School History & Details

Edith and Isabel Fenwick, two English sisters, founded St. Margaret's School in 1908; their friend Margaret Barton soon followed. The School was founded at 810 Cook Street in a modest home. When enrollment grew, the school relocated across the street to a larger home at 813 Cook Street. Shortly after, it purchased the next-door home at 819 Cook Street for more classroom space. Plans for a new school and boarding house to handle the School's expanding student body were in the works by the spring of 1911.
