Bridge the Gap Campaign:
To support the cost of educating each student, St. Margaret Mary School families are asked to participate in the Bridge the Gap Campaign each year or contribute through their Sunday and Holy Day giving to make up the difference between the tuition and the cost to educate.
- Non-Catholic school families may contribute to the Bridge the Gap Fund to make up the difference between the cost of tuition and the total cost to educate.
In the 2025-2026 school year, St. Margaret Mary Church provides the school with a subsidy for all students, regardless of religious affiliation. St. Margaret Mary Parish subsidizes $2,798 per student, 41% of the total cost to educate each student.
The Total Cost to Educate each student in 2025-2026 is projected to be $6,793. Both School and Parish families may contribute to the Bridge the Gap Fund to make up the $2,798 per student difference between the Cost to Educate and Tuition.
