School History

Faith Based School

Saint Marguerite Catholic School is a private, faith-based school serving Tooele County. We are an extension of the Saint Marguerite Catholic Parish, which was founded in 1910 to serve a growing immigrant population. The first church was funded, and named by the famous typist and QWERTY expert, Frank McGurrin whose niece Marguerite had recently passed.

St. Marguerite parish and school honors St. Marguerite Marie Alacoque as their patroness saint and celebrates her feast day October 16th each year. St. Marguerite had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and encouraged all believers to attend first Friday Masses which the school continues the tradition.

To support the parish’s growing population, in 1974, Saint Marguerite Catholic Church moved to its current location.

Hear From Parents Like You

Such an amazing school where I know my children aren’t being brainwashed by society. Love Mrs. Nielsen she is the greatest principal who is dedicated to her students and school, also amazing teachers who give their all
Kandyce Delgado
SMCS has been a guiding tool in my children's academic, spiritual and personal growth. The community truly centers the children with every opportunity to succeed in life.
Cristi Bissegger-Cozad
We choose St. Marguerite Catholic School because it feels like more than just a school — it feels like family. We value the strong Catholic foundation and the way faith is woven into everyday learning. It gives our son the opportunity to grow academically while also strengthening his character, values, and love for Jesus.
Noemi Jimenez
SMCS is not a school where one size fits all. Every teacher in the school knows the name of each student and is part of their social development and learning experience. Teachers lead with love and the teachings of Jesus. SMCS offers more opportunities for personal development and creative, hands-on learning.
Caroline Kunimura
As a mother, one of my biggest fears was that my child might experience the same struggles I faced growing up — feeling shy, struggling to make friends, or not feeling fully supported at school. Because my son is naturally shy, choosing the right environment for him felt incredibly important and deeply personal to me. Finding St. Marguerite’s Catholic School has been such a blessing for our family.
Kelsey Taylor
We first chose SMCS for its strong Christian values, and from the very first day, our son Joaquim was warmly welcomed as a newcomer from Brazil. The school’s care and attention made his transition smooth and positive, and we immediately felt at home—starting with the cheerful ‘Good morning!’ from the secretary, Mrs. Plazola, and knowing that Mrs. Nielsen, the principal, is always accessible for any questions or doubts about the school.
Paloma Meier
This school has been amazing for me and my son, they are so understanding welcoming and have become family to us. They go above and beyond to listen and understand your needs as a parent. I have had to talk to a couple teachers about worries that I have for my son when he was in preschool and all of them went above and beyond to make sure that my son was okay and to reassure me with the concerns that I had.
Kayley Barling
Our family absolutely loves this school. At one point, I had all of my children enrolled here. We later decided to try an academy school for a couple of them, thinking it might be a good opportunity, but it just wasn’t the right fit for our family. That experience made us appreciate even more what makes this school so special.
