A Message from the Principal

A Message from Mrs. Kailey Maier, SJM Principal

Welcome!  From the moment you step foot onto our campus, you will be greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our school community, consisting of supportive parents, dedicated faculty, staff, enthusiastic students, devoted clergy, and active parishioners, creates a faith-filled, family environment. Each day, we take delight in being a part of this positive climate, and it is this sense of family that helps us believe our St. Justin students are formed with a strong foundation.

As you explore our school or engage with our student Ambassadors and parents, you will quickly discover the exceptional quality of our highly trained and devoted faculty and staff. Our educators are the best in their field, with many holding advanced degrees and all generously offering their time and talents to provide additional academic support and enriching extracurricular opportunities for our students. To stay at the forefront of education, our faculty actively participates in professional development, ensuring they remain well-informed about the latest research-backed teaching practices. Over the past decade, our teachers have been recognized with various awards, honoring their dedication to excellence and contributions to our students’ growth.

At St. Justin, we take a proactive approach to education, using research-based methods to map our curriculum and track student progress. Like a skilled coach adjusting their strategy during a game, we adapt our instructional methods and curriculum in response to ongoing assessment data. By integrating the latest technologies and research-backed instructional strategies, we foster the most effective outcomes for our students. As a result, we firmly believe our students are informed with innovation and transformed by knowledge.

Yet, the heart of our school lies in its faith-based environment, where worship, prayer, service, and community building play central roles. Attending Mass twice weekly and partaking in Catholic traditions, such as the living rosary, Stations of the Cross, and honoring the Saints, enrich our students’ spiritual growth. Activities like school ‘families’ and ‘buddy’ systems further strengthen our sense of community. Engaging in meaningful service projects helps our students understand the significance of serving God and others. Through these transformative experiences and more, our students are truly shaped and enlightened by faith during their time at St. Justin.

Here, at St. Justin Martyr School, we take pride in providing an inclusive and nurturing environment where students are formed with the support of a loving family, informed through innovative education practices, and transformed by the power of faith. We are honored to welcome all who share our passion for fostering not just academic excellence but also the holistic growth of our students’ minds, hearts, and souls. Together, let us continue to embrace the values that define our remarkable school community.
