Full Job Description About Saint Mary Help of Christians Catholic School:

Saint Mary Help of Christians Catholic School was founded in 1904 by Ursuline nuns as Saint Angela Academy, a boarding school for wealthy young ladies. The Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy assumed operations in 1906, expanding enrollment to include day students. In 1939, Bernard Baruch helped finance a red-brick building addition that remains part of the school today. In 1950, a local Catholic population boom driven by the Savannah River Plant prompted Bishop Emmet Michael Walsh to establish a parochial grammar school. The facility was renamed Saint Mary Help of Christians Catholic School under parish jurisdiction, while Saint Angela Academy transitioned exclusively into a high school. The Dominican Sisters from Adrian, Michigan, staffed and administered the school from 1955 until 1970, when the Sisters of Charity returned to manage it. Following the school's closure in June 1997, administrative duties shifted to a Catholic lay principal.
