Welcome to St. Marguerites Catholic school! Our school was opened in 1981 with 53 preschool students in a converted convent. It was opened under the direction of Monsignor John Sullivan and Janet Barbiero as the director. In 2005, under the direction of Father Matt Wixted we were given permission to expand into the elementary grades. We currently have over 150 students enrolled and have classes from pre-k to sixth grade. Our average class size is 15 students per grade. With our small class sizes, we are able to provide our students with an individualized curriculum

St. Marguerite Catholic School is currently raising funds to build a brand new facility that will support classes from pre-k to sixth grade with staff offices and an extended day program. Our expansion is being directed by Father Hernando Diaz. As the only private school in Tooele County, we are looking forward to a larger facility where we can introduce Catholic values to more students and families.

St. Marguerite Catholic School is accredited by The Western Catholic Education Association. In addition, we belong to the National Catholic Education Association and are approved by the State of Utah.

St. Marguerite Catholic School is a unique faith-centered community. We integrate thought and belief by encouraging intellectual growth, nurturing faith and inspiring action. Each student is a valued individual with unique intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, and emotional needs. At St. Marguerite School we RISE as a community of learners, continually growing as Christ centered individuals throughout life’s journey. We welcome students of every religion and offer an education filled with love for God.
