The school, variously called St. Margaret's Academy, St. Margaret's Hall, and St.
Margaret's School, was a girls school established by the Episcopal Church in 1892,
housed in a large brick building called St. Margaret's Hall, built for it the same year at
First & Idaho Street. There were dormitory rooms in St. Margaret's Hall, for the school
served both boarding and commuting students. Ages ranged from kindergarten through
high school.
When Boise Junior College was established in 1932 under the auspices of the Episcopal
Church, it was housed in St. Margaret's Hall and the associated buildings on the block.
An advertisement in the Idaho Statesman of August 15, 1932, as well as an article in the
paper on September 6, 1932, indicate that St. Margaret's School continued to operate that
same year, too. The advertisement indicated that college faculty would teach high school
classes for the girls' school. The first catalog of Boise Junior College (issued May 1932)
says the college was "affiliated with St. Margaret's School," though each seemed to
maintain a separate corporate identity. Dick d'Easum, Statesman columnist and
prominent Episcopal layman, in a column in the Statesman on May 31 , 1959, indicates
that St. Margaret's School closed in 1933. The BJC catalog for 1933-34 no longer
indicates any affiliation with St. Margaret's School.
Boise Junior College continued to occupy St. Margaret's Hall until the summer of 1940
when it moved to the current campus along the Boise River. The building was then
occupied by St. Luke's Hospital's nursing school. It was demolished in 1959.

Cornerstones dedicated
from St. Margaret's Hall
Two elderly Boise women stood
Monday near the cornerstones
from St. Margaret's Hall, an Epis­copal
school they attended ahnost
50 years ago.
"It was just a big family group,"
76-year-old Priscilla Nichols said of
the school. The pair discussed the
uniforms they wore when they
were students. "We even had
matching hats for a while" Eliza­beth
Lane, 78, said.
Nichols and Lane were at Boise
State University on Tuesday for
the dedication of the cornerstones
from St. Margaret's Hall, which be­came
Boise Junior College in 1932.
Eight years later, the college
moved to its current site.
St. Margaret's was demolished
during expansion of St. Luke's Re­gional
Medical Center. The build­ing
stood where the Anderson Cen­ter
is now - 101 W. Bannock St.
BSU President John Keiser,
Episcopal Bishop David Birney,
Boise Mayor Dirk Kempthome
and former Boise Junior College
faculty member Sally Runner
spoke at the dedication.
The cornerstones, recovered from
a warehouse, have been incorpo­rated
into a student area outside
the Business Building. One of the
stones is about 4 feet long and 3
feet high. Engraved on it are the
words: "St. Margaret's Hall Annex,
1906 A.O." Below that are the
words "Veritas vincit," which is
Latin for "Truth conquers." -
