St. Mark has twice received the U. S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award, and was recently recognized with an Innovations in Catholic Education Award as one of the top three Catholic schools in the nation for technology integration.
By working together, the St. Mark community builds the solid foundation that 21st century students need for a successful future and a lifelong love of learning.
