St Mary Help of Christians Catholic School 118 York Street Southeast, Aiken, SC 29801

"Christmas play"

"My daughter graduated from St. Mary Help of Christians Catholic School in Aiken with high honors. She was a three-sport scholar athlete that brought 4 AAMSL championships to the school. The tools, skills, and spiritual leadership she learned at St. Mary’s, in the classroom, on the court/field, and in religious education has directly carried over to high school where she is still a top academic performer and a three-sport athlete. The experiences my daughter had at St. Mary’s School coupled with the Catholic faith they teach, truly helped shape her future."

"After 18 years of my kids going to SMS, countless volunteer boards, hours and scholarships for teachers, we were forced to withdraw our youngest. It’s a shame a school you have supported all these years refuses to confront bullying and keep kids safe. The school once had a high standard for discipline and academics. The teachers are wonderful, administration is the problem."

"Horrible principal, doesn’t care about the students here at all. Had no guidelines at all in place to protect students and staff from covid. Dozens of students out as well as multiple staff members and she continues as if nothing had happened. Cannot believe anyone could claim to be Christian with such little regard for the safety of children. Just horrible administration."

"Amazing teachers. Poor administration. No support or resources for ADHD or LD. Parents of challenging students are shamed and no support or resources are available."
