History
staying true to our founding vision
St. George Episcopal School was founded as the Pilgrim School in 1954. The first classes, held at the Pilgrim Congregational Church, were kindergarten for ages three to five years old. That initial choice to focus on the formative years of education is the same one we make today. Because children's cognitive abilities and patterns are most easily influenced and molded between age four and puberty, concentration on this core age group is vital.
Under the visionary leadership provided by our founding director, Mrs. Margie Boggus, the Pilgrim School prospered and, in time, needed more space. In 1972, the elders of St. George Church invited the Pilgrim School to make its home at St. George. Eventually, St. George added a middle school and expanded many of its programs.
In 2005, our current Head of School, Robert Devlin, was appointed to carry on Mrs. Boggus’ legacy of quality education, community, and Christian values that is the core strength of St. George School. We look forward to the promising future that lies ahead as we continue to help families provide exceptional education for their children in a loving Christian community.
