St. Margaret's Episcopal School

I went to this school way back in the olden days, from 1st Grade until 8th. I give it credit for shaping a lot of who I am. To this day, my best education came from this school. It was rigorous and gave me a strong work ethic, as well as a desire to succeed. I went to a public High School after this, which ended up being a total cake-walk. The teachers were wonderful, and I adored Father Sillers. While I don’t remember much of what I learned in High School, what I learned at St. Margaret’s really stuck. I remember picking apart all the metaphors in To Kill A Mockingbird for an entire trimester in 6th Grade. What an impact that has had throughout my life! My love of learning, reading, and the classics began at this school (and the Oxford comma, haha). I learned to be a critical thinker. My faith grew strong here as well, without it ever feeling preachy or forced on me. It’s one of few Christian-based schools that found a way to strike the right balance. I know a lot of people who lost their faith after attending a hard-core Christian or Catholic school. I formed a deep relationship with Christ here, that was my own. I never talked about it, because it was my own. It has stuck with me throughout my life. Today I don’t follow any one church, I follow Christ’s teachings only—love for EVERYONE, compassion, tolerance, open-mindedness, forgiveness, and non-judgement of others. I learned this from my parents, but it was also reinforced at this school. I owe a great deal to it. It will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Visit nearby Cook Park with family and enjoy a wonderful park with basketball, BBQs, and even a few slides for the little ones. Great neighborhood.

Very efficiently run Catholic school.
