St. Margaret's
The St. Margaret's quizbowl and history bowl teams (also listed as "St. Margaret's Episcopal" in rankings & standings) have represented the Tartans of St. Margaret's Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, CA since the beginning of the 2018-19 competition season. Both the SMES history & quizbowl programs were established in 2018 by history specialist Nate Kang (Class of 2022), a seasoned veteran of NHBB and four-time national semifinalist in the bee, in his first year at the school.
