St. Margaret's began, as most enduring institutions do, with a simple idea - the idea that young girls deserve a quality education that equips them with the moral and spiritual foundation to carry them through their lives. For 100 years, St. Margaret's School has laid the important foundations for our alumnae. We are part of an Episcopal network of schools that was the dream of Bishop William Cabell Brown; and, in 1919, it became a priority for the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. And so it began.
