Deeply rooted in the history and culture of Harlem, St. Mark the Evangelist School has been educating local youth for over one hundred years. Our school was founded by Saint Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament in 1912 as the first Catholic school in New York City for African-American children. A century later, St. Mark continues to carry out its original mission: “to provide a holistic education that is academically fulfilling, shaped by Catholic values, and attentive to the heritage of African-Americans.”
