FROM THE

HEAD OF

SCHOOL

It is hard to imagine a school where there

is more “good” happening than at EHS.

One good thing leads to another, my mother liked to say, and it

certainly remains true at Episcopal High School as we report on the

2018-2019 school year and begin 2019-2020. Last year, celebrated

in this Annual Report, was a success by any measure, and this year’s

opening month has only built success upon success. Your support,

financial and otherwise, makes it all possible.

We opened the year with some 750 students as we continue our

steady planned growth in the student body toward our ultimate goal

of 800 students. We grew the faculty and support staff in proportion,

of course, as we continue to maintain small class sizes across all

Four Pillars with an average class size of 13 students. We admitted a

freshman class of 198 students from 45 different middle schools; we

admitted 17 students in the sophomore and junior classes combined,

and they come from 11 different high schools. Last year’s seniors, 182

strong, were accepted at 161 different colleges and universities and will

attend 75 different schools. They were offered more than $20 million

in scholarships and grants. Through it all and over the last decade, the

school has maintained the lowest average rate of tuition increase across

all our peer schools in Houston along with the highest average rate of

increase to faculty and staff salaries over that same period. In addition,

we concluded our most recent construction project at Thanksgiving last

year with the opening of the new USC. Most important, we are proud

that EHS continues to operate without debt of any kind.

We are proud that we have preserved the best of our unique culture in

this period of growth, ensuring that the mission and overall experience

that led to our early success continues unabated, and arguably stronger,

today and in the years ahead. To help us remain focused, last year we also successfully concluded major revisions to the endowment’s bylaws

and the school’s Mission and Guiding Principles (see page 6). These changes, along with our strategic plan, led us to add a new senior position

for 2019-2020, the Director of Community and Inclusion about which you will learn more in the next issue of Pillars. For now, we are

pleased to introduce veteran dean, teacher and coach, Wayne Jones, featured on page 28. All of our successes are built on the strong history

of support from all our constituencies highlighted within this report.

In short, the School continues to work hard to firm up its many advantages and to seek opportunities to make progress above and beyond.

We have had the benefit of stable leadership as illustrated on page 35, where we call out the most senior of our faculty and staff who together

have dedicated 554 years to EHS. This longevity and the stability it creates is probably our greatest asset, as well as our Board of Trustees,

which continues to be strong in its individual members as well as in the collective support for the mission of the School.

It is hard to imagine a school where there is more “good” happening than at EHS. Our mission and gifts have met a pronounced need in

Houston and beyond, and we are excited for what the future holds. Thank you for all that you did and are yet to do to make this possible.

Go Knights,

Ned Smith, Head of School

FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

The Board of Trustees has three primary goals: to set the School’s strategic direction; to hire and

supervise the Head of School; and to protect the financial well-being of EHS. EHS continues to

be soundly managed and financially strong. The 2018-2019 school year at Episcopal High School

was marked by many successes. Here are a few highlights.

The New Underwood Student Center: In November, we blessed the new Underwood Student

Center, providing outstanding facilities for our community. We can now gather at break and lunch,

enjoy the beautiful displays of student artwork in the gallery, and indulge in a specialty coffee or

smoothie at the Forrest Place coffee bar, while the two innovation classrooms invite and inspire

students to learn and create. The project was completed on time and on budget, thanks to the

hard work of Shelley Barineau and the EHS Construction Committee. With high windows allowing

for natural light, stylish and comfortable furniture (thanks Amanda Johnson Whitehead ’87 and

Bridget Butler Wade ’87), students can hang out in the USC on their off periods to study, enjoy

friends, and more.

Mission Statement Revision: After a full year of analysis, discussion and revisions, a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees,

chaired by Matthew Baird, presented a restated Mission Statement for Episcopal High School. Capturing the essence of the current

Mission Statement in a shorter format, the revised Mission Statement will be posted in all of the classrooms in the 2019-2020 (see

related article on page 6).

Facilities: EHS athletes got back on track, literally, with the new eight-lane track completed during the 2018-2019 school year. In

addition, the Underwood Theatre received a significant upgrade with new seats, paint, carpeting, expanded wing space, backstage

dressing rooms, and restrooms. The grand re-opening was in March with the production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Alumni parents,

alumni, and friends were invited to join current families for the grand re-opening reception and performance. After an 18-month

absence, it was great to see EHS Knights back on campus in Underwood Theatre.

The schematic design phase for the new Visual and Performing Arts Complex is complete! The capital campaign committee is

seeking support for this transformative project which will add 65,000 in new and renovated facilities to support the Arts Pillars

at EHS.

Report on Philanthropy: This issue celebrates the generosity of so many loyal donors and friends who provide a full 10% of the

school’s operating budget, contribute important dollars for capital improvements and other needs of the school. There are many

other accomplishments to highlight: The Class of 2019 was admitted to 200 different colleges and universities and received over

$20 million in scholarships; we had a banner Admissions year allowing us to welcome 211 new students to EHS in August; our

athletes, artists, and writers garnered SPC championships and numerous accolades and awards - the list is exciting and extensive.

Next year will be my final year as Executive Chair of the Board of Trustees. As always, I look forward to working with the Executive

Committee, the Board of Trustees, and Head of School Ned Smith. Together we will continue to honor the Mission of Episcopal

High School.

Kind regards,

Randa Duncan Williams, Executive Chair of the Board of Trustees

EHS MISSION STRONGER THAN EVER

Re-Stated Mission Brings Out Key Qualities

A great school mission statement is like a mirror that reflects a school’s values, approach, and aspirations. As part of Episcopal High

School’s Strategic Plan published in September 2018, the Institutional Stability Committee of the EHS Board of Trustees was

tasked with reviewing and reworking EHS’s Mission Statement and Guiding Principles, which hadn’t been revised since the School’s

founding in 1983. All board members were invited to participate in the review, and the primary goal was to make the language clear

and concise, so that the mission could be posted throughout campus and recognized and valued by prospective and current students.

Head of School Ned Smith appointed board of trustee member Matthew K. Baird to lead the effort and Associate Head of School

Nancy Eisenberg as the administrative liaison. Smith wanted to ensure that all constituencies were involved in the process. Everyone

agreed that what was needed was a re-stating of the mission, not a substantial change.

“This mission has stood the test of time. The founding trustees and the newest trustees are all united by the same ideals,” says Baird.

“What we decided to do was whittle down the words and make the statement concise. We agreed to leave our egos at the door and

brainstorm several versions.”

Eisenberg says the group focused on five key elements: The Four Pillars, the Episcopal identity, inclusion, preparing for significant

lives, and elements of joy. “We’ve lived it now for 35 years. The core ideals of the mission are unwavering,” she says. The committee

determined they would state the school’s name at the start of the sentence, include the connection with the Episcopal Diocese of

Texas, use words and phrases such as inclusive and joyful, discover and develop through the Four Pillars— and finally, declare the

School’s aspirational outcome for all graduates— meaningful lives in service to others.

Baird and Eisenberg agree the challenge was finding language that reflected the original intent and was agreeable to all—and that flowed

well. They started with the original statement of 117 words and four sentences and edited that down to 42 words and one sentence.

“This mission truly reflects our approach to education: Students discover and develop talents through the Four Pillars, and that is

the pathway through which they develop meaningful lives in service to others,” Eisenberg explains.

Baird shares that one of the most rewarding moments of this project was when the veteran faculty—including many English teachers—

enthusiastically gave the thumbs up on the new wording last February. He and Eisenberg then presented the new statement to various

groups throughout the spring, including former trustees, the Alumni Directors Council, Student Council, the Dads Club Board, and

the Parents Association Board. “The process was shockingly refreshing,” admits Baird. “I was proud to play a role.

“I look at this as my modest contribution to the School,” he continues. “A small bit of writing, with hopefully a big impact. I can’t wait

to see the mission everywhere on campus—on banners, on walls—where prospective students, visitors, alumni, and current students

can see it. This is a living, breathing testimonial of who we are and what we are about.”

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Together, we have raised more than $47 million toward our Lead the Way goal

of $80 million. Now that the Hildebrand Athletic Center, Underwood Student

Center, and endowment portions of the are campaign fully funded, we turn to

the final phase: building a new Visual and Performing Arts Center, renovating

athletic fields, and expanding and upgrading Benitez Chapel. These are exciting

times for Episcopal High School. Please contact Director of Advancement

Peggy Haney at phaney@ehshouston.org to join our campaign to Lead the Way.

FROM THE

OFFICE OF

ADVANCEMENT

Dear EHS Community:

I love the movies, but I usually miss the blockbusters in the theater.

Often I catch up in the summer and on airplane flights. Just recently, I

finally saw “Won’t you be my neighbor?” The documentary of Mister

Fred Rogers took me back to my own childhood and the comfort of

his zip-up cardigans, Land of Make Believe, kind words, and life lessons

on compassion for others. It struck me that he was the first to inspire

#FindYourInnerGenius among children.

A favorite Mr. Roger’s song is “It’s You I Like”

Giving my son his diploma at

graduation this year was one

of the happiest days of my

life. I am so greatful to EHS

for all the school has given me

and my family. Go Knights!

It’s you I like,

It’s not the things you wear,

It’s not the way you do your hair

But it’s you I like

The way you are right now,

The way down deep inside you

Not the things that hide you,

Not your toys

They’re just beside you.

But it’s you I like

Every part of you.

Your skin, your eyes, your feelings

Whether old or new.

I hope that you’ll remember

Even when you’re feeling blue

That it’s you I like,

It’s you yourself

It’s you.

It’s you I like.

At Episcopal High School, we celebrate each student’s God-given

talents—the part of the individual that makes him or her stand out.

The 2018-2019 school year was again successful in all areas. Strong

enrollment, new facilities, academic success and awards, SPC

championships, arts awards and professional-quality productions, over

$20 million in college scholarships awarded to the Class of 2019, and

countless unseen victories and innovative discoveries in between—what

a year. This Report on Philanthropy celebrates the commitment EHS

makes to this mission and those that provide the financial resources to

allow us to do so. As donors to the annual giving campaign, the Lead the

Way capital campaign, the EHS scholarship fund or special programs,

and the Endowment, we thank you for allowing us to embrace our

students and help them stand out.

Sincerely,

Peggy Haney, Director of Advancement

CREATING THE MOSAIC

EHS Announces Director of Community and Inclusion

In May, Head of School Ned Smith announced that history teacher, junior grade level dean, and head boys varsity boys basketball

coach Wayne Jones joins the senior leadership as the Director of Community and Inclusion. A lifelong educator, Jones offers

a breadth of experience in schools and diverse communities, having taught and coached at The Kinkaid School, Strake Jesuit

College Preparatory, and for the past eight years at Episcopal High School.

What excites you about your new role as the first Director of

Community and Inclusion at Episcopal High School?

EHS is a strong and diverse community that I am proud to be a part of. I look forward to getting to better know the faculty,

students, parents, and alumni. We will celebrate the community and identify the challenges. I am excited to be an innovator in

this effort.

How did this effort get started?

The effort started with a group of faculty who began a conversation on inclusion a few years ago. Participating in that effort, I

heard about the National SEED Project. SEED is a peer-led professional program that creates conversational communities to

drive change toward greater equity and diversity. An immersive and intense 10 days of workshops, the experience transformed

me. I was able to examine my hidden biases and learn how to handle difficult conversations through thoughtful self-examination,

story-telling, and outwardly looking at the world. When I returned to EHS, I facilitated our first SEED group conversations

among faculty.

Is EHS ready for the hard conversations?

The students are ready. They live in the information age, and they are compassionate. I feel that our faculty and staff are willing

to work for the betterment of all EHS students. I am excited to start conversations with our alumni and parents.

EHS has always been a very diverse community—a great attribute. The School was founded on the principles of celebrating

students with a variety of gifts and abilities. EHS shows healthy diversity in faculty in terms of male and female members and

ethnicity. The School offers an incredible financial aid program to keep educational opportunities available to a wide swath of

students in the Houston area.

What are your goals for the first year, and what will be some of the initiatives?

My top three responsibilities will be to establish relationships, honor the things we have done well, and then advocate for

all, laying a foundation of openness. A few of our goals for the first year include starting a faculty book club that touches on

inclusiveness. Our first book is Blind Spots: Hidden Biases of Good People. We will continue our Black History Month program,

but also celebrate Hispanic Heritage and Women’s Month. We hope to take a strong group to the NAIS People of Color

Conference in Seattle this year. Finally, we are going to move the annual Culture Fest to the spring semester and amp it up.

What do you want to see five years down the road?

Five years down the road, I want to be the guy who has helped change the narrative and conversations at EHS. I’d like everyone

to feel comfortable to speak up, speak out, and respect others’ opinions throughout all our constituencies.

What can we learn from fellow independent schools with

successful programs in community and inclusion?

As a coach, I have always looked at other schools and observed how they create strong teams and win championships. In the

community and inclusion arena, there are schools in Washington, D.C., such as St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes, who have fantastic

programs. In Texas, I think St. Stephen’s in Austin and Greenhill in Dallas have set the bar high. All these veteran program

directors have been helpful to me in answering questions and sharing resources or ideas that succeeded at their schools.

Unlike coaching a basketball team, a community and inclusion program is not about winning—this is about understanding. It’s

an ongoing process. I want to take people from different backgrounds and perspectives together and create a school that is

purposeful and authentic in the ways that we respect all individuals on campus.

ALUMNI

Friends,

It is hard to believe that my tenure as president of the EHS Alumni Association Directors

Council has drawn to a close. The 2018-2019 school year has been a great year for the

EHS community. EHS continues its growth, nearing the completion of its planned

expansion to 800 students. This fall, the school completed the new Underwood Student

Center, which features a new cafeteria with seating for 500 as well as two innovation

labs. This spring, the school completed renovations of the theatre, with seating for more

than 940, and three backstage dressing rooms; student musical and dance performances

returned to campus. The next phase planned for EHS’s transformation is a state-ofthe-art

visual and performing arts complex near the convent and baseball fields. EHS

has always been committed to the Four Pillars, and the new developments on campus

– together with the many other facilities developed over the past decade – reflect a

continuation of the School’s commitment to provide excellent academic, spiritual, artistic,

and athletic programs to help each student fulfill his or her potential.

This year has also seen many exciting alumni events, many of which were hosted in the wonderful Alumni Center of the Hildebrand

Athletic Center. The Alumni Center has been, and will continue to be, the home base for a number of our alumni gatherings such as the

annual Homecoming Watch Party, Alumni Leadership Day, the Holiday Alumni & Faculty Luncheon, and our annual Alumni Weekend

Party. The facility also serves as a commitment by EHS to its ever-growing alumni community.

Thank you to all the alumni who gave their time and efforts to EHS this year and special thanks to those who joined the Silver Dollar

Society and helped make our #AlwaysEHS giving day a success. The ongoing financial support from our alumni continues to impact the

annual budget and helps to provide crucial dollars to support the EHS mission, its faculty, and its students.

My last request as president of the Directors Council is to ask the alumni to please stay connected with your EHS family! I encourage

each of you to find one event in 2019-2020 to attend on campus. Whether you want to bring your family to Homecoming, meet with

other professionals at Alumni Leadership Day, see a great teacher at the Holiday Luncheon, or spend time at a reunion with your fellow

alumni, there is a great event on campus that you will enjoy. If you live away and are not coming to Houston, consider reconnecting with

old classmates and teachers or simply log on to www.EHSHouston.org. You will be impressed by the developments at EHS and proud

that it is still strongly rooted in the Four Pillars!

Again, thank you to all our alumni who contributed their time, talent, and treasure this past year. EHS would not be the amazing place it

is without your support. I hope to see you around campus soon!

Go Knights!

The Silver Dollar Society

Named in honor of EHS founder, alumni parent, and alumni grandparent John Austin, this leadership giving society focuses on alumni

5-20 years out of high school. Since 1989, Mr. Austin has gifted every graduating senior with a silver dollar to remember their time at

EHS and to symbolize their first gift back to the School.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Silver Dollar donors; we are sincerely grateful for your support!

AUCTION 2019: DERBY KNIGHT

On Friday, February 22, 2019, we headed to Churchill Downs for Episcopal High School’s 35th Annual Auction Gala “Derby Knight.”

For the second year, the Auction was held in our spectacular Hildebrand Athletic Center on the EHS campus. Guests sipped mint

juleps while enjoying an elegant evening at the Derby. Beautiful red roses, Thoroughbred horses, and exquisite fascinators were the

tickets of the evening. “The Triple Crown” Sabrina Espinoza, Patricia Hammond, and Lyria O’Brien built their team to win! They

raised an outstanding 1.1 million for the School’s operating budget.

PARENTS

ASSOCIATION

The 2018-19 Parents Association continues to be one of the

most hands-on organizations on campus. Under the leadership of

President Leah Ragiel, the moms were on campus from the start

of school until the last game/performance. They can be seen on

campus volunteering for the vast number of parent committees or

watching our students perform on the field, classroom, chapel, or

stage. They donated their talent, time, and treasure throughout the

2018-19 School Year.

A Knight of Mystery and

Masks - Auction 2020:

Blue Knight Masquerade

Mark your calendars for Friday February 21, 2020 as

we head into a night of mystery and masks for Episcopal

High School’s 36th Annual Gala Auction “Blue Knight

Masquerade.” For the third year, the Auction will be

held in our spectacular Hildebrand Athletic Center on

the EHS campus. Guests will enjoy cocktails and an

elegant evening of mystique. Envision blue gowns and

mysterious masks. The goal of the Auction is simple:

to raise necessary revenue for the school’s operating

budget. Last spring, Auction Chairs Elizabeth and Will

Galtney, Daryl and Aaron Hoover, and Carol and Gregg

Thompson began building their team, getting ready for a

night of classic elegance.

Their work started in the summer of 2018 by welcoming and onboarding

the Class of 2022 and Transfer Parents, helping them

navigate their first year at a new school. They began the school

year with the annual Parent Volunteer Rally, ending the year with

Graduation. In between those events, Episcopal moms signed up

to volunteer for an array of committees designed to benefit the

students, faculty, staff, and the overall Episcopal High School

Community. They never said no when called upon and always gave us

that wonderful EHS smile.

The Parents Association always helps out financially by supporting

Family Directory, Knight Vision Glasses, Field Knight, Senior

Welcome Breakfast, Auction, Grounds, Pillar Support, Faculty/

Staff Appreciation, Volunteer Appreciation, and many other school

community activities.

EHS moms continue to provide the encouragement, support, and

countless hours of assistance making the 2018-2019 school year

such a success.

DADS CLUB

The EHS Dads Club continued their support for the entire EHS Community under the

leadership of President Craig Bunk. The Dads Club main focus is to provide opportunities for

our dads to engage on the EHS campus. This initiative begins before the first day of school as

we enlist the new freshman dads to help with the grilling and concessions at all home varsity

football scrimmages/games. The 8th annual Sporting Clays and Washer Tournament is a

free event and open to all EHS dads. This past year we had a great turnout and fun was had

by all. The Dads Club Breakfasts were well supported (five held throughout the school year)

with the final event, 26th Annual Dads Club Golf Tournament, where we saw another record

number of golfers/volunteers. The Golf Tournament venue moved to Wildcat and it made

for an easier and friendly location for our golfers. The Dads Club remains committed to our

Four Pillars, students, faculty, staff, and the entire Episcopal High School Community. The

organization is always “on call” and continues assist and help when needed.

The Dads Club underwrites student/faculty/staff activities and appreciation, Class of 2022

t-shirt, “Got Blue” spirit shirts, Field Knight, SOS - Race for the Cure, Pink Ribbon Knight,

Spirit Club, Opening Night dinners for all theater and dance productions, Faculty/Staff

Christmas gifts, Family Directory, College Counseling college rep hospitality, EHS Gong

Squad, Challenger events, Student events, and providing underwriting support when there

is a need on campus. They end the year with the Leaving Tree Luncheon, celebrating the

graduating class.

This past year, the Dads Club funded the following items – Football Sled, Titan GPS Sensor

Vests, Cross Country/Track Tent, and Swimming Starting Blocks. The Dads Club Board

approved almost $60,000 in funding during the 2018-19 school year. The 2018-19 Dads

Club participated in the Lead the Way Campaign with a $250,000 pledge to construct

and name the new Dean John Colello Football Press Box. To date the Dads Club has given

almost $2,000,000 to the EHS Community.

ENDOWMENT

UPDATE

Episcopal High School continues to be committed to endowment growth. The EHS

Endowment Board provides careful oversight for these important resources. Assets

are sagely invested through a diversified asset portfolio. The Board met quarterly with

a focus on the long-term sustainability of the Mission of Episcopal High School. In

addition, as part of ongoing due diligence, the Endowment’s by-laws were revised this

year.

As of June 30, 2019, the EHS Endowment Fund balance was $38.1 million. In addition,

the Endowment Fund has future pledges valued at $4.7 million to make the total assets

of the Endowment worth $42.8 million. The Endowment contributed $966,000 to the

School’s annual operating budget of $26,966,000. We are pleased that the Endowment

could still make a significant contribution to the daily operating needs of the school.

By the end of our fiscal year, the Endowment received $874,425 in gifts and pledge

payments.

Ongoing Endowment growth continues to be a strategic goal for the School. A primary

vehicle for this growth will be an increased focus on securing planned gifts, using

philanthropic strategies such as bequest beneficiaries, and more. Episcopal High School’s

Endowment Fund welcomes contributions and pledges of any amount. The Endowment

is a perfect way to preserve a donor’s charitable intent for generations to come. Peggy

Haney, Director of Advancement, phaney@ehshouston.org, would be happy to discuss

endowment giving opportunities in more detail.

IN MEMORIAM

Kelly Cottingham ’87

The Episcopal High School family mourns the loss of Kelly Cottingham,

Class of 1987. During his years at EHS, Kelly was a part of the Drum Corps,

International Thespian Society, and played basketball. He was also a member

of the first graduating class of Episcopal. Beyond the doors of EHS, he

continued his education in Austin at the University of Texas, where he earned

a B.B.A. degree. He was an entrepreneur and private investor in several

successful startups and spent time learning the art of commodities trading.

Daniel Parker ’95

Sadly, Daniel Parker, Class of 1995, passed away in March. During his years

at EHS, he ran cross country, was a member of National Honor Society and

the International Thespian Society. He received many awards including the

Excellence in Study of History, Hugh O’Brien Youth Foundation Award from

Rice University, and was on the Texaco Star Academic Challenge Team. He

will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Daniel Rosen ’08

With great sadness, EHS mourns the passing of Daniel Rosen, Class of 2008.

Daniel was an amazing person with a smile that would light up his whole face.

He was always ready to make you laugh with his quick wit and gave the world’s

best hug. After attending EHS, Daniel graduated from the University of

Alabama. Daniel loved Alabama football and celebrated with each National

Championship. He also loved fishing and boating, the beach, studying the

Talmud, cooking, debating politics, and being with his friends and family.

Emilie Scott Wallace ’04

We are extremely saddened by the loss of Emilie Scott Wallace, Class of

2004. While attending EHS, Emilie was active in Fellowship of Christian

Athletes and Students of Service and also a member of the soccer, lacrosse

and cross-country teams. After EHS, she attended Louisiana State University

where she was an early childhood education major and met her husband,

David Wallace. Together they had three children, Mary Amelia Wallace (Mae

Mae), David Richard Wallace III (Davy) and Eloise Claire Wallace (Ouisie). In

her short life she touched countless lives for good with her unbridled passion

and authentic joy.
