According to various speeches and unread books and articles, St. Margarets was founded in 1978 by Father Sillers.  The first couple of years were rough indeed, with graduating class of no more than 10 or 15 students and virtually no text books or school equipment.  The first 10 years of St. Margaret's might be compared to the current state of affairs at Junipero Serra High School, Sage Hill, or even CVCS, a school that does not believe in the theory of evolution.  But through a combination of luck and skill the school would soon grow to the point of national notoriety.  Much celebration came with the school's inclusion in Princeton Review's prestigous top 443 private schools in the United States book.  Other high points including multiple CIF championships confirmed the school's importance.
