FROM THE

HEAD OF SCHOOL

Little did we know when we sent our first email about COVID-19 that it would

dominate our lives as it has for the last nine months. That email followed our interim

term China trip last January. From there, we were off and running through the

strangest of springs towards the successful, if unique, start to the 2020-2021 year

this August in which we welcomed our largest student body ever. At 790 students

strong, EHS today continues to thrive.

Our diverse and talented student body is split evenly between boys and girls;

27 percent of our students self-report as students of color; 18 percent are

Episcopalian. Our 223 new students, 208 freshmen and 15 new sophomores and

juniors, hail from 48 different zip codes and represent 55 different feeder schools.

We continue to offer the strongest financial aid program in town, distributing nearly

$3.5 million in financial aid and tuition remission across 15 percent of the student

body for 2020-2021. It is the largest financial aid program in the city by any

measure: per capita, as a percentage of endowment, or as a percentage of tuition

revenue. Best of all, our class sizes remain small: This year’s average class size is 14

students, which allows for highly personalized and effective teaching and learning.

Last March we mounted the fastest transition to virtual learning in Houston when

campuses around the city closed, and we received national recognition throughout

the spring for the quality of that virtual program as well as for the speed of its

implementation. We began this new year with distance learning, but we were

among the first SPC schools to return students to campus successfully after

Labor Day. We welcomed seniors on September 8 and then added one grade per

day from there beginning with the freshmen. By Friday the 11th, we were at full

strength, and through today EHS remains an island of stability for our community

in a sea of uncertainty.

That stability has, since the School’s founding, been ensured by our Board

of Trustees, and for the last three years, the Board of Trustees has been led

by Executive Chair Randa Duncan Williams. Randa’s clear vision for EHS and her enthusiastic commitment to its mission have seen the

successful conclusion of several construction projects, most notably the Underwood Student Center (USC) and the baseball field, as well

as the start of a third project, our new field hockey field. Randa likewise oversaw the revision of the School’s Mission Statement and Guiding

Principles, a once-in-a-generation undertaking reaffirming our Episcopal identity and charting a clear course for the future. Having served

the maximum term allowed under our bylaws and set that course, Randa relinquishes the reins this year to our new Executive Chair Haag

Sherman’s capable hands.

The start of the new school year marks another notable board leadership transition. The School’s endowment has, since its inception, been led

by one man, Vic Kormeier. In the early years, every dollar donated to the school or the school’s endowment went to operating expenses. In

1998, EHS paid off its mortgage and began to tend to its endowment in earnest. Today the School continues debt free with the endowment

valued at $38.5 million; the draw on that endowment provides meaningful financial support to the school’s annual operating budget of over

$28.8 million. None of this success would have been possible without Vic’s clear vision and capable, inspired leadership. Vic’s commitment to

EHS is unparalleled, and we are thrilled that he will continue to serve on the endowment even as he relinquishes the mantle of leadership to

Randa Duncan Williams, a transition from strength to strength.

Episcopal High School stands out in this otherwise topsy-turvy time because we receive such strong support from leaders like Randa and Vic,

as well as from our current and past friends and families, people like those of you listed within. Your generosity allows us to remain focused on

what we can control: living our mission every day, on and off campus. Whether you participated as a volunteer in one of our many Advancement

efforts or as a donor to the annual fund, the Auction gala, or the Lead the Way capital campaign, your support is crucial. Without it, we would

not be able to live the mission, regardless of circumstances, as fully or effectively as we do every day. Thank you for it, and Go Knights,

Ned Smith, Head of School

FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

Episcopal High School, founded and guided by the Diocese of Texas, is an inclusive and joyful Christian

community where students discover and develop their individual talents through the Four Pillars – academics,

arts, athletics, religion – preparing for meaningful lives in service to others. –EHS Mission Statement

Working on the committee to restate the school’s Mission was a highlight of my three-year term as Executive

Chair of the EHS Board of Trustees. I enjoyed the meaningful discussions exploring the vision of our founders,

the inclusive values of the EHS community, and the enduring purpose of the Four Pillars. One of our overriding

goals was to distill the essence of the EHS experience. After many hours of wordsmithing and word sleuthing,

we determined the proper word to describe EHS was “ joyful.”

It is with that focus on “ joyful” that I write this article. At the start of the school year, Bishop Andy Doyle shared

“…we look forward to a year of dedicated effort, challenges faced and conquered, and life embraced and lived to

the fullest.” By the grace of God and the incredible dedication of the EHS faculty and staff, I am happy report

to the Bishop and the entire EHS community; that we have lived up to this call and more. While the coronavirus

was an unforgettable part of the 2019-2020 school year, it was just that… one part. There is much to celebrate.

The Board of Trustees has three primary responsibilities: to set strategic goals for the school, to hire and supervise the Head of School, and to

ensure the school’s financial stability. Divided into standing committees, the 26-member Board works tirelessly throughout the year for the

benefit of Episcopal High School. I am most grateful for the work of my fellow Trustees.

Capital Improvements: After successful fundraising efforts, the Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new baseball field, a new

water-based turf field hockey field, and a putting green. These are the first improvements on the south campus athletic facilities along Bissonnet.

The south fields are heavily used year-round and are poorly drained; this combination necessitated these improvements. The next steps will be to

continue to raise funds for a new turf softball field, new scoreboards for baseball, softball, and field hockey, and the addition or improvement of

stands and lights for these fields.

These field improvements are part of the larger campus master plan, which successfully led to the construction of our greatly enjoyed Hildebrand

Athletic Center and Underwood Student Center. In addition to the outdoor athletics facilities improvements, the plan calls for construction of

a new Visual and Performing Arts Complex and a new Benitez Chapel. The Board is committed to completing the master plan and is actively

focusing its fundraising efforts. The Board has committed funds for the design-development phase of the Visual and Performing Arts Complex

plans, the construction of which is our next priority.

Financial Stability: The Report of Philanthropy celebrates the many individuals, foundations, and corporations who voluntarily donate their

resources to support Episcopal High School. Through the strong efforts of the Board, partnered with the advancement and business officers of the

school, the Endowment Board, and a healthy admissions season, the school’s operating needs were met, and EHS is on strong financial footing as

we weather what looks globally to be stormy financial markets ahead.

Joyful Community: At every Board of Trustees meeting, Ned Smith gives a Head of School report. These reports often contain inspiring and

innovative work from the classrooms. It makes me wish I were a student at EHS when I read about the creativity of Level 4 Chinese students

designing their dream home with Feng Shui concepts and their vocabulary lessons. Or, the National English Honors Society collaborative poem

exercise in which each advisory invented individual poetic lines, to then be grouped together in the most surprising, arresting way possible. And,

Honors Biology students writing science curriculum for 4th grade science classrooms using StopMotion and VideoScribe. From art classes to

physical education, guest speakers, including celebrated alumni and renowned professionals, joined via video to enrich the lessons of the day. I

am also inspired by the continued focus on service to others, exemplified daily by EHS students. Just one example, in April, EHS launched an allschool

service project, including the delivery of 50 boxes of food to Small Steps Nurturing Center for distribution to Houston families in need due

to the COVID-19 crisis and layoffs.

Class of 2020: To the Class of 2020, it was an honor to celebrate your in-person graduation on June 6. On the Simmons Field, we gathered with

joyful hearts to celebrate you. It was great to be together as a community, even if we had to be six feet apart. Your accomplishments across the

Four Pillars are impressive; your college acceptances are outstanding; you are Knight Strong!

In conclusion, I am honored to serve as the Executive Chair of the Board of Trustees. I want to thank again the individuals who serve with me on

the Board. Thank you to Bishop Andy Doyle whose vision and sense of purpose are guideposts for me. Thank you to Ned Smith, Head of School,

for his partnership with the Board and his daily leadership of EHS. Thank you to all the senior administrators, but especially Peggy Haney, Evelyn

Cambria, and Nancy Eisenberg who make things look easy. Lastly, thank you to Haag Sherman, to whom I pass my gavel, as the Executive Chair.

Go Knights!

Kind regards,

Randa Duncan Williams, Executive Chair of the Board of Trustees

FROM THE

OFFICE OF

ADVANCEMENT

2 John 1:12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink.

Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may

be complete.

This scripture verse seems to take on even more meaning after many

months of quarantine, Zoom calls, Teams meetings, and social distancing.

The essence of Episcopal High School is our joyful community, and we like

to be together!

Despite the challenges, the 2019-2020 school year’s Advancement

program brought much to celebrate. Parent volunteers grilled quail, sold

concessions, treated students with snow cones, decorated for events,

delivered birthday treats for teachers, and so much more.

All fundraising efforts at EHS are successful because of volunteers as well.

Alumni, parents, grandparents, and Trustees serving on the annual fund,

gala, and capital campaign committees raised essential funds for the school.

In the pages to follow, we will recognize the volunteers and contributors for

this 2019-2020 school year. While traditional spring events were canceled

and we were not able to thank you in person, please accept our most

sincere gratitude.

Despite the challenges, the 2019-2020

school year’s Advancement program

brought much to celebrate.

The generosity of the EHS community is unparalleled. When we next

return to campus, families will see a new baseball diamond completed and

an elite-level field hockey field under construction. The campus master

plan campaign, Lead the Way, continues to seek gifts for Phase Two of our

campus completion: a new Visual and Performing Arts Complex and then

a new Benitez Chapel. Our Phase One buildings, the Hildebrand Athletic

Center and Underwood Student Center, have been incredible additions to

our campus, and we look forward to completing the campus master plan

through our ongoing capital fundraising efforts.

There are many other success stories to celebrate for the 2019-2020

school year. Our Admissions Office had an incredibly strong year with a

healthy increase in interest and applications in the school. The message

that EHS students “stand out” among the rest is resonating with the

greater Houston community. A strong enrollment and record-low attrition

mark a successful school.

Superb communications efforts for EHS also continued this school year.

With a meteoric rise in social media followers, EHS is a leader among peer

schools for the quality of content. Pillars magazine is an award-winning

publication, beating out universities and large hospital systems in regional

competitions. The communications team has remained on call seven days

a week during campus closures, working tirelessly to keep our community

informed and celebrated.

As I write this from my home office in July, I truly do miss my colleagues,

friends, and students of EHS. When the campus bustles with activity, there

is inescapable joy and boundless energy that radiate broadly and permeate

my spirit. I will carry this positivity with me until I can “visit you and talk with

you face-to-face, so that our joy may be complete.”

Sincerely,

Peggy Haney, Director of Advancement

OUR FISCAL YEAR

Episcopal High School operates debt‐free and is an excellent steward of

every tuition and donated dollar. Philanthropy through Annual Giving and

the Endowment covers over 13 percent of the School’s annual operating

expenses. Exceeding regional standards, Episcopal High School allocates

at least 10 percent of our operating budget to financial aid. Lastly, as a

strategic goal to attract and retain the best faculty and staff throughout the

Four Pillars of academics, arts, athletics, and religion, compensation is the

largest expense item in our budget.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Reimagine the future filled with confident and solution-focused thinkers. That is what we dream about every day at EHS

as we educate the leaders of tomorrow. Supporting our dream is the Lead the Way Capital Campaign to complete the

EHS Campus Master Plan. To date, we have built the new Hildebrand Athletic Center, a new Underwood Student Center,

a new baseball field, a new field hockey field, and a new putting green. In addition, there was a significant increase to the

Endowment Fund. To complete the Master Plan, we will build a new Visual and Performing Arts Complex, a new Benitez

Chapel, complete the Bissonnet Athletic Complex with a softball field, and improve the outdoor athletic facilities on the

Fournace-side of campus. Thank you to all of the generous donors to date.

ALUMNI

Dear EHS Community,

With all the craziness surrounding the end of the 2019-2020 school year, it is hard to believe

that my tenure as the President of the EHS Alumni Association Directors Council is coming

to a close. We started the year off strong with so many new alumni eager to get involved in

the Directors Council and it has been incredibly rewarding to be a part of it.

The Directors Council hosted and helped to plan a number of successful and exciting alumni

events this year. From Homecoming to Alumni Leadership Day to the annual Holiday

Luncheon, alumni from all over the country have stopped by campus to visit with beloved

faculty, walk the campus, and visit the Leaving Trees. I want to say thank you to each of you!

The faculty love seeing you and hearing about each of your next steps past high school.

In addition to your participation, or your commitment to participate in the events that were

canceled due to COVID-19, I want to thank those alumni who were able to contribute to the

2019-2020 Annual Fund. Although our spring alumni giving day was canceled, I hope you

will financially support EHS in this school year. These collective dollars, of all gift sizes, impact

the year in which they are given. And as we have all seen this year, EHS pivoted in a moment’s

notice to prepare for virtual learning and even captured the attention of the national news:

www.EHSHouston.org/GoodNews20

Though most of the EHS students are accustomed to the new facilities, I loved attending the meetings with the alumni who had not

yet stepped foot in places like the new Hildebrand Athletic Center or the new Underwood Student Center. But most importantly,

regardless of new buildings, the same EHS spirit that we all know and love is still present on campus—the spirit that makes EHS a special

place for current students and even alumni that graduated 10-plus years ago.

Thank you again for all that the EHS Alumni community has done this year and especially to those who are currently working on the

front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. I am so proud to be a part of this community and to have served this past year. I am looking

forward for many more exciting years to come. Please know your participation in alumni efforts is always welcomed and I encourage you

to reach out to the alumni office; they would welcome a call or email from you. Alumni commitment at EHS is stronger than ever, and it

excites me to think about what the next several years will bring in terms of alumni involvement from those both near and far.

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

AUCTION 2020:

BLUE KNIGHT MASQUERADE

On Friday February 21, 2020, we headed into a night of mystery and celebration for our Episcopal High School’s 36th Annual

Auction Gala, “Blue Knight Masquerade.” For the third year, the Auction was held in our spectacular Hildebrand Athletic Center on

the EHS campus. Guests sipped cocktails and enjoyed the evening while mingling in blue gowns and bejeweled masks. Auction chairs

Elizabeth and Will Galtney, Daryl and Aaron Hoover, and Carol and Gregg Thompson built a strong team that led us to a night filled

with elegance. They raised an outstanding $1.4 million for the School’s operating budget.

PARENTS

ASSOCIATION

The Parents Association did a wonderful job during a very

stressful 2019-20 school year. Guided by our President Carolyn

Betti, our moms began their planning in early May as they

prepared for the fall semester. In early summer, the Mentor

Moms welcomed and helped the incoming freshmen and

transfers acclimate to the EHS Community.

The onboarding continued with the annual Volunteer Rally,

welcoming our new parents and promoting involvement through

committee sign-up. The Parents Association’s 28 committees

continued their work throughout the year, and their nonstop

commitment to the students, faculty, and staff was on full display.

Our moms are on campus every day volunteering and providing

help where it is needed. Their smiles and “can do” attitude

advance the family atmosphere on the EHS campus.

Auction 2021:

Light Up the Knight

Friday February 19, 2021

The Parents Association also helps out the school with financial

support for the 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.

The Parents Association excitement and enthusiasm provides a

wonderful environment for all of EHS.

Mark your calendars for Friday February 19, 2021, as we

“Light Up the Knight” for Episcopal High School’s 37th

Annual Auction Gala! Join us as we honor all of the ways

that EHS empowers our Knights to #FindInnerGenius.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening of community,

fellowship, and fun. Auction Chairs Caren McKinnie and

Michelle Juden began building their team last spring, and

they look forward to shining a light on Episcopal High

School—the Knights!

DADS CLUB

Jay Rippeto, EHS Dads Club President, continued the Dads Club tradition to invite,

engage, and provide opportunities for our dads to get involved in the EHS community. As

the year began, our dads started grilling for Field Knight and all home football games. The

dads are also in both concession areas lending a helping hand. Our dads are welcomed on

campus for an array of school events, meetings, breakfasts, and special events. The Dads

Club provides morning breakfasts (5 throughout the year) allowing our dads to hear about

the Four Pillars, College Counseling, and see firsthand our talented learners through

student presentations. Our two main events, Sporting Clays and Golf Tournament were

not held this year. Weather and Covid-19 caused both events to be canceled. However,

our dads did not skip a beat, their pledge to help wherever needed was evident throughout

the year.

The Dads Club has a financial stake in the EHS Community, providing funding for all

Four Pillars, student/faculty/staff activities and appreciation, Class of 2024 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, and Student events. The Dads Club also provides lunch for the annual

Senior Leaving Tree event. From start to finish, this organization provides its support for

the entire Episcopal Community.

This past year, the Dads Club funded the following requested items – HUDL Camera

System, Carbon Volleyball Net System, Lacrosse Goals/Netting, and DiamondBoxx

Sound System. The Dads Club Board approved almost $70,000 in funding during the

2019-2020 school year.

The 2019-2020 Dads Club for the second time, participated in the Lead the Way

Campaign with a $15,000 pledge toward the new Field Hockey Turf Field. Since 1994,

the Dads Club has given almost $2,100,000 back to the EHS Community.

ENDOWMENT

UPDATE

The EHS Endowment Board provides careful oversight for these important resources.

Assets are sage 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

Despite market volatility, the value of the Endowment held stable. As of June

30, 2020, the EHS Endowment Fund balance was $38.5 million. In addition, the

Endowment Fund has future pledges to make the total assets of the Endowment

worth $43.5 million. The Endowment contributed $1,071,000 to the School’s annual

operating budget of $28,883,000. We are pleased that the Endowment could make

a significant contribution to the daily operating needs of the school.

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.

Derek Creacy ’17

With great sadness, EHS mourns the loss of Derek Creacy ’17. During his time

at EHS, Derek was a 4-year Cross Country and Track & Field member. He was

incredibly talented and hard-working. In addition, he was an accomplished musician and

participated in the Orchestra, Jazz Band, and the Chapel Music Group. Derek, along

with a few fellow cross-country musicians, would even perform at International Fest and

EHS Coffee House. His teachers, coaches and teammates could always count on Derek

to make them laugh, especially when traveling to sports meets. Derek is missed very

much by all who knew him.

marketing and graphic design. Beyond the doors of her office, Karen was an avid painter,

a certified ESL teacher, a volunteer at the Clarity Center and a beloved daughter, sister,

aunt, and friend to all who knew her.
