ALUMNI LEADERSHIP DAY In November, more than 40 Alumni participated in the annual Alumni Leadership Day. They met with EHS seniors and shared stories about decisions that impacted their career paths and described daily life in their professions. This two-day event began with Alumni Leadership Day Chapel on Monday, November 15 where Moody Heard ’12 spoke to students about his journey from EHS to co-founding his company, BuildForce. Leila-Scott Price ’93 was our keynote speaker for the opening session on Tuesday. Price shared successful tips and advice for seniors as they take their next steps after EHS. After the success of last year’s virtual panels, this year’s Alumni Leadership Day was a hybrid model, giving out-of-town Alumni a chance to participate. Panels included diverse fields and professions ranging from a Broadway and television actor, a veterinarian, a U.S. Naval Commander, and investment bankers, to name a few. Alumni emphasized the value of classes and participation in all Four Pillars while at EHS. Another common theme was the importance of networking. Alumni recommended students join the EHS networking platform after graduation. Panelists encouraged seniors to make connections, grow from their mistakes, and never stop learning. —Ashley Long
