MISSION STATEMENT
Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School was founded in 1985, a year that marked the 400th anniversary of the birth of Mary Ward. Mary Ward, founder of Loretto Sisters' order the institution of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was often described as a dangerous innovator because she held views about education and the role of women that were considered radical in her time. A person of immense courage, compassion, creativity and wisdom, she is a very appropriate parton and an ideal role model for the Mary Ward scool community, especially with the lanching of the self-directed learing program in 1992. Since that time, experience, research, technology, cirriculum developement, input of students, alumni, parents, teachers, staff, and administration have all helped to shape an exemplary learning community that provides excellence in Catholic education.
