St. Mary School officially opened in October 1924 with grades one through six and was
staffed by Dominican Sisters.  The school expanded with grades seven and eight in the 1930s.
The first graduating high school class received diplomas in May 1949.
St. Mary School was originally built at the corner of Ninth Street and Orange Avenue.
In 1958, a new high school building was constructed on Bob Hall Road
where the present facility is located, although the high school itself closed in 1970.
St. Mary School has played a significant role in the educational community
of Orange and the Catholic community in particular.
