SMS on the River

For 104 years, St. Margaret’s School has been home to generations of young women. It is a place where students have grown into confident leaders, thoughtful scholars, and compassionate changemakers.

When our beloved school was unexpectedly closed in July 2025, we faced a defining moment: accept the end, or stand up for what we believe in.

We are a group of alumnae, educators, and friends who are proud to offer programs that embody the well-rounded education our school has always been known for. While we work to secure our permanent future, we're not waiting to serve our community.

On or off the court, our girls learn to be leaders.
