school colors are blue and white. The sports teams have been successful as of late, including three straight district championships in basketball (including a trip to the second round of the class 1A state playoffs in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 and a trip to the quarterfinals in 2011-2012), and district championships in football in both 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 (including trips to the second round of the playoffs in both years). In 2010-11 the baseball team won the LHSAA 1A state championship after earning runner-up honors the previous year. The baseball team as well as the men's track and field team have won the district championship over five years in a row each.
While St. Mary's is a Catholic school, many students are Protestant.
St. Mary's sports and clubs include football, girls' and boys' basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, tennis, golf, danceline, baton twirling, cheerleading, quiz bowl, 4-H, drama club, FCA, FBLA, BETA, and student council.
