As a college-preparatory institution, St. Margaret’s academic excellence is rooted in vigor, choice and relevance and made possible by a strong foundation of educational expertise, research and best practices.
At St. Margaret's Episcopal School, we believe that everyone is on an artistic journey. Through experiences in the visual arts, music, dance, theater and technical arts, students discover and nurture the artists within.
As an extension of the classroom, our athletic teams are committed to remaining at the forefront of innovation and progressive leadership so that our student-athletes may achieve at the highest possible level.
At St. Margaret’s, students are encouraged to explore their own interests in this vibrant, close-knit community, and Tartans seek opportunities for growth in athletics, the arts, service learning, leadership and more.
St. Margaret's Cross Country Teams Excel at Gaucho Invitational
The Tartans fared well in Santa Barbara this past weekend.
St. Margaret's cross country program opened the 2025 campaign at the Gaucho Invitational in Santa Barbara over Labor Day weekend and turned in top-10 performances.
The Tartan girls squad finished in fourth place out of 13 teams despite a challenging start. Sophomore Heidi Beshk led the Tartans, finishing 12th out of 129 in the race.
St. Margaret's boys finished fifth out of 11, an improvement from their seventh-place finish in 2024. Juniors Samarth Wadhwa and Zach Causee, who both finished within 2 seconds of each other, placed 16th and 17th, respectively, out of 79 competitors.
"Coach Good and I were incredibly excited to get the season started and were very happy to see the team compete well. We are always impressed with this group's ability to overcome adversity and lift each other up," said co-head coach Ryan Thompson. "Seeing our girls team support and care for each other speaks volumes about the culture they have created. They will lean on that bond come November when they chase back-to-back CIF titles."
The Tartans will next compete at the Woodbridge Invitational on Friday, September 19.
