"The Bells of St. Mary shall always recall, sweet memories of days spent within that fair hall. Of girlhood's find dreams and companions so true and dear alma mater our deep love for you."
Hear from our students about what being a student of Mount St. Mary Academy means to them.
"Since joining the MSM community 4 years ago, it has become evident that the Mount truly believes in each and every one of us. I feel incredibly supported by the community and uplifted by my friends and teachers. I enjoy coming to school every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn here and the opportunities MSM has given me over my time in high school. - Diana DeAngelo ‘25, Class of 2025 Salutatorian
"From the get-go, I knew Mount was the place for me. Even though I was the only girl from my middle school coming to Mount, I knew it was the right fit. I love my school because there are endless opportunities and ways to be involved in the community. I chose Mount because of its amazing arts program and the many opportunities to do the things I love: singing and dancing. Not only do I love the extracurriculars, the academics have pushed me and helped me to grow. Mount fits all my hopes and dreams of the "high school experience." - Anna Karasski ‘26
“Since becoming a student at Mount, I have become more open to new opportunities as well as a more outgoing person. My teachers and friends at Mount are very encouraging with whatever I do. They push me to do better, in turn, I find that I push myself to do my best every day. I found out about Leadership Buffalo through Mrs. Spillman when she reached out to me with a leadership opportunity in September. I tend to be an extremely shy person, so I was reluctant to fill out the application. I'm glad I did. I was accepted into the program and have had a great time each session. I've learned so much since becoming a part of Leadership Buffalo. I would say that the most valuable thing I've learned since being a part of Leadership Buffalo is that you need to do what makes you happy, and what you love to do. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of time being miserable.” - Nia King '25
"This year at the Mount, I am on the F.L.A.G Football Team and Swim Team. My freshman year, I loved how everyone was so welcoming. As an athlete, my coaches are always there for me. Being a part of the school's first ever F.L.A.G Football Program makes me feel empowered to be playing a sport with my teammates that is predominately male-driven." -Sydney Yost '26
"In the past four years, Mount has become a second home to me. It has been an honor getting to experience the education my mom, Lisa Battaglia Garvey '96, had before me" - Maeve Garvey '24
"Attending the same school my mom attended is one of the biggest reasons the mount is so special to me. I am able to bond and connect with my mother about similarities between our experiences while still being able to have a different and unique perspective compared to her. My mom is so present in the MSM community as well; sometimes it feels like she never even left." - Adelaide Garvey '25
