Principal’s Message

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,

As the newly appointed principal of Saint Mary’s High School, Peshawar – I feel privileged, pleased, and passionate to be leading a prestigious school with rich academic traditions. Since its inception in 1957, St. Mary’s High School has played a pivotal role in grooming over thousands of students. These enthusiastic and reflective practitioners are implementing innovative, active learning skills in different institutes and reinvigorating the spirit of quality education in Pakistan. St. Mary School’s (Marian Family) mission, “to lead positive change in Society” can only continue to flourish with self-less teamwork that is spear headed by the collaborative efforts of its faculty, students and staff. 

I have been in administration for last six years and I have done my studies in different fields such as Bachelors of Philosophy, Bachelors of Theology, Bachelors in Education, Psychology, Economics, B.Ed. Honors (Notre Dame University), Professional Accounting and English Language.  I am eager and excited to bring my services and skills as an educational leader to Saint Mary’s High School and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success. 

The institute serves as a springboard to hone your educational skills to ultimately become more effective Humans and citizens.  You will be developing over here knowledge, skills and habits of learning and adaptation. We are planning to develop a special cell for students counselling for career development. All of us at Saint Mary’s High School (Marian Family) will focus on character education initiatives, common core skills development; along with we will provide a rational implementation of the curriculum in a rigorous manner so that we can continue to augment all of the students’ achievement. We have designed the current academic year to continue providing academic experiences for our students that are thorough, relevant, and helpful for building relationships while making real-world connections. Joining efforts with the teachers and staff, we will work hard to continue the legacy of success established by its Pioneers, by building strong relationships with parents, students, and community partners. 
As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors- teachers, students, and parents- are excited to be here. I encourage you to participate in school events, stay connected and communicate with our team. My door is always open to listen and accept your input. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year. Our goal is to help students to navigate their school life. As we move forward this year, let us embody the values of respect, integrity, and compassion. Together, we will create a vibrant school culture where every member feels valued and inspired to succeed. 
May the blessing and wisdom of God continue to oversee and guide St. Mary High School (Marian Family) in the successful implementation of its educational endeavors in the years ahead
Best Regards,
Principal,
