                                                                                    St. Margaret Mary Catholic School provides academic, spiritual, moral and social education to the students. Our school strives to develop a strong religious program based on a family atmosphere and Catholic values. Through our dedicated faculty and parish community, we nurture children to be life-long learners and who exemplify the Living Gospel through their active, community service and Christian character.

                                                                                    PHILOSOPHY

                                                                                    We, the Faculty and Administration of St. Margaret Mary School, readily accept our ministry of Catholic Education. We stress the importance of parents as the primary educators and religious trainers of their children and encourage an open and friendly communication between home, parish and school. In our eyes, the school is not a separate entity of the parish, but rather an active part of it.

                                                                                    We strive to create a family-like atmosphere which fosters the respect and dignity of each person and emphasizes the importance of developing healthy relationship with one another.

                                                                                    The Faculty and Administration integrate the Gospel message in all school subjects (when applicable), as well in all aspects of school life.

                                                                                    We recognize the unique needs, abilities, and gifts of each student. We endeavor to accommodate these needs, with our approach to instruction, within the scope of our curriculum.

                                                                                    Our goals encompass the Spiritual, Intellectual, Social, and Physical needs of the students we serve.

                                                                                    SAFE ENVIRONMENT
