Mission and Values
Mission Statement
St. Margaret Catholic School, a ministry of St. Margaret Parish, exists to educate the children of the parish and those who embrace our philosophy of educational excellence in the Catholic tradition through “Service to God and Others.” Guided by the Diocesan Curriculum our students are empowered to excel in academics. Fed and nourished by the Holy Eucharist, our students strive to become active participants in society and the church.
We believe that…
- The Catholic school is part of the community of faith and a ministry of the Church.
- Effective education develops the whole person while providing a positive educational experience.
- Every individual is created in the image of God and has inherent worth; therefore, we value and respect the diversity of each student.
- The success of the student is enhanced by parents and/or other influential adults through their support and involvement.
- Students are given the opportunity to grow in their commitment to service to God and others.
- Quality education can be attained only in an orderly, just, and nonviolent environment where students value their accomplishments.
- Each student should take an active role in their own learning.
- Children are our community’s most valuable asset.
