Honoring Our Heritage
Maryville was created out of the Society of the Sacred Heart's deep commitment to service, education and faith, and the indomitable spirit of one of the order's first and greatest pioneers, Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne. These strong and courageous female leaders set the stage for generations of students to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
"You may dazzle the mind with a thousand brilliant discoveries of natural science; you may open new worlds of knowledge which were never dreamed of before; yet, if you have not developed in the soul of the pupil strong habits of virtue which will sustain her in the struggle of life, you have not educated her, but only put in her hand a powerful instrument of self-destruction.”

"I had such a positive experience as a student at Maryville. There’s just a feeling here that’s so much different than anywhere else I have experienced. People keep asking me what it’s like to come back and work at my alma mater. I tell them it’s kind of like coming home.”

"I can remember taking the Great Books course. It didn’t bother me one bit to be able to respectfully disagree with a professor. So I think that was an extremely valuable lesson that we received at Maryville — how to disagree respectfully with people.”

"Maryville students possess people skills, leadership skills, organizational skills and competitiveness. Employers want people who have worked through college, might have put themselves through college, can roll up their sleeves and possess a good work ethic.”
