When the Founders, Miss Denny and Miss Geoghegan, planned for retirement, they formed the non-profit Queen Margaret’s Trust Society in 1954.

With the help of volunteers, QMS continues to provide an exceptional education for its students. When parents volunteer their time at QMS, it shows they are partners in their child’s education.

Athletics is one of the four pillars at Queen Margaret’s School, where physical fitness is emphasized and the life-long enjoyment of physical activities is encouraged.

QMS is more than just a school, it is a community. While students and teachers comprise the core, they are guided and enriched by administrators, support staff, and dedicated volunteers.

Miss Sybil Phoebe Spurgin passed away on April 4, 2013, and Queen Margaret’s School lost a living legend.
