Dr. Mae McMillan
Founder

Dr. Mae McMillan, Pine Crest’s
founder and continued source of
inspiration, has been a pioneer in
every sense of the word. The mother of
four small children, she began a
tutorial school for the children of Fort
Lauderdale’s winter visitors in 1934
and has seen her emphasis on quality
education and concern for each
individual student help shape a prep
school of the highest caliber that now
is housed on its third campus and is
internationally recognized for its
educational excellence. In recognition
of her contribution to education, Mrs.
McMillan’s Alma Mater, Yankton
College, conferred on her an honorary
Doctor of Education degree in 1969.

Today Dr. McMillan is still a vital part
of Pine Crest affairs, and she continues
to be concerned about the success of
her students. A good mind deserves
the finest training, a good body
deserves the finest care, and a
beautiful campus deserves apprecia­
tion and respect. By these words, Dr.
Mae McMillan has lived, and she
wishes her students to join her.

THE McMILLAN FAMILY continues to be
involved in Pine Crest. Dr. McMillan’s great
granddaughter, Kathy Mae McMillan, is an
elementary school student at Pine Crest.
