Welcome to Our Lady Star of the Sea

Solomons, Maryland


	Beginnings


	Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish was founded in 1888 in the small community of Solomons Island, Maryland to serve Catholics who had come to work in the boat building and fishing industries. Solomons is located at the very southernmost tip of Calvert County. Our Lady Star of the Sea school was opened in September of 1933 originally conducting classes in the church basement.

	Mission Statement

	Jesus Christ is the center of our school community and the Person by whom we measure our life in its daily, physical, mental, and spiritual activities. It is, therefore, the mission of Our Lady Star of the Sea School, in conjunction with the parents and guardians of our children, to build a community which will reflect Gospel values, not only in the smaller school and parish setting, but also in the wider world society. Because we are also an academic institution, we strive for scholastic excellence by providing an organized and integrated curriculum which responds to the unique ability of each person. It is hoped that by providing a program that encourages spiritual, emotional, social, intellectual, and physical growth, the students will be able to meet the challenges that face them as they strive to become members of a democratic society.
