The St. Andrew's School Archive collection is an ongoing project aimed at preserving the School's rich history. Many individuals have helped to compile these archives, including Bill Amos, Ellie Washburn, Bob Moss and Edith M. Pell, Wife of St. Andrew's first Headmaster, who captured the School's early years in her scrapbooks. Committed archivists Alice M. Ryan and Chester Baum have also helped bring St. Andrew's past to life.
We invite you to use this comprehensive Web site to browse our archival collections, research the School's history and delve into nearly a century of life and learning at
St. Andrew's.
