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.
Tartan Student-Athletes Honored as CIF Southern Section Academic Awardees
Girls Swimming and Diving, Lila Wohlgemuth and Ryan Chin are 2025-2026 academic champions.
St. Margaret's was well represented in the 38th CIF Southern Section Ford Academic Awards, announced March 24.
The Tartan girls swimming and diving program as well as St. Margaret's student-athletes Lila Wohlgemuth and Ryan Chin have achieved academic as well as athletic greatness for the school.
To be considered, teams must have at least five student-athletes with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA average (4.0 scale) in the first semester or first two quarters of the 2025-26 school year. The highest team GPA in each sport category by CBED enrollment determines the winner. Schools are divided into two CBED enrollment categories: 1500 and above and 1499 and below. The team with the highest GPA in each enrollment category for each sport receives the award. The academic team winners will be honored in a pre-game ceremony before the April 20 game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Additionally, each CIF-SS member school names a male and a female "Student-Athlete of the Year" that must be a senior having maintained a minimum of a 3.5 GPA (4.0 scale) over the past three years, in addition to earning a letter in at least one varsity sport and participating in extracurricular activities at the school.
