Dame de Namur opened the doors for the first classes on September 14, 1925, and taught in the school for the next 45 years. In 1970, St. Martin's was the first Catholic school established in Montgomery County. The Sisters of Notre the Sisters withdrew from their teaching role at St. Martin's. The Pastor, Monsignor Paul Meyer, and the Parish Council continued their commitment to Catholic education by establishing a School Board and Home and School Association (HSA), and the transition to an all-lay faculty was made. In 1988, the new school and parish center building was opened, through the dedication and efforts of Rev. Americo DiNorcia, and the school expanded to include a licensed After-Care Program.
Today, the school offers an excellent academic program under the direction of the Principal and an outstanding faculty and staff. Together with the Pastor, Reverend Mark Brennan, and the assistant pastors, St. Martin's staff provides an excellent faith-centered education program.
