St. Mary's School, located in O'Neill, Nebraska is a Catholic parochial school within the Archdiocese of Omaha school system.

Background

St. Mary's School was founded in 1900 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, who at the time were based in Buffalo, New York, but would soon be moving to Stella Niagara in nearby Lewiston, New York. During this period, the sisters were active in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Colorado. In 1886 they came out to Dakota Territory to begin mission work to the Lakota in what would later become South Dakota. They turned their attention to White children, coming here to O'Neill in 1900, and in 1908 they would be invited to teach at St. Agnes Academy in Alliance, Nebraska.^[3]
