St. Mary's Episcopal School

St. Mary's Episcopal School is a private, independent school for girls from age 2 through 12th grade. It is the oldest private school in Memphis, Tennessee〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entry.php?rec=1249 )〕 and has been described as being the oldest school for girls in the mid-south region.〔Andy Meek, Memphis Daily News, 2014, (Throckmorton Takes Reins at St. Mary’s ), Accessed June 2, 2014, "...oldest girls school in the Mid-South..."〕
==History==
St. Mary’s Episcopal School was established in 1847 by Mary Foote Pope. It is the oldest private school in Memphis. The school, founded at Calvary Episcopal Church, changed locations many times, including to Hernando, Mississippi in 1862 until the end of the Civil War.
From 1910 to 1949, Helen Loomis guided St. Mary's through the Great Depression and the two world wars. From 1949 to 1958, Gilmore Lynn directed St. Mary's through a period of growth, to 400 students. In 1953, she moved St. Mary's to its current location at the intersection of Perkins and Walnut Grove in Memphis.
Nathaniel C. Hughes was headmaster of St. Mary’s from 1962 to 1973. During his tenure, St. Mary's graduated an increasingly high percentage of National Merit Scholars, incorporated as an independent Episcopal school, and became the first independent girls’ school in Memphis to integrate its student body. Mary McClintock Davis, dean of the upper school from 1964 to 1979, "stood with Nat Hughes (the headmaster) to allow persons of all colors to be admitted" to the school. This occurred at a time when many private schools were being formed to avoid the integration in the public schools. St. Mary's grew rapidly during the 1970’s, with the upper school increasing from 107 to 250 students during Davis’s tenure. The school continued to have a diverse student body; in 2014, minorities represent a fifth of the student body.〔Note: in the 2013-2014 academic year, minorities comprised 26.4 percent of the student body.〕 The school expanded physically with several large construction projects during the 2000s.〔Memphis Daily News, 2006, ($9.5 Million in Building Permits Filed for St. Mary's School ), Accessed June 2, 2014〕 In 2012 it upgraded its data, network and phone telecommunications systems to permit greater use of technology.〔Andy Meek, Memphis Daily News, 2014, (Windstream Upgrades Tech at St. Mary’s Episcopal School ), Accessed June 2, 2014〕
