News & Announcements

Join us this Sunday, December 8, 2024, from 1 PM to 3 PM, to experience the legacy and spirit of Saint Mary’s College High School, where we have been educating the mind, heart, and soul since our founding in San Francisco in 1863. Nestled in the historic Peralta Park campus in Berkeley since 1927, Saint Mary’s invites prospective students and families to explore our vibrant community. Meet our passionate teachers, administrators, coaches, students, and parents; attend engaging information sessions; and tour our beautiful campus. Enjoy live performances, interactive demonstrations, delicious food, and more as you discover how our mission and Lasallian Core Principles—Faith in the Presence of God, Concern for the Poor and Social Justice, Respect for All Persons, Inclusive Community, and Quality Education—shape every aspect of life at Saint Mary’s. Rooted in the mission of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, we are a Christ-centered community committed to diversity, inclusion, and holistic education. We look forward to welcoming you to the Saint Mary’s family!

Today, Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, Saint Mary’s College High School celebrates the theme Together We Are Saint Mary’s. As an integral part of our extended community, your support enables us to continue advancing our mission of Lasallian education, which shapes students’ minds, hearts, and souls. Together, we provide vital programs in academics, student life, social-emotional learning, and tuition assistance, ensuring every student can thrive.

Your generosity drives Saint Mary’s forward. Without you, the 160-year legacy of hope, love, justice, and excellence could not endure. Join us in this shared journey by giving today. Together, we build a brighter future for all.

Classroom Matters and Saint Mary’s College High School are teaming up to bring you a high-quality HSPT preparation workshop!

This 3.5 hour workshop will help students gain familiarity with the test, introduce them to test-taking strategies, and review practice problems with answer explanations.

The Workshop is on Saturday, November 16, 2024, 9:00am - 12:30pm. Click on the link to register.

The Great Gatsby brilliantly captures the glamour and excitement of the Roaring '20s, bringing to life all the iconic moments of this beloved American classic.

At the heart of the story is self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, whose pursuit of wealth, status, and power in the Jazz Age conceals a deeper longing: his enduring love for Daisy, the woman he fell for years ago, now married to the wealthy, domineering Tom Buchanan. When Daisy’s cousin, Nick Carraway, becomes Gatsby’s unwitting neighbor, he soon finds himself acting as a go-between for Gatsby and Daisy.

Under the watchful gaze of Dr. Eckleburg's fading billboard, Nick narrates this tragic tale of unfulfilled love, revealing how wealth, materialism, and the decline of moral values tainted the American Dream amidst the opulence and excess of the 1920s.

Only two nights remain. Show time is at 7 PM. Click on the link to purchase your tickets before it's too late!

Join us for an evening of reflection as we listen to guests from God's Pantry share their personal stories of transformation, hope, and serving the common good. 5:30 - 6:30 PM in the Saint Mary's Library.
