St. Mary High

Note: There are potentially many factors which attributed to the enrollment decline which as evidenced here dates back to the 1980's. Among the likely
contributing causes would be a shift in city demographics and the local economy, movement of families into surrounding suburbs, the decline in
religious and priests on staff, the increase in tuition, and in later years the inception of Charter schools and availability of School Choice.
