St. Michael’s is a thriving, faith-based school where children become independent thinkers and grow into responsible young adults grounded in Catholic values. Principal Miragliotta states, “This year our theme is God & Me in Everything. We are focused on reinforcing that each child is someone special, something priceless, someone who is different from every other person who has ever lived. Each child is a gift to us, to their family, to their local community and our world. “

The school is Middle States Accredited and offers full day kindergarten, before and after care, plus after school sports, drama and scouting programs. St. Michael’s also has an award-winning LEGO League team for grades 3-8.
