Community

Students, families, alumni, and friends, all part of one Red Knight community.

From the halls and classrooms to the fields, stage, and chapel, life at Benilde-St. Margaret's is vibrant and full of connection. This is a place where students, faculty, families, and alumni gather and grow together, building bonds that carry into the world.

Just as every student is unique, so is the way each person experiences community here. However you connect—through a team, a shared faith, or a lifelong friendship—you will find your place among the Red Knights.

Ways to Participate and Belong

Community at BSM takes many forms, for students, parents, alumni, and friends alike. These are the groups, events, and traditions that bring Red Knights together.

Hear From Our Community

“We appreciate the traditions the school carries out and the love from its alumni. Our kids have grown at BSM in their faith, friendships, confidence, and most of all, learning to advocate for themselves. We love the BSM community feel, the sea of Red at sporting events, and are proud to have our kids be Red Knights.”

Laura and Drew Giertsen, BSM Current Parents

“I love being a Red Knight because of the sense of community and connection throughout the school. From sports teams to classes, it really does feel like you know everyone, even if you've never met them.”

Madeleine Murry ‘25

“To me, the BSM community and staff is a close, more intimate environment that seems to genuinely care about the experience and well being of the whole student and family. The connections and efforts through BSM seem to go beyond just four years in high school or six years including middle school. It’s like once you become a member of the BSM family, it’s a lifelong journey.”

Sean Lumpkin '88

“I am fortunate to teach in our middle school, which allows me to stay in contact with students well beyond the year I teach them. I have really enjoyed seeing students grow not only academically, but also as leaders in our community following their own passions and interests as they move through grades 6-12.”

Lauren Reuss, Middle School Science Teacher
