The mission of St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Elementary School is to assist each and every one of our school community members to grow in wisdom, caring and courage. We strive, as did our patron saint, to help all become strong and gentle messengers of God’s love. It is within our mission to work in partnership with our parents and parish in the formation of children so that our students may draw from the life of Jesus to become contributing members of their families, community and the Catholic Church. We are committed in providing a sound, quality Catholic education in a genuine caring environment where each child may grow to his/her full potential.
"St. Margaret of Scotland (1045-1093), the granddaughter of an English king, was born in Hungary. Regarded as a strong woman of valiant character, St. Margaret was convicted intensely in the Faith and was a devoted wife and mother. She knew hardship and suffering, and she embraced them with great virtue. St. Margaret would perform charitable acts for the poor. In loving and honoring them, she was loving and honoring Christ. These included washing their feet and serving them food. St. Margaret of Scotland is a patron saint for service to the poor and her feast day is Nov. 16."
