St. Margaret Regional School is a Pre-K to 8th grade regional Catholic educational institution that has been in continuous operation for nearly 60 years. At St. Margaret Regional School, Catholic values are a top priority. We offer a secure and disciplined learning environment. We strive for total education, which includes growth in religious awareness and appreciation of morals and values, for each of our over 600 students. Our faculty consists of degreed and experienced teachers who carefully balance the elements of a nurturing classroom with the ability to raise the bar of education and help each child achieve their highest potential. Our staff has nearly 400 years combined teaching experience.

St. Margaret Regional School challenges students to develop knowledge, skills and work habits needed to excel in this increasingly complex world. Our curriculum is updated continuously to keep pace with changing standards.  We offer accelerated and advanced math and reading courses. Spanish is taught beginning in Preschool 3 through 8^th grade for maximum retention.

Our comprehensive Religious Education curriculum incorporates the Catholic philosophy in each academic area.  Prayer is integrated throughout the school day and our clergy is highly involved in school and student activities.  Students also are prepared to receive the Sacraments:  Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2^nd Grade and Confirmation in 8^th Grade.  In addition, St. Margaret Regional School participates in the tradition of First Friday Mass and each grade prepares individual class masses throughout the school year.

We accept applications for admissions throughout the school year. Watch our website home page for information on our annual fall and winter open house events.
