Our public schools give students opportunities to discover their talents, express their creativity, and find where they belong. Through music, visual arts, theater, athletics, clubs, and other activities, students build confidence, develop new skills, form lasting connections, and experience the joy of being part of something bigger than themselves. Collaboration is a key skill that is useful in the workforce, military, and so many other places!

💗 SMHS VOLLEYBALL DELIVERS COMFORT & KINDNESS 💗
St. Marys High School would like to recognize and thank our SMHS Volleyball Team and Coach Stephanie Corathers for helping turn a school-wide act of kindness into something truly meaningful for local cancer patients.
The team recently delivered Cancer Care Bags to Marietta Memorial Hospital and WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center. The bags were filled with items intended to bring a little comfort, encouragement, and support to patients as they endure cancer treatments.
The care bags were created by SMHS students as part of a school-wide kindness activity sponsored by the SMHS Leo Club. Students came together with one goal in mind—to remind those facing cancer that they are supported, thought of, and cared for by their community. A special thanks to Ms. Emily Null who during the volunteer day, organized putting the bags together.
This project held an especially personal meaning for Coach Stephanie Corathers, a breast cancer survivor. During one of the deliveries, Coach Corathers had the opportunity to reconnect with a nurse who cared for her during her own cancer treatment—a special full-circle moment that made the experience even more meaningful. 💕
School Counselor Loura Rinard would like to extend a special thank you to Coach Corathers and the SMHS Volleyball Team for taking the time to deliver the bags and for representing St. Marys High School with such compassion and kindness.
We are incredibly proud of our students, staff, and Leo Club for showing that even a simple act of kindness can make a difference in someone’s most difficult days.
💜 Devils making a difference—one act of kindness at a time. 💜
