A Message from the On a perfect morning in early June, I had the honor and pleasure of presenting an Episcopal diploma to each of the 109 remarkable members of the Class of 2017. These amazing young people, who have ventured out to 70 different institutions of higher learning in 27 states and Great Britain, were invaluable assets to me in my first year. They are young women and men of tremendous character and great potential. Their concern for this community, their passions for all areas of school life, and their impressive work ethic set an outstanding leadership example for all to follow. The growth and development of these seniors, however, did not happen by accident. In my first year I also quickly appreciated what a fabulous group of faculty and staff the School has attracted over the years. I am grateful for the hard work of Rob Hershey and his team, and Sandy Ainslie ’56 before him, in setting the stage for all that we have accomplished this year. The

A Message from the
Director of Institutional Advancement It strikes me that it would be more accurate for the above title to read “In Gratitude.” Once again, the remarkable generosity of our alumni, parents, and friends has enabled Episcopal to deliver an extraordinary year – a year full of memorable experiences that make our students’ educational journeys rich and empowering. Witnessing the events – big and small – that string together to make a year at EHS is an extraordinary thing. The stirring chapel talk that lingers on in our hearts and minds, the perfectly placed goal kick that puts a win in sight, the inspiring citations read as students are inducted into the Cum Laude Society, the coffee hours, the inflatable games, the laughter in the Breeden Black Box Theater, the voices from the choir that bring tears to our eyes, an entire school community swept up in the excitement and tradition of inducting a new Head of School, and the faces of our graduating seniors as they grasp their diplomas and look ahead to life beyond the gate – the list is endless, and it is your generosity that makes it possible. The Roll Call, our annual fund, was an amazing success this year, providing 10.4 percent of the School’s operating revenue, or $3.28 million. An incredible 49
percent of our alumni and 85 percent of current parents contributed, as did 100 percent of the members of the Class of 2017! Dedicated alumni and parents led Reunion efforts, hosted events, made calls on the School’s behalf, and made our first ever Giving Day on June 1 a stunning success. We could not have achieved the ambitious goals we set forth were it not for these contributions, and we could not be more grateful. As our global community of alumni and parents feels stronger than ever, it is exciting to consider what impactful and innovative priorities we will be able to support as the Board of Trustees works to envision and plan for the School’s future. On behalf of all of us at The High School who endeavor to deliver the extraordinary and to build an exciting future on the foundations of an extraordinary past, I thank you for your dedication and commitment. I am honored to share your devotion to Episcopal and look forward to our continued work together.

A Message from the
Treasurer The 2016-17 school year was noteworthy in many ways. Charley and Sallie Stillwell completed their first year. Bailey Patrick ’79, Chair of our Board of Trustees, completed his term of service after overseeing significant changes to the campus over the past six years. However, in many ways, it was a normal school year. There is a regular column in The Chronicle, our student-run newspaper, which charts what is in and what is out. It can be driven by the seasons, athletics, fashion, music, or something unique to Episcopal. The last column of the year declared that the Episcopal Bubble was out and the Real World was in. Studying in the library was out and lounging in the sun was in. And finally, the Class of 2017 was out and the Class of 2018 was in. Some things change. Some things stay the same. But we are never standing still. Having completed the adaptive reuse of Stewart Gym into the Student Center in Stewart Gym, which has been everything we had hoped for, we are about to start construction on two new faculty houses. We expect them to be ready for occupancy by late spring 2018. We are also planning for six additional faculty houses that will be built over the next several years. These new houses will allow us to provide housing for almost 100 percent of our faculty. Once again, our Advancement Office has knocked the ball out of the park. Our annual giving set another
record, exceeding their goal by $90,091 or 2.8 percent for a total of $3.28 million. Our annual fund, the Roll Call, is responsible for over 10 percent of our annual budget revenue. The generosity of our community, families, parents, alumni, and friends provides the extra resources that allow us to distinguish ourselves. We continue to be in sound financial shape. We ended the 2016-17 school year with a $7,000 surplus. Our liquidity is very strong. We hired Monticello Associates to manage our endowment, and it continues to be a priority for the Board. Their first task was to assist us in restructuring and reallocating a significant portion of our endowment. This task has been completed, and we are positioned well to provide the resources we need for the future. Again, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone in the EHS community who has contributed their valuable time and resources to make Episcopal the special place it is.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
The Honor Code
The student and faculty profiles woven through this report (pages 8, 12, 20, and 26) highlight just a few of the defining aspects of the Episcopal experience that would not be possible without your support. Thank you.
For generations, Episcopal’s Honor Code has guided its students to live with integrity, trust, and respect. From the pledge that new students take within their first few days on campus — “I will not lie. I will not cheat. I will not steal. I will report the student who does.” — to the ways in which honor is regularly explored through the Leadership and Ethics Program, the Honor Code is a way of life at The High School. “From my first time visiting Episcopal, it was clear to me that the Honor Code is valued by the students,” says Guy Thomas ’17, Chair of the Honor Committee during the 2016-17 school year. “That’s really special, and I wanted to be a part of it. I think that honor and integrity are among the highest qualities a person can have. I wanted to help to instill those qualities in younger students.” Together, Guy, Tim Rogers ’79 (English teacher and faculty advisor to the Honor Committee) and the

Committee’s other nine student and faculty members, share the immense responsibility and privilege that comes with modeling the Honor Code day in and day out, grappling with questions around potential honor code violations, and making recommendations that impact students’ lives in far-reaching ways. The different perspectives that Tim and Guy bring to their roles, along with their willingness to learn from each other, ensure that each potential Honor Code violation is given serious consideration. Nothing is taken for granted or glossed over. “Mr. Rogers has taught me to be patient, not to take any shortcuts, and to make sure that we have established a good understanding of what’s going on before we take the next step,” Guy says. “There have been times when I’ve rushed to decision-making without fully thinking it through, and Mr. Rogers, luckily, has been there to say, ‘You know what, let’s think this

“When someone asks me, ‘How can we expect 17- and 18-year-olds to make a decision about my child?’ I tell them that, collectively, the Committee is very strong. Stronger than any one individual would be,” Tim says. “Being a good listener is really important, and Guy and I have both learned that.” Of Guy, Tim adds, “He is driven very strongly by conviction. He is marked by a real seriousness of purpose, and when you give him a job, he’s going to take it seriously. In this job, he’s learned that there are benefits to being flexible and looking at a situation and determining what is going to be the best course of action.” “There have been experiences that have humbled me. I’ve made mistakes and learned from others’ advice,” Guy adds. “Serving as Honor Committee Chair has definitely been my most rewarding Episcopal experience.”

The Episcopal faculty has always been the heart and soul of this community. Thanks to an extraordinary faculty, the School can confidently pursue its mission of preparing students to “become discerning individuals with the intellectual and moral courage to lead principled lives of leadership and service to others.” It takes substantial resources to support a talented faculty and to attract and secure the most qualified candidates in an increasingly competitive boarding school market. The most effective way to preserve Episcopal’s defining traditions of exceptional faculty and extraordinary student-faculty connections is to grow the endowment.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Faculty Supporting Students Vincent Hodge ’89, assistant director of admissions and director of financial aid, first met Erin Zhang ’17 on a visit to meet with prospective students in Beijing, China. Erin had made the 1,100-mile journey to Beijing from her hometown of Wuhan, and the visit left a lasting impression on both. “Other schools asked me a few questions and then said goodbye, but I remember that Mr. Hodge and I had a really long conversation. Not only did he answer all my questions about the School, but he really took the time to get to know me,” says Erin. “I felt very connected from the start.” “I’ll never forget that meeting,” adds Vincent. “I remember how genuine Erin was about it all. You could tell from that very first conversation and from her application that she understood how a place like Episcopal could take her from ecology class to the Environmental Protection Agency, and from art class to the National Gallery of Art.”
Once Erin enrolled at Episcopal, Vincent could have considered his work done. However, he continued to play an important and regular role in Erin’s four years at The High School, as he strives to do with all of the international students that he helps bring to Episcopal. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet with a number of prospective students and families over the years and to build upon those initial relationships throughout the students’ time at the School, and in many instances, after their graduations,” he says. From arranging for Erin to receive emergency dental care despite lack of dental insurance coverage in the U.S., to helping her to organize her college visits, Vincent has been there for Erin through occassions both big and small. For Vincent, it’s been a joy to watch Erin grow and contribute to the community over the course of her time at Episcopal.

“For someone who is so accustomed to high levels of achievement and to being independent and doing things on one’s own, it can be difficult to ask for help. Erin has learned that you can keep your hands on the main controls, but sometimes it’s nice to have a navigator pilot. She understands that there are so many people here who want to help,” he says.
“At Episcopal, I became more aware of my surroundings: of the people around me, like my friends, parents, and teachers. Sometimes people become too absorbed in their own work and become self-centered. I feel that I’m quite lucky that I’m not completely like that, and that I have the ability to worry about other people and to help other people. I’m very grateful.”
“She is enthusiastic, intelligent, reliable, and persistent. She’s compassionate, and while exceptionally bright, she is very humble and acknowledges and respects the contributions of others. This may be her greatest attribute.” Erin, who will study computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, says, “I often think about what I would have become had I stayed in China for high school, and it’s not just about the college matriculation stuff. It’s about growing as a person.

Roll Call
Forty-nine percent of alumni participated in the Roll Call in 2016-17 — that’s an increase of two points over the prior year. Gifts from alumni inspire others to join in support of the School. Never was this more evident than during the School’s first giving day challenge, The EHS Finals Countdown. Episcopal enjoyed enthusiastic support from alumni on that day and all year long.

COUNTDOWN
Episcopal’s First-Ever Day of Giving
1
On June 1, the Episcopal community joined together to take on its first-ever one-day giving challenge: the EHS Finals Countdown. With a generous $100,000 challenge gift on the line thanks to an anonymous group of alumni and parents, we asked our community to help us collect 440 Roll Call gifts in a single day – one gift for every current student. We never anticipated the outpouring of support we received; our 440-donor goal was met by lunchtime, inspiring a second anonymous $50,000 challenge gift. By the end of the day, EHS alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, friends, and every single member of the Class of 2017 had banded together to make 871 gifts totaling $346,807. Beyond the enormous practical impact of the money raised on June 1, this day of giving reminded us all how powerful the EHS community is. Across years and miles, you support each other, and you support the students. For that, we are truly grateful.

The Randolph Fairfax Society, which honors those who give $5,000 or more to the annual Roll Call, grew to 188 donors. These leadership donors combined to give 68 percent of the total Roll Call, providing The High School with critical resources for the students and teachers. Donors who increase their financial commitment to EHS – whether an alumnus marking their reunion year, a senior parent celebrating a student’s graduation, or a friend of the School with more to give in a particular year — help us build a sustainable program in fulfillment of Episcopal’s mission.

65th Reunion
Led by the outstanding Reunion Committee of Bob Mason, Charlie Cook, and Harte Crow, thirteen members of the Class of 1952 returned to campus in June to celebrate their 65th reunion. In honor of their milestone reunion, the class established a lofty goal of raising $65,000 in unrestricted Roll Call gifts. It is with great appreciation that we recognize the Class of 1952 for surpassing this lofty goal with an impressive $65,173 raised. Their exceptional support 1987 represents an increase of more than $45,000 – the highest percentage giving increase of any class. We thank the Class of 1992 1952 for their loyal and generous support.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
EHS As a Home Away From Home When Canadian Luigi Vilain ’17 arrived at Episcopal as a new junior in the fall of 2015, he knew he’d have fast friends in his football teammates. What he hadn’t predicted was the friendship that would blossom between him and Virginia Helm ’17, a volleyball player from Virginia who had entered Episcopal as a freshman two years prior. “We met during preseason,” says Virginia. “That’s when we found out we were in the same advisory.” “We just clicked,” Luigi adds. Every Episcopal student is a member of an advisory — a group of students connected by a faculty advisor. Advisors help their advisees to choose classes and extracurricular activities, and they communicate regularly with students’ parents. But that’s just the start. The support that advisors offer, and the meaningful connections that flourish within advisory groups, go
far beyond the written descriptions for the advisor and advisory roles. “The advisory is basically your home away from home,” says Luigi. “You have your advisory parents and your advisory siblings, and they’re like your family.” Virginia and Luigi’s advisors are married faculty members Panos Voulgaris (assistant director of admissions and head varsity football coach) and Shannon Voulgaris (assistant dean of students, social studies teacher, and assistant girls’ varsity lacrosse coach), and while they’re the group’s official “parents,” Shannon credits Virginia and Luigi themselves with adopting parent-like leadership roles within the advisory. It’s because of them, she says, that the advisory truly felt like a family. “During their senior year, Virginia and Luigi were like the mom and dad of our advisory,” says Shannon.

Connections Luigi Vilain ’17 and Virginia Helm ’17
“We are a very diverse group in every sense of the word. Even Panos and I could not be more different as advisors. “Luigi and Virginia were the uniting force that held us all together. As a team, they created a family feel for our advisory, and I’m not sure that either of them would have been able to accomplish that alone.” “I don’t think that Luigi and I, or the other people in our advisory, would be as close friends or even friends at all if it wasn’t for our advisory, because we don’t necessarily cross paths in class or in sports,” Virginia says. “But you spend time with your advisory every day — in chapel, at community meeting, and during seated meals.” While there are plenty of structured opportunities for advisees to connect, Luigi and Virginia thank Panos and Shannon for facilitating the informal
bonding moments that have brought the group even closer together. “The Voulgaris’ are such great people, and we love their kids, too,” says Luigi. “One of my favorite things is going to their house when Mrs. Voulgaris makes brownies. They’re the best brownies I’ve ever had. And Coach Voulgaris is such a tough coach, but as an advisor, he’s so relaxed, and you can talk to him about anything.” As for Virginia’s favorite advisory memory? “There was that time we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and challenged each other to eat the spiciest wings. It was painful, but so much fun!” “The advisory makes the transition and being away from home a lot easier,” says Luigi. “I always have people to turn to.”

Roll Call
Young Alumni Leadership
Episcopal young alumni are committing their support early – and generously – to The High School. Thank you for your outstanding leadership and meaningful gifts to the Roll Call.
Young Alumni Leadership Program (YALP):
Throughout their senior year, YALP members met monthly to learn about the many ways to stay involved with EHS after graduation. They enjoyed dinner with local alumni volunteers, learning firsthand why so many have remained involved with The High School decades after their graduation; they hosted Thank-A-Donor Day, during which students and faculty wrote letters to Roll Call donors; they participated in our first ever giving day challenge, reaching out to other young alumni encouraging their Roll Call support; and they hosted an end of the year “Senior Night” to gather together as a class and celebrate the time they spent together on the Hill. In the spring, YALP members asked their classmates to make their first gift to Episcopal, and the Class of 2017 was inspired to give back! For the second consecutive year, 100 percent of the graduating class made a gift to the Roll Call. Young Alumni Leadership Society (YALS):
Established in 2014, the Young Alumni Leadership Society recognizes the newest generation of alumni for their generous contributions to the Roll Call. YALS Roll Call support grew by 12 percent in 2016-17, with its 50 members giving a combined $36,874.
Like many other alumni, I am eternally grateful for the opportunities provided by The High School. The knowledge I gained in the classroom and the friendships I formed on campus continue to play pivotal roles in my life. The support of young alumni helps ensure that these same opportunities are available to younger generations and serves as a token of appreciation for all that EHS has done for us. Our financial contributions to Episcopal strengthen the lifelong connections we share with the School.” BEN SHUFORD ’09, YALS CO-CHAIR

Callaway Loyalty Society: A Tradition of Giving
Episcopal High School is fortunate to enjoy remarkable support from faithful alumni. Each and every year the students at EHS are supported by alumni who “pay it forward” by supporting the Roll Call.

The Bell Society
Bell Society members seek to ensure that future generations of Episcopal students benefit from the life-changing opportunities that The High School gave them. They love EHS and are committed to its continued importance to the lives of young people. Episcopal’s 187 Bell Society members have expressed their confidence in the School by including EHS in their estate plans. They know that a planned gift made today will ensure an exceptional experience for future generations of students and the faculty who support them.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE LEE SANFORD AINSLIE, JR. ’56 FELLOWS MASTERSHIP PROGRAM The Lee Sanford Ainslie, Jr. ’56 Fellows Mastership Program was established from a bequest by Jesse W. Couch ’40, in honor of former Headmaster Sandy Ainslie ’56. The program provides a generous stipend to support a year-long research project by a teacher or group of teachers. Ainslie Fellows are expected to share the results of their research and plan for implementation with the entire faculty. Episcopal’s first four Ainslie Fellows are Mimi Schwanda and Patrick Thompson, who will research innovative approaches to measuring the impact of leadership and character development programs and curricula, and Caroline English and Mike Reynolds, who will explore best practices for using digital archives and other resources in the classroom.
“I am thrilled that Jesse Couch’s ’40 generosity in honor of Sandy Ainslie ’56, as well as Sandy and Sharon’s own creative educational vision, have helped us to shape a fantastic new approach to innovative research and teaching excellence at Episcopal. Our Ainslie Fellows will play a crucial leadership role in inspiring all the faculty to pursue new and intriguing approaches to the classroom and to offer our students exciting new learning opportunities.” HEAD OF SCHOOL CHARLEY STILLWELL

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Students Helping Students
English teacher Lauren Echko is the director of Episcopal’s Writing Center, but in her words, “It is a student-run writing center; I just oversee things.” The student-comprised Writing Center staff provides support to fellow students of all writing abilities looking for feedback on their writing assignments. Some are referred to the center by teachers, and others seek its services on their own. “Even some of our junior Writing Center tutors — some of the best writers in the junior class — come in for help,” says Lauren. “They realize that an extra set of eyes is always helpful, and I think that’s something they’ve probably learned in their work as tutors.” Paul Gibert ’17 and Natalie Morgan ’17 served as the co-heads of the Writing Center for the 2016-17 school year. In addition to tutoring, they spearheaded much

of the behind-the-scenes work that makes the center run as smoothly as it does, from managing the tutors, to scheduling, to reporting on sessions, to publicizing the center’s services. “It’s a way to give back,” says Paul, who in addition to his administrative work and drop-in tutoring responsibilities, established a regular weekly session with a freshman. “The half hour of time you put towards a student means so much more to them than people might realize.” Natalie agrees, and also notes that “working in the Writing Center is a fun way to learn about different writing styles and approaches. I think it’s made me a better writer.” What makes an effective tutor? For Paul, it’s about writing ability, but also the ability to “talk through ideas

with someone who doesn’t think the same way as you do,” he says. “You have to be able to think like a freshman who may be working on their first big essay, and then jump right to thinking like a senior who has been doing this for four years and has gotten really good at it.” “You learn the ways that people need help pretty quickly,” says Natalie. “People need different things, and tutors need to be able to respond to that.”
“Ms. Echko is a master of handling chaos,” Paul adds. “She’s really good at staying calm and pushing through the mud, and she’s passed that to us.” Of Paul and Natalie, Lauren says, “While they’re both really excellent writers and have strong personal voices within their own writing, they’re also able to draw out the best in the students they work with. It’s really impressive.”
The importance of a flexible approach extends from individual tutoring sessions to the way in which the Writing Center itself is run. “We’re adaptive as a Writing Center,” Natalie says. “This year we changed the way we do things a bit. Even from month to month we adjust. And Ms. Echko has really encouraged that, because I don’t typically like change.”

A Message from the
Director of Institutional Advancement It strikes me that it would be more accurate for the above title to read “In Gratitude.” Once again, the remarkable generosity of our alumni, parents, and friends has enabled Episcopal to deliver an extraordinary year – a year full of memorable experiences that make our students’ educational journeys rich and empowering. Witnessing the events – big and small – that string together to make a year at EHS is an extraordinary thing. The stirring chapel talk that lingers on in our hearts and minds, the perfectly placed goal kick that puts a win in sight, the inspiring citations read as students are inducted into the Cum Laude Society, the coffee hours, the inflatable games, the laughter in the Breeden Black Box Theater, the voices from the choir that bring tears to our eyes, an entire school community swept up in the excitement and tradition of inducting a new Head of School, and the faces of our graduating seniors as they grasp their diplomas and look ahead to life beyond the gate – the list is endless, and it is your generosity that makes it possible. The Roll Call, our annual fund, was an amazing success this year, providing 10.4 percent of the School’s operating revenue, or $3.28 million. An incredible 49
percent of our alumni and 85 percent of current parents contributed, as did 100 percent of the members of the Class of 2017! Dedicated alumni and parents led Reunion efforts, hosted events, made calls on the School’s behalf, and made our first ever Giving Day on June 1 a stunning success. We could not have achieved the ambitious goals we set forth were it not for these contributions, and we could not be more grateful. As our global community of alumni and parents feels stronger than ever, it is exciting to consider what impactful and innovative priorities we will be able to support as the Board of Trustees works to envision and plan for the School’s future. On behalf of all of us at The High School who endeavor to deliver the extraordinary and to build an exciting future on the foundations of an extraordinary past, I thank you for your dedication and commitment. I am honored to share your devotion to Episcopal and look forward to our continued work together.

Treasurer The 2016-17 school year was noteworthy in many ways. Charley and Sallie Stillwell completed their first year. Bailey Patrick ’79, Chair of our Board of Trustees, completed his term of service after overseeing significant changes to the campus over the past six years. However, in many ways, it was a normal school year. There is a regular column in The Chronicle, our student-run newspaper, which charts what is in and what is out. It can be driven by the seasons, athletics, fashion, music, or something unique to Episcopal. The last column of the year declared that the Episcopal Bubble was out and the Real World was in. Studying in the library was out and lounging in the sun was in. And finally, the Class of 2017 was out and the Class of 2018 was in. Some things change. Some things stay the same. But we are never standing still. Having completed the adaptive reuse of Stewart Gym into the Student Center in Stewart Gym, which has been everything we had hoped for, we are about to start construction on two new faculty houses. We expect them to be ready for occupancy by late spring 2018. We are also planning for six additional faculty houses that will be built over the next several years. These new houses will allow us to provide housing for almost 100 percent of our faculty. Once again, our Advancement Office has knocked the ball out of the park. Our annual giving set another
record, exceeding their goal by $90,091 or 2.8 percent for a total of $3.28 million. Our annual fund, the Roll Call, is responsible for over 10 percent of our annual budget revenue. The generosity of our community, families, parents, alumni, and friends provides the extra resources that allow us to distinguish ourselves. We continue to be in sound financial shape. We ended the 2016-17 school year with a $7,000 surplus. Our liquidity is very strong. We hired Monticello Associates to manage our endowment, and it continues to be a priority for the Board. Their first task was to assist us in restructuring and reallocating a significant portion of our endowment. This task has been completed, and we are positioned well to provide the resources we need for the future. Again, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone in the EHS community who has contributed their valuable time and resources to make Episcopal the special place it is.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
The Honor Code
The student and faculty profiles woven through this report (pages 8, 12, 20, and 26) highlight just a few of the defining aspects of the Episcopal experience that would not be possible without your support. Thank you.
For generations, Episcopal’s Honor Code has guided its students to live with integrity, trust, and respect. From the pledge that new students take within their first few days on campus — “I will not lie. I will not cheat. I will not steal. I will report the student who does.” — to the ways in which honor is regularly explored through the Leadership and Ethics Program, the Honor Code is a way of life at The High School. “From my first time visiting Episcopal, it was clear to me that the Honor Code is valued by the students,” says Guy Thomas ’17, Chair of the Honor Committee during the 2016-17 school year. “That’s really special, and I wanted to be a part of it. I think that honor and integrity are among the highest qualities a person can have. I wanted to help to instill those qualities in younger students.” Together, Guy, Tim Rogers ’79 (English teacher and faculty advisor to the Honor Committee) and the

Committee’s other nine student and faculty members, share the immense responsibility and privilege that comes with modeling the Honor Code day in and day out, grappling with questions around potential honor code violations, and making recommendations that impact students’ lives in far-reaching ways. The different perspectives that Tim and Guy bring to their roles, along with their willingness to learn from each other, ensure that each potential Honor Code violation is given serious consideration. Nothing is taken for granted or glossed over. “Mr. Rogers has taught me to be patient, not to take any shortcuts, and to make sure that we have established a good understanding of what’s going on before we take the next step,” Guy says. “There have been times when I’ve rushed to decision-making without fully thinking it through, and Mr. Rogers, luckily, has been there to say, ‘You know what, let’s think this

“When someone asks me, ‘How can we expect 17- and 18-year-olds to make a decision about my child?’ I tell them that, collectively, the Committee is very strong. Stronger than any one individual would be,” Tim says. “Being a good listener is really important, and Guy and I have both learned that.” Of Guy, Tim adds, “He is driven very strongly by conviction. He is marked by a real seriousness of purpose, and when you give him a job, he’s going to take it seriously. In this job, he’s learned that there are benefits to being flexible and looking at a situation and determining what is going to be the best course of action.” “There have been experiences that have humbled me. I’ve made mistakes and learned from others’ advice,” Guy adds. “Serving as Honor Committee Chair has definitely been my most rewarding Episcopal experience.”

The Episcopal faculty has always been the heart and soul of this community. Thanks to an extraordinary faculty, the School can confidently pursue its mission of preparing students to “become discerning individuals with the intellectual and moral courage to lead principled lives of leadership and service to others.” It takes substantial resources to support a talented faculty and to attract and secure the most qualified candidates in an increasingly competitive boarding school market. The most effective way to preserve Episcopal’s defining traditions of exceptional faculty and extraordinary student-faculty connections is to grow the endowment.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Faculty Supporting Students Vincent Hodge ’89, assistant director of admissions and director of financial aid, first met Erin Zhang ’17 on a visit to meet with prospective students in Beijing, China. Erin had made the 1,100-mile journey to Beijing from her hometown of Wuhan, and the visit left a lasting impression on both. “Other schools asked me a few questions and then said goodbye, but I remember that Mr. Hodge and I had a really long conversation. Not only did he answer all my questions about the School, but he really took the time to get to know me,” says Erin. “I felt very connected from the start.” “I’ll never forget that meeting,” adds Vincent. “I remember how genuine Erin was about it all. You could tell from that very first conversation and from her application that she understood how a place like Episcopal could take her from ecology class to the Environmental Protection Agency, and from art class to the National Gallery of Art.”
Once Erin enrolled at Episcopal, Vincent could have considered his work done. However, he continued to play an important and regular role in Erin’s four years at The High School, as he strives to do with all of the international students that he helps bring to Episcopal. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet with a number of prospective students and families over the years and to build upon those initial relationships throughout the students’ time at the School, and in many instances, after their graduations,” he says. From arranging for Erin to receive emergency dental care despite lack of dental insurance coverage in the U.S., to helping her to organize her college visits, Vincent has been there for Erin through occassions both big and small. For Vincent, it’s been a joy to watch Erin grow and contribute to the community over the course of her time at Episcopal.

“For someone who is so accustomed to high levels of achievement and to being independent and doing things on one’s own, it can be difficult to ask for help. Erin has learned that you can keep your hands on the main controls, but sometimes it’s nice to have a navigator pilot. She understands that there are so many people here who want to help,” he says.
“At Episcopal, I became more aware of my surroundings: of the people around me, like my friends, parents, and teachers. Sometimes people become too absorbed in their own work and become self-centered. I feel that I’m quite lucky that I’m not completely like that, and that I have the ability to worry about other people and to help other people. I’m very grateful.”
“She is enthusiastic, intelligent, reliable, and persistent. She’s compassionate, and while exceptionally bright, she is very humble and acknowledges and respects the contributions of others. This may be her greatest attribute.” Erin, who will study computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, says, “I often think about what I would have become had I stayed in China for high school, and it’s not just about the college matriculation stuff. It’s about growing as a person.

Roll Call
Forty-nine percent of alumni participated in the Roll Call in 2016-17 — that’s an increase of two points over the prior year. Gifts from alumni inspire others to join in support of the School. Never was this more evident than during the School’s first giving day challenge, The EHS Finals Countdown. Episcopal enjoyed enthusiastic support from alumni on that day and all year long.

COUNTDOWN
Episcopal’s First-Ever Day of Giving
1
On June 1, the Episcopal community joined together to take on its first-ever one-day giving challenge: the EHS Finals Countdown. With a generous $100,000 challenge gift on the line thanks to an anonymous group of alumni and parents, we asked our community to help us collect 440 Roll Call gifts in a single day – one gift for every current student. We never anticipated the outpouring of support we received; our 440-donor goal was met by lunchtime, inspiring a second anonymous $50,000 challenge gift. By the end of the day, EHS alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, friends, and every single member of the Class of 2017 had banded together to make 871 gifts totaling $346,807. Beyond the enormous practical impact of the money raised on June 1, this day of giving reminded us all how powerful the EHS community is. Across years and miles, you support each other, and you support the students. For that, we are truly grateful.

The Randolph Fairfax Society, which honors those who give $5,000 or more to the annual Roll Call, grew to 188 donors. These leadership donors combined to give 68 percent of the total Roll Call, providing The High School with critical resources for the students and teachers. Donors who increase their financial commitment to EHS – whether an alumnus marking their reunion year, a senior parent celebrating a student’s graduation, or a friend of the School with more to give in a particular year — help us build a sustainable program in fulfillment of Episcopal’s mission.

Led by the outstanding Reunion Committee of Bob Mason, Charlie Cook, and Harte Crow, thirteen members of the Class of 1952 returned to campus in June to celebrate their 65th reunion. In honor of their milestone reunion, the class established a lofty goal of raising $65,000 in unrestricted Roll Call gifts. It is with great appreciation that we recognize the Class of 1952 for surpassing this lofty goal with an impressive $65,173 raised. Their exceptional support 1987 represents an increase of more than $45,000 – the highest percentage giving increase of any class. We thank the Class of 1992 1952 for their loyal and generous support.

Episcopal C YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
EHS As a Home Away From Home When Canadian Luigi Vilain ’17 arrived at Episcopal as a new junior in the fall of 2015, he knew he’d have fast friends in his football teammates. What he hadn’t predicted was the friendship that would blossom between him and Virginia Helm ’17, a volleyball player from Virginia who had entered Episcopal as a freshman two years prior. “We met during preseason,” says Virginia. “That’s when we found out we were in the same advisory.” “We just clicked,” Luigi adds. Every Episcopal student is a member of an advisory — a group of students connected by a faculty advisor. Advisors help their advisees to choose classes and extracurricular activities, and they communicate regularly with students’ parents. But that’s just the start. The support that advisors offer, and the meaningful connections that flourish within advisory groups, go
far beyond the written descriptions for the advisor and advisory roles. “The advisory is basically your home away from home,” says Luigi. “You have your advisory parents and your advisory siblings, and they’re like your family.” Virginia and Luigi’s advisors are married faculty members Panos Voulgaris (assistant director of admissions and head varsity football coach) and Shannon Voulgaris (assistant dean of students, social studies teacher, and assistant girls’ varsity lacrosse coach), and while they’re the group’s official “parents,” Shannon credits Virginia and Luigi themselves with adopting parent-like leadership roles within the advisory. It’s because of them, she says, that the advisory truly felt like a family. “During their senior year, Virginia and Luigi were like the mom and dad of our advisory,” says Shannon.

“We are a very diverse group in every sense of the word. Even Panos and I could not be more different as advisors. “Luigi and Virginia were the uniting force that held us all together. As a team, they created a family feel for our advisory, and I’m not sure that either of them would have been able to accomplish that alone.” “I don’t think that Luigi and I, or the other people in our advisory, would be as close friends or even friends at all if it wasn’t for our advisory, because we don’t necessarily cross paths in class or in sports,” Virginia says. “But you spend time with your advisory every day — in chapel, at community meeting, and during seated meals.” While there are plenty of structured opportunities for advisees to connect, Luigi and Virginia thank Panos and Shannon for facilitating the informal
bonding moments that have brought the group even closer together. “The Voulgaris’ are such great people, and we love their kids, too,” says Luigi. “One of my favorite things is going to their house when Mrs. Voulgaris makes brownies. They’re the best brownies I’ve ever had. And Coach Voulgaris is such a tough coach, but as an advisor, he’s so relaxed, and you can talk to him about anything.” As for Virginia’s favorite advisory memory? “There was that time we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and challenged each other to eat the spiciest wings. It was painful, but so much fun!” “The advisory makes the transition and being away from home a lot easier,” says Luigi. “I always have people to turn to.”

Young Alumni Leadership
Episcopal young alumni are committing their support early – and generously – to The High School. Thank you for your outstanding leadership and meaningful gifts to the Roll Call.
Young Alumni Leadership Program (YALP):
Throughout their senior year, YALP members met monthly to learn about the many ways to stay involved with EHS after graduation. They enjoyed dinner with local alumni volunteers, learning firsthand why so many have remained involved with The High School decades after their graduation; they hosted Thank-A-Donor Day, during which students and faculty wrote letters to Roll Call donors; they participated in our first ever giving day challenge, reaching out to other young alumni encouraging their Roll Call support; and they hosted an end of the year “Senior Night” to gather together as a class and celebrate the time they spent together on the Hill. In the spring, YALP members asked their classmates to make their first gift to Episcopal, and the Class of 2017 was inspired to give back! For the second consecutive year, 100 percent of the graduating class made a gift to the Roll Call. Young Alumni Leadership Society (YALS):
Established in 2014, the Young Alumni Leadership Society recognizes the newest generation of alumni for their generous contributions to the Roll Call. YALS Roll Call support grew by 12 percent in 2016-17, with its 50 members giving a combined $36,874.
Like many other alumni, I am eternally grateful for the opportunities provided by The High School. The knowledge I gained in the classroom and the friendships I formed on campus continue to play pivotal roles in my life. The support of young alumni helps ensure that these same opportunities are available to younger generations and serves as a token of appreciation for all that EHS has done for us. Our financial contributions to Episcopal strengthen the lifelong connections we share with the School.” BEN SHUFORD ’09, YALS CO-CHAIR

Bell Society members seek to ensure that future generations of Episcopal students benefit from the life-changing opportunities that The High School gave them. They love EHS and are committed to its continued importance to the lives of young people. Episcopal’s 187 Bell Society members have expressed their confidence in the School by including EHS in their estate plans. They know that a planned gift made today will ensure an exceptional experience for future generations of students and the faculty who support them.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE LEE SANFORD AINSLIE, JR. ’56 FELLOWS MASTERSHIP PROGRAM The Lee Sanford Ainslie, Jr. ’56 Fellows Mastership Program was established from a bequest by Jesse W. Couch ’40, in honor of former Headmaster Sandy Ainslie ’56. The program provides a generous stipend to support a year-long research project by a teacher or group of teachers. Ainslie Fellows are expected to share the results of their research and plan for implementation with the entire faculty. Episcopal’s first four Ainslie Fellows are Mimi Schwanda and Patrick Thompson, who will research innovative approaches to measuring the impact of leadership and character development programs and curricula, and Caroline English and Mike Reynolds, who will explore best practices for using digital archives and other resources in the classroom.
“I am thrilled that Jesse Couch’s ’40 generosity in honor of Sandy Ainslie ’56, as well as Sandy and Sharon’s own creative educational vision, have helped us to shape a fantastic new approach to innovative research and teaching excellence at Episcopal. Our Ainslie Fellows will play a crucial leadership role in inspiring all the faculty to pursue new and intriguing approaches to the classroom and to offer our students exciting new learning opportunities.” HEAD OF SCHOOL CHARLEY STILLWELL

Episcopal C A CLOSER LOOK AT
Students Helping Students
English teacher Lauren Echko is the director of Episcopal’s Writing Center, but in her words, “It is a student-run writing center; I just oversee things.” The student-comprised Writing Center staff provides support to fellow students of all writing abilities looking for feedback on their writing assignments. Some are referred to the center by teachers, and others seek its services on their own. “Even some of our junior Writing Center tutors — some of the best writers in the junior class — come in for help,” says Lauren. “They realize that an extra set of eyes is always helpful, and I think that’s something they’ve probably learned in their work as tutors.” Paul Gibert ’17 and Natalie Morgan ’17 served as the co-heads of the Writing Center for the 2016-17 school year. In addition to tutoring, they spearheaded much

of the behind-the-scenes work that makes the center run as smoothly as it does, from managing the tutors, to scheduling, to reporting on sessions, to publicizing the center’s services. “It’s a way to give back,” says Paul, who in addition to his administrative work and drop-in tutoring responsibilities, established a regular weekly session with a freshman. “The half hour of time you put towards a student means so much more to them than people might realize.” Natalie agrees, and also notes that “working in the Writing Center is a fun way to learn about different writing styles and approaches. I think it’s made me a better writer.” What makes an effective tutor? For Paul, it’s about writing ability, but also the ability to “talk through ideas

with someone who doesn’t think the same way as you do,” he says. “You have to be able to think like a freshman who may be working on their first big essay, and then jump right to thinking like a senior who has been doing this for four years and has gotten really good at it.” “You learn the ways that people need help pretty quickly,” says Natalie. “People need different things, and tutors need to be able to respond to that.”
“Ms. Echko is a master of handling chaos,” Paul adds. “She’s really good at staying calm and pushing through the mud, and she’s passed that to us.” Of Paul and Natalie, Lauren says, “While they’re both really excellent writers and have strong personal voices within their own writing, they’re also able to draw out the best in the students they work with. It’s really impressive.”
The importance of a flexible approach extends from individual tutoring sessions to the way in which the Writing Center itself is run. “We’re adaptive as a Writing Center,” Natalie says. “This year we changed the way we do things a bit. Even from month to month we adjust. And Ms. Echko has really encouraged that, because I don’t typically like change.”
