All Archdiocesan high schools and elementary schools are accredited as a system through Cognia. Each school is evaluated based on the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools.

FACTS is the preferred provider of financial aid and tuition management services within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. All families must sign up and make payments through FACTS utilizing automatic payments (EFT) from a bank account, credit card, or processing checks sent to a secure processing center. Easy and convenient online registration will be available.

Tuition assistance awards are contingent upon a completed FACTS application, with all documentation submitted by August 15th. Please apply early to ensure maximum consideration for tuition grants.

St. Margaret School is uniquely blessed in the viability of its Home and School Association. The HSA comprises parents and guardians from the school community who work with the school and parish community to raise funds, of which the net proceeds are donated back to Saint Margaret School. For more information about the HSA, please visit their page.

Our school’s mission is to work with the parents to educate the students. Parents may volunteer to help the school in numerous areas and activities. Parent volunteering opportunities exist both during the school day and outside of school hours. It is hoped that each family can find someplace or activity to meet this need.

With our longstanding commitment in mind, all parishes and Archdiocesan Catholic schools use VIRTUS (formerly Shield the Vulnerable). This compliance management system allows all parishes and schools to facilitate compliance with Archdiocesan child protection requirements for all volunteers who work with minors, employees, and clergy.

Positive School Environment

To foster a positive school environment where all students are educated in a safe and caring atmosphere, all Archdiocesan schools will follow established procedures for preventing and intervening in bullying, harassment, or intimidation.

Positive Behavioral Intervention & Support (PBIS) has been implemented in every Archdiocesan elementary and high school to enhance students’ academic and social behavior outcomes.

PowerSchool lets parents keep current with their child’s progress by viewing grades online. See how to set up a parent access account to view your student’s grades and assignments on PowerSchool or how to add a child to an existing PowerSchool account.

The health and safety of our students are of the utmost importance. To ensure a safe and healthy environment, we need health forms, which can be found here.
