School Families
Students are each assigned to a small group that consists of children from every grade level, Kindergarten through eighth grade. This group becomes their "family". Each family is then assigned to one teacher that remains constant throughout the students' years at St. Margaret of York. This faith-filled time together incorporates character education and occasional service projects.
The goal of the family program is to foster community and build stronger relationships among students and staff. The family community provides leadership opportunities for our older students, especially those in eighth grade who become the family leaders in their last year at SMOY.

We have a thriving musical theater program at St. Margaret of York. The theater program lets students in grades 5-8 shine on and off the stage.
Live productions such as The Lion King, Willy Wonka, Peter Pan, and Mary Poppins are brought to life each spring. Children experience the joy and satisfaction of performing for the student body, friends and family.
In addition, we have a talent show each year where all students are invited to share their unique gifts and talents with classmates and families.
