Mission Statement
TO BE CHRIST, it is our purpose to enable
each student, together with his/her family, to grow
spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and
socially and to realize his/her potential as a child of God
and another Christ.
History
St. Margaret Regional School has been
providing quality education since 1965. The Franciscan
Missionary Sisters of the Infant Jesus, along with our
devoted lay teachers, have maintained a school environment
which promotes learning and encourages Catholic Christian
Values.
Academics
The Academic program offered at St,
Margaret's Regional School follows guidelines recommended by
the Diocese of Camden. Textbooks are continually
evaluated. Library, health, physical education, music
and art are regularly taught, as well as computer
literacy.
- Math (click here to

Advanced Math Placement is offered to
students starting in fifth grade. Selection for
Advanced Math Placement is based on diocesan criteria, the
principal, and the teacher. The criteria is based on
student performance in the IOWA and in the classroom.
The students represent St. Margaret's in a variety of math
contests and competitions.

At the end of each academic year students
that have maintained honor grades are given awards at our academic
awards ceremony.
This year St. Margaret's Class of 2007
received over $120,000 in scholarships for the Catholic high
schools they will be attending.
Of the educational programs available to the
Catholic community, Catholic schools afford the fullest and
best opportunity to realize the threefold purpose of
Christian education among children and young people.
Our religious education program helps our children to form a
sound basis for moral and ethical decisions, and helps them
to acquire an understanding of their relationship with God
and each other. Some of our religious activities are:
First Friday Mass, Reconciliation, Lenten Para-liturgies,
Vocation Awareness, Food & toy collection, Individual
Class Mass, Advent Para-liturgies, Rosary/May Crowning and
Mission Awareness.
Our Vision Continues to Expand
I have been told that the Chinese symbol for
crisis is the same symbol for opportunity. We are
definitely in a time of change in the Diocese with the
consolidation of local schools and parishes within our
cluster. At Saint Margaret's we continue to expand our
vision and aim for improvements to our facility to offer
premier catholic elementary education. Current expansion
projects include: art/music room improvements, science lab
expansion, improved playing fields, and bleachers and
lavatories in our gym.
