A Note from the Principal
“You’ll feel it the moment you walk in.”
Stella Maris isn’t just a school — it’s a family. Some of our students have been here for years; some teachers have given decades. What we share is a belief that every child belongs and every child can grow.
If you’re considering us, please come visit. Sit in on a class. Meet the children. We think you’ll feel right at home — because that’s what we work to build, every single day.
— Yours in service,
Mrs. Doreth Pascasio Griffith
