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.
