This resolution honors St. Mary's School in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on the occasion of its 75th anniversary, recognizing its significant contributions to education and community development. The school was established in 1950 in the context of Oak Ridge's emergence as a "Secret City" during the nuclear era, initially serving 200 students in grades one through six and gradually expanding to include grades seven and eight, kindergarten, pre-kindergarten, and a three-year-old program. The resolution highlights the school's notable achievements, including being staffed by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia from Nashville, receiving a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence designation from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010, and implementing innovative educational resources like a unique primary science lab. The resolution commends the school's administration, faculty, staff, and students for their dedication to academic excellence and commitment to high educational standards, and formally recognizes the institution's 75 years of service to the Oak Ridge community.
