The Southside Education Collaborative is here to ensure that St. Mary’s South Side Catholic High School remains an anchor in the Dutchtown neighborhood continuing its efforts to transform the City of St. Louis through education, service, and community building.
OUR HISTORY
OUR SIDE... SOUTHSIDE.
St. Mary’s High School, 4701 South Grand Boulevard, opened its doors under the name of South Side Catholic High School in September 1931. For the first two years, its teachers were Christian Brothers. In September 1933, members of the Society of Mary (Marianists) took over the school. A faculty of ten Brothers of Mary taught 275 students. The first graduating class numbered 62. The name of the school was changed from South Side Catholic High School to St. Mary’s High School in 1947.
