The Word school is derived from the Latin root 'schoola' and the Greek root 'skhole' meaning leisure, learned discussion, lecture etc. The Indo-European base of it means "to hold". Thus school is a place of learned discussion and such activities.

In school, the information of various topics are input into the young minds that will lead to the formation of their life and career. Many a time the process ends at the twin stages of information and formation. But in St. Mary English School, the education process envisages a step further the TRANSFORMATION of the human person.

We dream of a new world where the boundaries thin into oblivion and the sun of fraternity and cohesiveness dawn on the horizon. Unto that morrow, we have to transform the young impressionable minds. Every plan and its execution at SMES are arranged in such a manner that this ultimate goal will be achieved.

SMHS  insignia is an illuminated lamp with the motifs 'Jagat Jyoti, Vishwa Prem' carved around it. It meaningfully symbolizes our efforts to illumine the world by eliminating the intellectual bankruptcy, illiteracy and superstitious practices and beliefs. Universal love prods us never to forget to give succor to the destitute and the down trodden and our Social Service Club actively patronises the old age homes and orphanages.

Jagat Jyoti and Vishwa Prem are our twin mottos. The light of the world ( Jagat Jyoti) concept is conceived from the teaching of Jesus and love for the world (Vishwa Prem) is enshrined in the Upanishads. These ideals would enable the children to achieve the kingdom of God, the Ram Rajya of Gandhiji's dream.
