Our Mission Statement
St. Thomas More Catholic School is committed to continuing a legacy of excellence in religious and academic education in a nurturing environment that fosters self-discipline.
The Mother Seton Award is presented annually by each school in the Diocese of Baton Rouge to honor one individual within the home and school community who emulates the qualities and service of Mother Elizabeth Anne Seton, for whom the award is named. We are now accepting nominations for the STM 2026 Mother Seton Award. Click here to submit your nomination by Friday, February 6.
Mother Seton was the founder of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and a pioneer in Catholic education. She established the first Catholic elementary school in the United States in Baltimore in 1808 as well as an orphanage in Philadelphia in 1814. Through her life as a wife, mother, widow and member of a religious order, Mother Seton became an exemplary role model and an inspiration to others who follow in her footsteps. She was canonized in 1975 by Pope Paul VI.
There are several qualifications for this award:
The person nominated may be a man or woman and must be a current member of the Home and School Association. As a reminder, all parents and guardians are members of the Home and School Association.
Do you have a child entering school next year? Do you know a family looking for a school? Applications for new students are open at stmbr.org/apply. We have limited availability for qualified candidates. At this time, we have a wait list for 4th and 7th grade in 2026-2027.
When your child will be absent or tardy, email both attendance@stmbr.org and your child's homeroom teacher. Please provide the following: student name, grade, teacher, and reason for absenteeism or tardiness. This email may come any time prior to 7:30 a.m.
