Art
Students attend art class once per week and create a variety of hands-on projects which include drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. During class, students explore many art media, develop their understanding of composition, and study artists both past and present, while also practicing how to use art as a means of self-expression. St. Margaret Mary artists have many opportunities to share and display their artwork throughout the year both on campus and at community events.

Students can also choose to be a part of the many musical ensembles and perform in a variety of events held in our school, church, and community!
