I am a proud Spartan Alumna and Alumni Parent. We live on the eastern shore of Maryland, about an hour from school. At last count, I've put about 90,000+ miles on my car since my kids started at Saint Mark's - and every mile has been 100% worth it! When we're not on campus at Mass, at an open house, SPARTA-Q, athletics game or additional school function, our family enjoys spending time on the Chesapeake Bay.

Becoming a part of the Spartan family has been the best decision we could have made. Saint Mark’s offers the solid foundation built on faith, academic excellence and athletics/extracurricular activities that we believe will prepare our children for their future. The opportunities are limitless and the sense of family is priceless. If we’re not at a game or school event cheering on the Spartans, you’ll find us enjoying the Eastern Shore!
