Saint Margaret Mary School provides a complete Catholic educational experience in a faith-filled, safe, and happy environment.  While instilling a love for God, for self, and for others; the administration, faculty, and staff strive to promote peacemaking, self-discipline, and learning through a variety of experiences.  The ideal outcome of this vocation will lead to well–rounded individuals who will become future leaders in our church and in the world.

Core Values and Beliefs of Saint Margaret Mary School:  We believe... We must provide an excellent religious and academic education in a Catholic environment.

We must help each child grow in faith, knowledge, and sense of service to the community within and outside the school. Self-esteem, self-discipline, a spirit of cooperation, and a desire to learn are values which we must encourage and incorporate into our curriculum and foster in our multi-cultural school community.  In this humbling mission, teachers are partners with our parents: the primary educators of the children entrusted to them. Evangelization is part of our mission to both Catholic and non-Catholic members of the St. Margaret Mary community.  St. Margaret Mary School is a family oriented school guided by caring, qualified teachers.
