Founded in 1972 by Dr. James and Mrs. Helen Spencer and chartered as an Episcopal day school and non-profit corporation governed by a self-sustaining Board of Trustees, Saint Michael’s is an independent school that maintains close relations with local parishes through the Episcopal Community Network. The school relocated to its present seven acres on South College Avenue in 1990.
From the very beginning, Saint Michael’s undertook the mission of providing a superior education in an atmosphere of kindness and moral courage. The school grew over time to include a high school, from which the first senior graduated in 1983. Since then graduates have gone on to matriculate at excellent universities and have pursued careers of honor and accomplishment.
Recent years have witnessed campus expansions and improvements to its infrastructure. Mrs. Spencer retired following the 2006-2007 school year, leaving behind an enduring legacy of an education that strikes the proper balance between head and heart, mind and character - - the balance that cultivates and sustains enlightened leadership for the future good of all.
