Welcome to the 2006-07 school year and to the St. Margaret’s Episcopal School home page. We hope you will find this resource useful in learning more about the school or discovering ways to be even more involved in the life of our school community. This current school year promises to be one of excitement and growth as the first projects of our campus master plan become reality with the dedication and opening of the Pasternack Field House and DeYoung Family Math and Science Center. The Field House will significantly enhance our indoor athletic space for all divisions of the school, and the new classroom wing will provide five state-of-the-art science labs and six additional classrooms for our Upper School program. With the completion of these projects this summer, we will then be positioned to move ahead with the construction of a new Middle School and Performing Arts Center as well as much needed additions and renovations to the Church administrative building. As these projects move forward, we will be sure to use this site to provide updates on the latest developments.

While nothing takes the place of a genuine immersion into the life of a school, we hope that this site will provide a comprehensive overview of the many facets of St. Margaret’s that bring value and meaning to members of our school community. Many people have joined together to produce what we hope you will find an informative and stimulating exploration of life at St. Margaret’s today. As we begin our 28th year, this site will continue to be used as a basis for communication on a variety of levels: from the presentation of interesting and timely educational issues and concerns to regular posting of calendars and school events. In addition, we look forward to staying in touch with our many alumni through this medium as they move on with their lives beyond St. Margaret’s.

I very much look forward to the excitement ahead. For new and returning families, please feel free to visit my office or contact me via email at Marcus.Hurlbut@smes.org. For families beginning to explore the opportunities afforded at St. Margaret’s, I encourage you to arrange a visit through our admissions office.
