Recent Changes

The school was forced to convert their nearby storage building into the replacement elementary school over the summer of 2011 as the original was destroyed in a tornado on May 22, 2011. As of 2016 the building is now used for St. Peter's Middle School as St. Mary's Elementary school has built a new building at 3025 S Central City Rd, Joplin, MO 64804.
Due to limited space in the temporary elementary building, McAuley lets the middle school use their facilities for PE, lunch, and art classes.
