St. Margaret Mary School vs. Our Lady Of Lourdes Continuation School

St. Margaret Mary School is dedicated to fostering the Catholic Faith, encouraging academic excellence, and providing opportunities for each student to develop spiritually, academically, emotionally and physically, in order to make a unique contribution to the enrichment of the community.

The purpose of St. Margaret Mary School is to provide a Christian educational community where human knowledge is illuminated by faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.

In His spirit, we constantly concern ourselves with the spiritual, academic, emotional, physical and social good of one another.

Our school goal flows from the fundamental understanding that the school is a Catholic Christian educational community.

We encompass the concept of education as a vital place of faith.

We strive to offer personal experiences in Christian living through liturgy, sacramental life, prayer, and example.

By fostering an understanding of our mutual responsibilities to one another, we promote Catholic principles in all areas of study.

There are two classes per grade with a few exceptions where there are 3 classes per grade.
