Check out this amazing opportunity!!!

We are thrilled to officially announce the launch of the Blue Devil Legacy Fund—a strategic initiative designed to power the next era of Martensdale-St. Marys Athletics and Fine Arts.

As we transition into a new conference and open our brand-new facilities, we aren’t just growing; we’re leveling up. This initiative is an investment in our students, ensuring they have every tool necessary to compete, perform, and succeed.

Why the Legacy Fund matters:
🏆 Conference Readiness: Giving our teams the edge to compete at the highest level in our new home.

🎷 Program Support: Providing essential equipment and resources for our coaches and directors.

🏟️ Facility Optimization: Ensuring our new spaces keep pace with our growing enrollment and participation.

Join us in building a lasting legacy for MSTM. Every contribution directly impacts the students wearing the Blue and Gold today and for years to come.

Another amazing day of guest critiques here at MSTM! 🎨🏫

Today we welcomed Professor Rachel Schwaller from Grand View University to the studio. She spent the day doing deep dives into our senior art portfolios and offering fresh, expert perspectives to our drawing students on their latest pieces. Having these university connections is such a game-changer for our young creators. Thank you, Rachel, for bringing your expertise to our classroom! ✨🙌
