About Our School

63 Years of Excellence & Ubuntu

Founded in 1962 by the Anglican Diocese of Harare (C.P.C.A), St. Mary's High School has been a beacon of academic excellence for 63 years. From humble beginnings with 70 male boarding students and 3 teachers including our founder Principal Mr. WF Hall, we have grown into a thriving institution serving 1,261 students (607 male, 654 female) with a dedicated staff of 55 teachers.

Our school was founded on solid Christian principles with no prejudice intended against non-Christians, striving to produce highly intellectual, God-fearing, and morally upright students who have love, respect, and endeavor to work hard at all times. We are guided by the virtues of Unhu/Ubuntu, producing wholesome and useful citizens of Zimbabwe.

St. Mary's provides an all-round education through academic, sporting, and cultural activities, enabling each student to achieve their full potential. In line with Education 5.0, we emphasize practical subjects and life skills while involving parents and guardians in the learning process.

A Fountain of Wisdom

"

Mr. Nyabako

Head Master

St. Mary's High School has been and will remain a fountain of wisdom, and it is the wise who will drink from this great fountain of wisdom.

Our success as a school is an outcome of an ever-deepening culture of industry and commitment to study on the part of our learners. This is well complimented by a hard-working team of tried and tested professionals whose desire is to get the best from all our learners.

As we continue to grow and excel, we are proud to have recently acquired a new 75-seater school bus and kombi for educational trips and sporting events. We are also nearing completion of a new state-of-the-art Special Needs Block, a donation courtesy of the Lord Bishop, the Rt Reverend Dr. F. Mutamiri.

It is our vision to re-establish boarding facilities soon in an effort to continue to improve the quality of tuition and services offered at St. Mary's High School. A roadmap has been put in place, and all stakeholders are invited to be part of this new great journey.

As we stand guided by our motto: "We Think We Can and Indeed We Can" - I invite you to join our community where excellence is not just a goal, but a way of life.
