Mission of St. Mary Magdalen School is to teach and share the Catholic faith, values, and traditions with our students.
In partnership with the parents we educate our children in the setting of a Christian community.
Our educational program focuses on educating the whole child, spiritually, intellectually, psychologically, physically, socially and culturally.
We provide an education that emphasizes the acceptance of diversity, personal responsibility, the importance of self-respect and respect for others, as well as the Christian commitment to bring Christ to the world in which we live through our call to service.
