The St. Margaret's Commons
St. Margaret’s is dedicated to seeing its students thrive, and recognizes that such growth is cultivated through community, connection, and thoughtful, intentional environments dedicated to their health and well-being.
With that, St. Margaret’s proudly introduces Tartans Thrive: Campaign for a Common Purpose. This campaign will energize the school community to engage with elements of human thriving: healthy bodies, minds and spirits, and meaningful connection.
The centerpiece of the Tartans Thrive campaign is the St. Margaret’s Commons, a 30,000-square-foot, two-story building that will serve all Tartans in their nutrition, fitness and well-being. The Commons will be a gathering space for students of all ages and provide myriad benefits for the entire school community. It is a critical next step in the development of the St. Margaret’s campus, and will benefit students’ health and wellness for years to come.

“We know that human thriving is built over a lifetime of healthy habits of mind and body, positive purposeful engagement and community, and the quality of our relationships. Research informs us that social, emotional and physical health are key factors impacting learning and development in children. It is essential for us to create programs and environments that are geared toward healthy living and positive social engagement for our students.
All of these things are intentionally nurtured and practiced here at St. Margaret’s, and will be further explored and enhanced by the St. Margaret’s Commons.”
“The St. Margaret’s Commons would provide St. Margaret’s students not only a place to feel at home on campus, but also a space to decompress and foster a healthy school-life balance.”
“The new Commons will be great because we can eat healthier and I am really excited about the spaces to work out.”
