Student Profile From the Head of School - Episcopal Academy

This MonthNews andEventsat EpiscopalMay 2006From the Head of SchoolHow should we assess a year in the life of our school? How can wetell how we are doing?The Education Committee of the Board of Trustees at Episcopalasks these questions, and there are always some numbers wecan review to give us an idea. We track our own admissions data—howmany inquired, how many applied, and how many chose to enroll? Wereview college admissions results—how many will enroll at the most competitive colleges anduniversities? We also study the success of the annual fund, we study our test scores, and wekeep a close eye on our budget.By these measures we are having a very good year. In college admissions, our seniors havedone very well—53 of 117 will matriculate to what our guidance office terms “most highlycompetitive” and “Tier 1+” institutions. The annual fund is running ahead of last year’s recordpace. We are keeping our SAT scores up, we had eight National Merit Finalists this year, andin May, 128 of our students will sit for 260 Advanced Placement exams. Finally, unless thereare some major surprises, we will complete the year with another balanced budget.We are doing fine by the numbers, but what is more interesting to me, and in some ways moretelling about the school, is to look at some of our individual students and to review a samplingof their collective accomplishments.You and every sports fan around the country know about the success of our boys’ basketballteam under the leadership of coach Dan Dougherty and All American captains WayneEllington and Gerald Henderson. However, did you know that we had 121 students receiveawards on the National Latin exam and 13 on the National Greek exam? Did you knowthat Devon 5th grader Karen Christianson won the national prize for best music compositionby a lower school student and that her piece was sung by our Devon Choir at the NationalAssociation for Music Education’s annual conference in Salt Lake City several weeks ago?Did you know that science teacher Andrea Zimmerman and four of her freshmen biologystudents worked with a school in Germany on an online project on illegal drug traffickingand presented their work at the National Association for Independent Schools annualconference in Boston in March? Did you know that senior trumpeter J.P. Galib was namedto the Philadelphia Regional Jazz Band, senior Michael Chang was named first chair cellistfor the Pennsylvania state orchestra, and junior John Trumbull won first prize in the 2006Singing City competition for young composers? Were you aware that eight Middle and UpperSchool students won awards at the Montgomery County language proficiency contest or thatour Middle School Model United Nations team won the best delegation award at the GeorgeWashington Conference on International Affairs? Did you know that 5th grader John Sailewon an essay contest about Ben Franklin sponsored by the National Constitution Center,senior Michele Thomas won a scholarship from African American Future Achievers, seniorMedha Khandelwal is a finalist in the Presidential Scholar competition, senior Sarah Steeleappeared in an episode of Law and Order, and 13 Devon students won the state physicalfitness prize…again! And lastly, Helena Cochrane, Upper School Chair of Modern Languages,took members of the Spanish Club to Sheridan Elementary School in North Philadelphia, PA.The club members brought books that they planned to read, in both Spanish and English,and donate to the first grade English as a Second Language class. The experience was such apositive experience that the Spanish Club hopes to continue their visits to Sheridan.StudentProfileMichelle Thomas ’06 accepteda certificate of achievement fromMcDonald’s ® Owner/Operator CleoAlston of Downingtown, PA, at the2006 Ronald McDonald HouseCharities ® /African American FutureAchievers Scholarship AwardsCelebration on February 28,2006, at the Hyatt Regency Penn’sLanding in Philadelphia.The program awarded 20 localhigh school students $1,000college scholarships for academicachievement and commitmentto the community.

The last gathering in March began a two-part series onthe role stereotypes play in our lives, both individually and collectively. Thenext meeting will examine bias as manifest in the “snap judgments” we oftenmake. While many of us would like to believe that we are not prejudiced,scholars at Harvard University have created a test that provides powerfulevidence indicating that perhaps we all are. Assuming we accept the results,what can we do about it? Come and share as we take the Web version ofwhat is known as the “Implicit Association Test” and discuss the results.As always, these meetings are open to all EA parents. Diversity andCommunity Life Parent meetings are structured to provide a safe,comfortable, and welcoming environment for parents to engage in open andhonest conversation about living and learning in a diverse community. Childcare will be provided.We hope to see you there!Seizing Opportunity: A Look atEpiscopal’s History...Come join alumni at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 6th, in Christ Chapelfor a panel discussion “Seizing Opportunity: A Look At Episcopal’s Historyof Determining Its Own Future From Philadelphia to Merion to NewtownSquare.” The panel, held during Alumni Weekend, will be moderated by GeeHeckscher ’56 and will include architects of the new campus, along with keymembers of the school community who were part of the decision-makingprocess to build the new campus.Athletic Schedule Changes OnlineLooking for the latest game cancellations for the day?

AtLast, by Sandra Fenichel Asher,based on the play by Avi. A publicperformance will be held at 7:30p.m. on May 19th in the Theater onthe Merion Campus.What is love? That’s the questionEd Sitrow asks himself when hediscovers that his best friend, Pete Saltz, is in love with Anabell Stackpool,but is too shy to even look at her. When Ed discovers that timid Anabellfeels the same way about Pete, he and Lucy Neblit enlist their friends tohelp bring the lovesick pair together. They convince the principal to let themstage their own version of Romeo and Juliet, which they have been studyingin English class, and rig the casting so that Pete is Romeo and Anabell isJuliet. The plan seems like a perfect one, but lack of expertise; only twoweeks of rehearsal; leftover sets and costumes from previous shows; and aclassmate’s villainy threaten the production every step of the way. On theday of the performance, everything that can go wrong does. Yet, in spite ofeverything—or maybe because of it—true love triumphs in the end.Oklahoma! - A Success!The Upper School production of Oklahoma successfully appeared in frontof close to full houses at each performance. Over 60 of our Upper Schoolerscontributed to make it a wonderful theatrical event.Upper School Performs at Disney WorldThe Upper School Concert Choir, Vocal Ensemble, Concert Band, JazzCombo, and Chamber Orchestra performed in Walt Disney World as partof Magic Music Days Sunday, April 2-5, 2006. Besides the performances,the ensembles also participated in choral and instrumental workshops withDisney clinicians.3 This Month at Episcopal May 2006

EAPA NewsMay is my favorite month of the year. It has a greatfeeling of anticipation and celebration. Thereare graduations, weddings, Mother’s Day andall manner of family gatherings. The weatheris beautiful and everyone seems to have extra pep in theirstep. Students and faculty are happy that school is just aboutover, though there are requirements still to be fulfilled as Isometimes have to remind my children. Doesn’t summer seemthe appropriate reward for completing another successfulschool year? As parents we feel the stress when our childrenare in school also. We have given them the great gift of awonderful education, and we hope and pray they appreciateit and take advantage of all that they can. Summer is the timefor us to take leave of our academic concerns and concentrateon more mundane issues. It is serious business being a parenttoday. I hope in some small way the EAPA has contributed toyou having a bit of fun this year whether it was running in the5K, taking your kids to Harvest Day or to build a gingerbreadhouse, doing the “hustle” in a line dance at Starfest, enjoyingfriends at the Fashion Show, going on the House Tour, orvolunteering on one of our many committees. One of our goalsas an organization is to foster camaraderie among parents, andI personally feel it is the most important objective. Getting toknow other parents serves us well when our children are goingthrough the challenging Upper School years. On that note, Iinvite all Upper School parents to an eye-opening meeting onMay 1st at 7:30 p.m. in the Music Studio, where a panel ofour graduating seniors will tell us what it is really like socially,emotionally, and academically, while navigating high school atEA.
