History

Early years

Saint Andrew's School, named for the patron saint of Scotland, began as a boarding high school for boys, and was founded by the Episcopal School Foundation led by The Rev. Hunter Wyatt-Brown, Jr. who became the first headmaster. The late Alexander D. Henderson, a retired Avon Products, Inc. executive, and his wife, Lucy (Lucia Maria Ernst), provided significant private donations during the early years.

The first chapel services were held in a palmetto frond roof hut built by Seminole Indians. Today, the co-educational K-12 school has several buildings and resembles a small college campus. While the original "Chickee chapel" was replaced by a full size chapel, a new one has just been built, through the donations of an anonymous person, to honor Reverend George E. Andrews II.
