We will begin accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year on January 26, 2025.

Apply using the “Apply Here” button above. Our Current Families have until February 17th to re-enroll. After that date, once your application has been accepted, our office will send you an enrollment packet to complete. Your student’s spot in our school will be reserved once we receive the completed enrollment packet and enrollment fee of $200. 

After the general and admission requirements set forth are met, priority for admission will be determined in the following order:

  • Students currently enrolled in the school (Early preschool through seventh grade).
  • Siblings of students at SSM.
  • Children of faculty.
  • Involvement in volunteer efforts in the parish and school.
  • Length of registered membership in SSM, as determined by census card (with the greatest length being given priority).
  • Families with children previously enrolled in the school must pay enrollment fees by February 17th, or make payment arrangements with the school Principal or their place in the school may be given to a child on the waiting list.

The Pastor, based on the factors set forth above, will determine a waiting list for admissions. SSM reserves the right to exclude any student demonstrating he or she is unwilling or unable to handle the school’s academic, religious, and discipline expectations or requirements. The decision on whether to exclude a student will be made by the Pastor and Principal.

Below are the tuition rates for the 2025-2026 school year. A $200 non-refundable enrollment fee per student is required at the time of enrollment to reserve their spot. Additionally, an $11 processing fee will be charged at time of enrollment.
