10 HIES Responds to South Carolina Floods 11 JDRF Fall Walk Team Can’t Be Stopped 12 C&G Magazine Earns Accolades

I interview students quite a bit for stories that appear in this magazine or on the website. One of my favorite questions to ask is which member of the HIES faculty has had the biggest impact on them. And since I began asking that question eight years ago, one name has been mentioned far more than any other: Gerard Gatoux.

Monsieur or Señor Gatoux, depending on which language he was teaching, retired at the end of the 2014-15 school year. He’d told me awhile ago that he was looking forward to retirement, but whenever I asked if this was the year, he always replied, “Oh I don’t know—probably.” I wonder if he honestly wasn’t sure or if he just didn’t want anyone to make a big deal of it. The point is, though, that I never got a chance to celebrate this remarkable educator’s retirement within these pages.

Gerard received a number of honors and awards over his long career, including the Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction Award in 2009. But the words spoken about him by his students say much more, in my opinion. “He’s very encouraging, a great spirit.” “He has a way of gently pushing and pushing, then making you think it was all your work.” “He always made us question the source and think for ourselves.” (Remember, this is a World Languages teacher.)

Gerard would also come into my office every other day it seemed, asking if we could put out a story about one of his students, a colleague, or an alum who’d just done something that he felt was newsworthy. He was a walking PR agency for everyone in his life. But he never blew his own horn; it took my asking students who their most influential teacher was to learn about the man.

I really miss having Gerard on campus this year. But I’m sure our students miss him much more.

oly Innocents’ alumnus Skye Bolt ’12, who practically rewrote the record books during his Golden Bear baseball career, was selected in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB draft by the Oakland Athletics. After signing his rookie contract, Skye spent last summer playing for the Vermont Lake Monsters, an A’s farm team in Burlington.

At HIES, Skye helped lead the Golden Bears to a playoff berth in all four of his varsity seasons.

Following his senior year, he was ranked as the #6 player in Georgia and the 39th top prospect nationally, but chose to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel

Hill over turning pro right out of high school.

Known as a “five tool player” (someone who excels at hitting for average, hitting for power, fielding ability, throwing ability, and running speed),

My team and I were about halfway finished with the project when I look across the street and see a little girl wearing a familiar burgundy uniform playing with her friends. I called her over, and sure enough, she was wearing a Holy Innocents’ uniform! I became very excited (much to her confusion, since she spoke very little English) and took her picture. My

team was baffled as I told them that the uniform came from the school where I was employed; and I was proud to know that God was using Holy Innocents’ to provide for this child’s need!”

The Parents’ Association regularly donates used uniforms to charities that provide clothing for children in developing nations. But we don’t often get such a great example of this global program in practice!

IT’S no exAggerATIon to say that competitive fly fishing has caught the public’s imagination. Over the past few years, the sport has gained enormous popularity around the world and an increasing number of TV broadcasts are watched by millions.

HIES junior George Fallon understands the attraction, having caught the fly fishing bug at an early age. He spends most of his free time fishing on Lake Lanier and, regardless of where his family spends vacation, George always finds a place to fish.

His love of the sport, as well as his remarkable talent, have earned George a spot on the U.S. Youth Fly Fishing Team, the world’s premier team of young anglers. Over the past five years, the U.S. team has won the World Championship gold medal four times; they took home silver in 2013.

George says he’s especially honored to represent his country and looks forward to “fishing with and learning from my teammates and coaches.” He plans to focus on environmental studies and conservation in college, having learned their importance through fishing. “I hope to share what I learn about conservation and raise global awareness so that everyone, in all countries, will understand the importance of keeping our waters clean and the Earth protected,” he says.

That’s what we call a keeper.

A Flood Of Compassion I

n early October, many parts of South Carolina suffered devastating floods after rain bands from Hurricane Joaquin and a strong storm system from the west converged over the state. The onslaught caused many dams to burst, creating a critical lack of fresh drinking water for tens of thousands of our neighbors.

Led by the rector of Holy Innocents’, the Rev. Michael Sullivan (who first served at Church of the Advent in Spartanburg, SC), the Holy Innocents’ community sprang into action. It began with Sullivan’s simple question on Facebook

asking if anyone had a truck that could carry water to South Carolina. And when Associate Head of School Dorothy Sullivan sent out word that HIES would join in the effort, donations of bottled water began pouring in—from families, businesses, and neighboring parishes.

In two short days, Holy Innocents’ had gathered enough water to fill two large trucks and an HIES bus,

which set off in the early morning for Anderson, SC, followed by a second bus carrying student and faculty volunteers to help unload.

When they arrived at their destination, they were met by several HIES alumni from Clemson University who’d come to help!

The Diocese of Upper South Carolina took over from there and distributed the water around Columbia

and in Williamsburg County, where some of the greatest damage occurred.

“It’s hard to see people’s lives being changed forever, but it’s an opportunity to see ourselves as neighbors and do what we’re called to do,” said Sullivan, reflecting on the efforts.

“Holy Innocents’ is about compassion; this community reacts with love and care whenever we ask them to.”

The Origin of a Species

Earning His Wings route I had planned that went from KTOC in Toccoa to KCHA in Chattanooga.”

To a non-pilot, the flight exam sounds terrifying. What seems like the “easy” part is showing a plan to navigate around obstacles, identifying emergency airports along the route, and navigating by radio, since GPS isn’t allowed during the exam. But then Reese had to simulate different dangerous situations while at the controls.

n 2009, we ran a story within these pages on sixth-grader Reese Foster, who’d flown his family’s Legend Piper Cub airplane from Destin, FL to Eagle River, WI, for the world’s largest airshow, AirVenture.

Now an HIES senior, Reese has already graduated in one respect; last summer, he earned his private pilot’s license.

“Aviation has been a part of our family for a long time,” says Reese, who earned his license at age 17, the minimum permitted by the FAA. “My granddad flew the F-8 Crusader in the Navy during Vietnam, and afterwards he taught at Top Gun, flying the F-4 Phantom.

TorchBearer | Fall 2015

When he left the Navy, he started a business called Ogara Jets that buys, sells, and trades private jets.”

His father, Johnny, is now the president and CEO of the family business, and also a long-time pilot. “Like my dad, I’ve been exposed to aviation since I was a baby,” explains Reese. “I’ve flown around the country with both my dad and granddad. I think all the exposure is really what pushed me to get my pilot’s license. Plus I really like doing it.”

Liking to fly and passing the private pilot license tests are two very different things, though. The process begins with a knowledge exam that, according to Reese, “covers mostly everything. I was super

worried about it and studied a lot.” In true pilot form, he aced it.

The final two tests are the oral exam and the flight exam, both taken on the same day. “The oral exam comes first, and if the flight examiner sees that your knowledge is suitable to be granted a license, he begins a flight test,” explains Reese, whose knowledge was quickly deemed suitable.

“I knew once I passed the oral exam I was homefree, because actually flying the plane is my strength. I got a weather report, did a preflight on the plane, and we departed on a cross-country

“I completed an emergency dead stick landing—an engine out simulation—as well as steep turns, stalls, and IFR navigation, using just instruments with no view out of the window.”

The calm with which he explains the test betrays a true pilot’s character.

But there’s no missing the excitement in his voice when asked what it felt like to pass.

“Best feeling ever,” he beams.

pper School science teacher Dr. W. David Lambert received an email earlier this September that began, “I am pleased to inform you that your manuscript entitled Eurybelodon shoshanii, an unusual new shovel-tusked gomphothere (Mammalia, Proboscidea) from the late Miocene of Oregon has been accepted for publication in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.”

For those who don’t speak Paleontologese, that translates roughly as, “Congratulations.”

Two summers ago, Lambert used a Greenbaum Grant to address a question he’d had since the late 1990s, when he was writing a chapter for a book on fossil mammals of North

U

America. “While doing research, I came across a 1963 paper describing a very strange, 12-millionyear-old elephant,” he explains. “Its most striking aspect was the apparent presence of complete enamel shells on both its upper and lower

tusks—primitive elephants possessed both upper and lower tusks, but enamel was very rarely, if ever, present.”

Lambert says he knew something was wrong with the paper’s conclusion.

“The authors referred this animal to a known genus and species. But as a specialist in fossil elephants, I knew that it represented something new and unique,” he says. “I wanted to describe it as a new genus and species, but the rules of biological classification would not let me formally name this animal without directly examining Dr. Lambert examines the fossils at the the specimens.”

But it wasn’t the kind of summer campamento with cabins and canoes.

Josie attended the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy in Vermont, one of the country’s most prestigious and rigorous

language programs. The academy offers full immersion programs in several languages, including Spanish (which Josie attended), French, and Arabic, with one important rule by which all attendees must abide: No English Allowed!

For four weeks, Josie lived in a dorm, spent five hours a day in class, and spoke Spanish “even in the dorms at night and when we woke

up in the morning,” she said.

And her Spanish improved exponentially, in reading, writing, and conversation.

“I even began to dream in Spanish!”

Josie’s goal is to major in international business in college, and live part of her life abroad. “I’d love a job that would take me all over the world,” she explains, “one that includes traveling, speaking Spanish, and business.”

We certainly wish her buena suerte.

Greenbaum grant, Dr. Lambert visited the University of Oregon Museum of Natural History and examined the fossils firsthand. “I was able to confirm conclusively that this animal does, indeed, represent a new fossil elephant.” He named the species Eurybelodon shoshanii, in honor of Jeheskel Shoshani, a fellow fossil elephant specialist and personal friend who was tragically killed in a terrorist bombing in Eritrea.

Lambert says he’s especially grateful for the support provided by the Greenbaum family. “Not only did they allow me to document a fossil elephant lineage that is completely new to science, but also now have a personal example of research that I can use when teaching my students how scientific discovery works.”

New Affiliate Partner:

Holy Innocents’ Forms Affiliate Partnership With National Center for Civil and Human Rights

H

oly Innocents’ has been named an Affiliate Partner with Atlanta’s National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Inc., in downtown Atlanta—an engaging cultural attraction connecting the American Civil Rights Movement to today’s Global Human Rights Movements. The partnership is particularly appropriate for a HIES, with its mission, in part, to develop in students a respect for self and others.

“As an Episcopal school, we are called and compelled to stand for inclusivity of culture, diversity of thought, and the worth and dignity of every human being,” said Head of School Paul Barton.

The collaboration will not only give Holy Innocents’ access to educational programming, but also provide professional development opportunities, internships, and special admission fees. The Center’s staff will also deliver up to 10 hours of curriculum support.

“Having this type of partnership provides opportunities for inclusive dialogue as we prepare global leaders of tomorrow,”

TorchBearer | Fall 2015

said Keith White, HIES Director of Community Outreach and Associate Director of Admissions. “Through this partnership, our community will have access to a plethora of programs and experiences as we foster in our students a respect for self and others and a sense of service to the world community.”

The Center for Civil and Human Rights opened on June 23, 2014, not far from the birthplace of Civil Rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., whose speeches, letters, and artifacts are exhibited in a special gallery of rotating items from the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection. Martyrs to the Movement are remembered at The Center, as well as those involved in newer, broader cases of the fight for global human rights.

“Our purpose is to create a safe space for visitors to explore the fundamental rights of all human beings so that they leave inspired and empowered to join the ongoing dialogue about human rights in their communities,” said Dina Bailey, The Center’s Director of Educational Strategies.

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

T

he fall of 2015 may be remembered as a time in which our past, present, and future converged. We grieved the passing of our matriarch, Alice Malcolm, opened the signature building on our campus, and began planning for the next phase of our master plan.

With the ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new 64,000-squarefoot STEM/Commons Building, a new era began for Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School. Looking at blueprints, sitting in construction meetings, and watching the building sprout from the ground did not prepare us for the transformational impact this new space would have on our community. The dining hall is now the centerpiece of our campus, the place whereby we truly become one school with faculty members, students, and school and church staff gathering each day to share laughs, tell stories, and support friends.

New traditions have been born out of this new space. We celebrated our inaugural tie ceremony during which seniors received their ties from kindergartners in the courtyard. And old traditions have been made new again. On Grandparents’ Day, our younger students were able to host their most special guests at a reception in our spacious new dining hall.

Our academic programs have been greatly enhanced by state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, and social space designed to engage, collaborate, and energize. Students and teachers praise the abundance of natural light throughout the building as a crucial component to the renewed sense of focus and energy around teaching and learning.

While much of the attention is on the new building, the Riley Building has also received a facelift and critical enhancements.

Old labs have been converted into new classrooms. The Malcolm Library is now awash in natural light with large windows facing the courtyard. Our student lounges and classrooms contain new, comfortable furniture. And just when you think our wonderful Campus Shop couldn’t get any better, it got bigger.

The Upper School is simply abuzz with the new and improved.

Thanks to your generous support of our One School Campaign, more than $24 million was raised. The fruits of that labor—Alumni Hall, the new STEM/Commons building and the adjacent courtyard, renovations to the Riley Building, and the newest parking lot on south campus—are truly game-changers for our community. We are extremely proud of the trajectory our school is on.

This fall also brought sad news for our HI family in the passing of Alice Malcolm. But Alice’s remarkable life of faithful service to Holy Innocents’ reminds us that we are able to see a little further today because we stand on the shoulders of giants. Her vision for HIES and her tenacious spirit led to the purchase of the Riley Building in 1989 and the creation of our Upper School. Alice’s funeral brought back to campus a sort of Who’s Who of Holy Innocents’—alumni and their parents, past and current teachers and administrators, former board members, and many friends of HIES. As more than 200 people gathered in the new dining hall, sharing Alice stories, I couldn’t help but think about how happy she must be.

She is surely looking down on her school and smiling at the community that continues to flourish in this special place. Well done, good and faithful servant! – Matthew 25:23 With an appreciation for our past and a sense of accomplishment in our present, we turn our attention and our efforts to building an even brighter future. The administration, in conjunction with our Board of Trustees, has begun planning for the next phase of our campus master plan. In 2009, the Sandy Springs City Council approved the HIES site plan to develop the campus with 21st-century facilities befitting a top-tier independent school. So as you can see, great progress has been made but much remains. I look forward to partnering with you during this new era for Holy Innocents’ as together we write the next chapter in this incredible story.

IN MEMORIAM

Alice Malcolm The Holy Innocents’ community remembered Alice Law Malcolm on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015, with a service at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church. Malcolm, a beloved figure on campus since the school’s founding, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Malcolm was more closely associated with HIES than any other person in school history.

Her son, Andrew, was in the first class of PreSchool students when HIES was founded in 1959—and all parents were required to work at least one day a week at the school. She volunteered as the art teacher, then was hired as the full-time art teacher in 1960, pushing a cart of paints and supplies from class to class. In 1969, she became Dean of Students, then Interim Headmaster in 197475, and finally Headmaster from 1983-96.

During the school’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, Malcolm revealed that she’d originally wanted to pursue a career in landscape architecture. “The way things turned out certainly was not planned,” she said. “I never intended to teach school in my life.” The thousands of people whose lives she touched are grateful that fate had other plans for her.

Middle School science teacher Janet Silvera recalled that Malcolm treated faculty members like trusted professionals and encouraged them to always do their best. “She treated the HIES faculty and students as one big family,” said Silvera.

“And her legacy at Holy Innocents’ is that tradition of nurturing, which still endures today.”

Perhaps Malcolm’s most lasting legacy, however, is the HIES Upper School, for which she was the driving force leading to its founding in 1991. For years, Holy Innocents’ offered a PK-8 curriculum, but as Malcolm remembered during the division’s 20th anniversary in 2011, “I desperately wanted the Upper School. Everything had gone so nicely with what we had, so why not finish it up?”

Middle School French teacher Anne Jackson was an HIES parent volunteer when Fulton County put the Riley Elementary School property on the market in 1988. “I thought, we can’t get that because those big office parks behind us can TorchBearer | Fall 2015

afford more than we can. But Alice was an amazing ambassador and she got it done.”

When Malcolm was introduced during a 50th-anniversary luncheon in 2009, she received a long, loving, standing ovation.

Interim Associate Head of School Dorothy Sullivan lauded Malcolm that day by mentioning her former colleague’s vision for Holy Innocents’. “She never waivered from that,” Sullivan recalled. “She always kept her eye on the future and what was important. And I never knew a student who didn’t love her.”

Today, the Upper School’s Malcolm Library is named in her honor, the Malcolm Hymn is sung at special events, and each year the Alice L. Malcolm Headmaster’s Award is presented to a rising senior who best exemplifies the school philosophy. Malcolm was named to Georgia’s Personal Women of Achievement list in 2012, and in 2013 was presented with Holy Innocents’ Lifetime Achievement Award.

“Her association with HIES began when the school was founded, and in many ways, never stopped,” said Head of School Paul Barton. “She was one of the pillars of this place—a person who possessed a rare combination of courage, commitment, humility, and tenderness.

“Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School was blessed by her presence and continues to be guided by her spirit.”

Taking Off On The New York Runway

“Shredding” At The Kennedy Center Honors

hen David Immerman was in the Holy Innocents’ orchestra, he would often spend time “shredding” the violin, recalls HIES Orchestra Director Elizabeth Lamback. “He was a senior my first year teaching upstairs in the old Mac Gym, and all he really wanted to do was ‘shred’ on his violin, sort of like playing a miniguitar,” she said. “I still really don’t know what shredding means.”

Immerman has turned his passion for music into a rewarding career as a rock guitarist, leading him to the star-studded Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Tom Hanks last January.

“They were doing a thing from the Wonders (the band in the movie That Thing You Do!) backed up by singers in the Pentatonix,” said Immerman, who now makes his living mostly as a touring musician. “The Pentatonix needed a backing band, so we did it—me and a few friends.

“It was a bit difficult because it’s prerecorded live for TV, and a lot of huge people were there,” Immerman explained.

“The president is at eye-line with you in the first row of the balcony! And you have to go through metal detection and deal with the Secret Service backstage.

But I had good buddies there so it was fun.” (Tom Hanks even sent a personal note thanking Immerman.)

The Kennedy Center, however, is not Immerman’s only claim to fame. He has performed on numerous TV shows, such as “Good Morning America,” “Ellen,” “American Idol,” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He’s also performed on countless tours, and last summer served as music director for singer/songwriter Juliet Simms.

Immerman was inspired to become a professional musician by his grandfather, a violinist. After graduating from Holy Innocents’, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and studied business management. “Before I started touring, I worked in the music business and in publishing,” he explained, “but I didn’t really want to do it.” So he took a chance and now tours regularly with Avril Lavigne.

Immerman, now 30, is based in Los Angeles and New Orleans but spends much of his time on the road. Still, he said, it’s what he always dreamed of, even while playing violin at Holy Innocents’. “I always wanted to do this. With Avril, the pay is good and I’ve had some awesome experiences. I mean, I saw the Wall of China last year. I don’t know when I would have ever done that.”

And he believes he has a good future in the music business. “I’ve built up a pretty good resume.” He’s even managed to impress his family who might not necessarily recognize Avril Lavigne’s music.

“I told my grandmother I was playing The Kennedy Center Honors and she was like, ‘Oh, OK,’” Immerman said. “Then she said, ‘You played for the president’?!?”

hen the latest designer fashions are modeled at New York Fashion Week this coming Feb. 11-16, Holy Innocents’ will be well represented: Kelsey Randall ’05 will show her eponymous collection of handcrafted dresses.

The 28-year-old launched her own collection in New York City last August, fashions she describes as “feminine and not overtly sexy, not trendy, just beautiful.” Randall’s dresses retail from $1,100–$2,800 and are created in luxurious fabrics such as taffeta, organza, and silk shantung.

Randall credits art teacher Judie Jacobs, particularly, with helping her make her way to the New York runway. “I was always the youngest one in the class, and she made sure I had what I needed,” she recalled.” Randall also noted that another favorite teacher, Alice Thompson, taught her skills such as Photoshop and InDesign that Randall, a yearbook co-editor, considers invaluable.

“We spent days, nights and weekends in what is now the office of room 411, so we got to know each other well,” recalled Thompson. “I’ll never forget what she told me after her first Photoshop class at Parsons. She said that everyone in the class was freaking out but she just put her feet up on the table and laughed!”

In addition to some special HIES teachers, Randall attributes her success to hard work, a good post-graduate education, and planning. “I’m definitely much more of a planner,” she said. “I

knew in college my goal was to have my own line, so I did all the research.”

The design element of Randall’s work is actually only about 10 percent of what she does, she noted. She also manages her studio in Brooklyn, and oversees the manufacturing and other business sides of “Kelsey Randall,” which may soon be expanding.

“I’m talking with a major store,” Randall confided. “But it’s designer price point so it won’t ever be mass market.

Just before launching her first collection, Randall sent Judie Jacobs an invitation and a hand-written note that

read: “I’ll never forget what an amazing and supportive teacher you are.” In turn, Jacobs sings Randall’s praises.

“Kelsey was one of the most accomplished and driven students I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my teaching career. She took every art class offered at the time and was very focused, while at the same time remaining very poised, mature, and well liked by her friends. I knew she would achieve the goals she set for herself, and that’s what it’s all about—helping students to improve, grow, and capitalize on their own talent.”

Randall lives and works in New York City now, after growing up just a stroll from Holy Innocents’, which she attended from second grade through graduation.

After HIES, Randall studied art at The Oxbow School, Savannah College of Art and Design, and School of the Art Institute Chicago, before graduating with honors from the Fashion Department at Parsons, The New School for Design.

She spent several years working at Bill Blass and the French brand Lilith, before debuting Kelsey Randall in August 2015.

“Kelsey is not only talented, but tenacious,” noted Thompson. “Every experience is a learning opportunity to her. She chose to stick it out in New York and work her way up the ladder until she got to produce her own line and show at Fashion Week.”

A Chinese Homecoming

by Caroline Catts-Xie ‘98 AssistAnt Director of college counseling

W

e arrived exhausted and begging for a shower after sitting on a plane for 18 hours. We were ready for a bed—and food that didn’t come in stackable containers with plastic wrap.

Aiden, our 9-year-old, and a third-grader at Holy Innocents’, was born in Beijing but had not returned to China since we moved to Atlanta when he was very small.

This would be his first meeting with his grandparents, aunts, and uncles that he would actually remember.

We had much planned for our short week in China: a family wedding, sightseeing in Beijing, and numerous meals with friends. We had come to China during “Golden Week”, a celebration of the founding of modern China, and a time when millions of Chinese travel; train and plane tickets sell out months in advance and traffic comes to a standstill.

Inner Mongolia, the province that borders the country of Mongolia to the north, was our first stop. Aiden was an immediate hit with his relatives, not only because they had not seen him in so long, but also because of his hair and eye color. Very

few foreigners venture to Inner Mongolia and many villagers have never met someone from outside of China. Aiden was stopped on the street numerous times to take pictures with complete strangers He participated in his aunt’s wedding, helping to light the traditional firecrackers that keep evil sprits away and bless the wedding.

Aiden presented his aunt with a hong bao, or red envelope full of money (888 yuan to be exact, because the number 8 is auspicious). He even got to hold the train of his aunt’s red dress as she was carried around the village on her new husband’s back, signifying his need to care for her all of her life.

After three days in Inner Mongolia, we headed to Beijing on an overnight train. Aiden was a hit with a group of curious Chinese children who wanted to practice their English. Even though they were separated by language and culture, the children played Minecraft on Aiden’s iPad late into the night.

In Beijing, we visited Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven, but Aiden’s favorite was The Great Wall, high in the mountains outside the city.

Even though he missed a week of school, Aiden had the chance to meet his relatives, experience another culture and language, and eat real Chinese food! He brought his classmates a small gift of Chinese money and candy in a hong bao, and shared his adventures with the class. Though home is Atlanta, Aiden now understands his Chinese heritage better and can’t wait to return next summer!

Summer in Palo Alto

by Sean Hackett ‘17

Hello. I’m Sean

Hackett, a junior at HIES. I’ve heard some awesome stories of people’s summers, including backpacking in Europe, going to the Caribbean, and even adventuring on safaris! However, I spent my summer doing the nerdiest and possibly the most contradictory thing someone my age can do: go back to school.

Beginning in June, I had the utmost pleasure of attending eight weeks at Stanford University as an undergraduate, staying in the Alondra House of Florence Moore Hall. While there, I enrolled in physics, engineering, and entrepreneurship classes, with top-notch professors and experts in the field.

However, there was much more to do than go to class.

In addition to taking several university-level classes, I was able to conduct research, tour laboratories, meet recognized members of the science world, gaze at the stars in an observatory late at night, visit attractions around the San Francisco Bay Area, and many more amazing things I will probably never forget. Words cannot describe the wonderment you feel when you see the rings of Saturn through a telescope with your own eyes, or spot the ISS in the night sky with people who care about the experience just as much as you do.

Although it may seem like all a person does in college is work, there is actually much more to do. The campus is downright beautiful and it is a pleasure just to stroll around the vast expanse on your own. Lots of times, I would go into Palo Alto in the sunny and mild weather and visit the quirky shops, drinking sodas and eating ice cream sandwiches. Some of the best moments were just the silly little things we did, like stay up until 3 a.m. hosting freestyle rap

battles, and recording the outrageous things with a worn-out selfie stick. Oh yeah, a worn-out selfie stick. We sure did some interesting things over the summer.

Ultimately, the most lasting and memorable aspect of the program was the people. I’ve never laughed so hard at so many inside jokes in my life! Everyone there was approachable, genuine, and shared my sense of humor. They were also some of the smartest and most talented people I’ve met, many being nationally recognized for their talents. The dorm I stayed in had the most diverse group of people I’ve ever known, coming from India, China, the UK, Russia, and every corner of the United States. The best part about the diversity of the group was the revelation that all of us experience the same type of high school drama. We laughed, cried, and reminisced together as a unit. I was given the honor of designing the house shirt, representing the Alondragons, which we all wore proudly on the last day when we parted as if we had become a family.

Overall, the experience was unforgettable. I was happy to represent Holy Innocents’ in Palo Alto over the summer, and hopefully, this experience hints at things to come.

Fingers crossed!

Field Research On The College Question Exploring different campuses helps students focus the application process.

by Tyler Sant Director of college counseling

A

pparently I am a rare breed in Atlanta. I am a hockey fan. Instead of the Iron Bowl, the Golden Egg, or the Okefenokee Oar, I get excited about the Beanpot, a four-team college hockey tournament played annually in Boston. You might be surprised to know it is not the only piece of cookware fought over by college teams; SMU and TCU battle for the Iron Skillet.

Eleven HIES students can now say with the same pride I do that they have visited all of the campuses represented in the yearly Beanpot tournament—Harvard, Northeastern, Boston College, and Boston University. Eleven brave students spent fall break visiting colleges near Boston with Laura Sensenig and me. We learned about the small, liberal arts experience (Amherst College) and about a state flagship research university (UMass). We saw halls that have housed presidents (Harvard) and a castle where sophomores live (Brandeis). All told, we saw eight schools in four days.

Our trip to Boston was the second of two

college tours sponsored by the College Counseling office this year. A week in June was spent bouncing from campus to campus all the way from D.C. to Tobacco Road. It’s true what they say: There is no substitute for seeing a campus in person. That trailblazing group saw 10 colleges in five days, from the truly urban (George Washington University) to the serenely suburban (University of Richmond and Duke). and from the charming small-town campus (Elon) to the Hogwarts-esque (Georgetown). On both tours, we partnered with students and chaperones from the Lovett School.

As we continue increasing the college advising resources at our students’ disposal, I am especially excited about these yearly college tours. While the specific locations and colleges are important, it’s the wide exposure that I find really valuable for students researching broad archetypes of universities.

Those students who loved Boston University better understand why they are drawn to urban campuses. Those who found the small-town charm of Amherst appealing are better able to guide the rest of their search based on that criteria.

As much fun as we’ve had on tour, our students have learned about themselves, about their preferences, and about where they feel comfortable. They will use that insight to hone in on a list of colleges that fit them. It’s an important bit of self-discovery and a critical step toward their journeys beyond Holy Innocents’.

Capturing Iceland

by Emily Ann Betts ‘16

T

his past summer, I didn’t vacation Emily Ann Betts in Iceland. on a beach or even somewhere warm. I vacationed on the edge of the Arctic Circle.

I traveled to Iceland with National Geographic Student Expeditions, with a focus on photography. Iceland has been gaining a lot of attention lately from photographers for its dramatic landscape, so I was ecstatic to have the chance to go there. I spent my first few days in Reykjavik, which I can finally spell correctly. The term hipster does not even begin to describe that city. I fell in love with the incredible street art that filled the walls, the beautiful Blue Lagoon, and all of the quirky locals.

However, nothing compares to Iceland’s wilderness.

I felt like I was on a different planet, and it still seems like a dream. I hiked under waterfalls, climbed a glacier, and repelled into an ice cave. I was constantly taking pictures, so much so that it was weird not carrying around my camera when I got home.

There were two National Geographic photographers on my trip who taught me new skills and helped me sort through photos. I was passionate about photography before going to Iceland, but now photography is a big part of my life.

The Teacher Becomes The Student Amie Muir teaches an AP Microeconomics class

I

t all started with Kendall Jackson, James Best, Grant Wilmer, Jack Hackett, Natalie Kessler, and Tiernan VanDyke. Ok, if I really want to admit my age, I could say it all started shortly before my high school graduation in 1999, when I aced my AP Calculus AB exam; as a History and French Literature double major, I wouldn’t have to take a single math class in college. It’s not that I didn’t like math; in fact, I loved it! However, courses like “Religion, Magic, and Science in Early Modern Europe” and “Women in French Film” seemed more

exciting. Fast forward to the 2012-13 school year, my first teaching AP Microeconomics.

As it turns out, AP Micro is, at times, more of an applied math course than a social science. To master the course, students need to be able to sketch graphs, manipulate formulas, and interpret data. Now, the majority of my students were enrolled in some level of Calculus (CP, AP Calc AB, or AP Calc BC), and Kendall and James were in Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra (the course that comes after AP Calculus BC). I found myself struggling to plan lessons that would, on one hand, challenge the most advanced students, while at the same time provide enough support I needed to be able to teach for all of them to have a the mathematical concepts good experience and feel in economics the way a math confident taking a college teacher would.” economics course (where it is

often referred to as “the dismal science,” though I like to subtitle it “Fun with Graphs!”).

Not having taken a math class for (insert uncomfortable cough noise) 13 years, I sometimes found myself at a loss to explain the mathematical reasoning behind the most challenging economic concepts. In a room full of incredibly inquisitive students, like Lindsey Klopfenstein or Tori Hovancik, I found myself turning to Kendall or James to “back me up” as I fumbled my way through an explanation.

I soon realized that for many of my students, I needed to be able to teach the mathematical concepts in economics the way a math teacher would in order for them to “really get it.” I wanted to use the same approaches and the same vocabulary as an expert math teacher, so I could not only teach “my” content, but also

reinforce what my colleagues in the math department were doing. I kept thinking, “What if I could tie what the kids are learning in math to what we are doing in AP Micro?”

The following year, when we opened up AP Microeconomics to juniors and seniors, I knew I would face an even wider range of math experience but I was determined to provide a wonderful course in which a student of any math background could succeed.

I wanted to be proactive, to “beef up” my own knowledge of math, plus observe best practices in how to teach it. Luckily, one of my best friends is my colleague and excellent math teacher, Mr. John Taylor.

And we discovered during preplanning that his section of AP Calculus BC had four students, each of whom also enrolled in one of my AP Microeconomics classes. So, in an expression of solidarity with Grant, Natalie, Jack, and Tiernan, I committed to taking AP Calculus BC for the entire year—homework, FRQs, quizzes, tests, and all!

I

was a pretty good student growing up. However, returning to a high-school classroom, with nightly homework and the anxiety I felt before an assessment were not my fondest memories. Of course, the year started with a quiz on the summer math packet, which I hadn’t done—so you can imagine how I did on that! But things got better, though I had completely forgotten my unit circle and had to make flash cards to review on a weekly basis, much to the amusement of my classmates. I also made myself vulnerable in front of my own students when I asked questions about something I didn’t understand, responded to questions (not always correctly), and cringed waiting for the results of a quiz or test. I participated in study groups before

the final and AP exams, and I even took a mock exam as my classmates took the real thing! We shared good times and stressful times, and we had a genuine relationship of collaboration as we took the journey together.

My significant other laughed at me each night when I did my little “victory” dance, verifying homework answers on Calc Chat. Other teachers cast glances as I rushed to class with my giant binder.

When I went for extra help on FRQs, or to review before a test, the students in Mr. Taylor and Mr. Frame’s tutorial were clearly confused as to why a history teacher needed to know how to do “ultraviolet voo-doo” (a super-nerdy calculus joke). Despite all of this, I was grateful for the opportunity to put myself in my students’ shoes. I learned more than most would ever care to know about derivatives and integrals, but I also learned so much about effective strategies to teach tough mathematical concepts. I couldn’t wait to use what I learned from Mr. Taylor in my own classes!

Most important, however, is that I remembered what it’s like to be a student, to have a million things going on while also trying to remember the formula for the volume of a sphere, so I can determine the rate at which the radius grows as it is filled with air for a question on a test.

As a teacher, I needed that reality check of how much our students do that is not related to school, because their parents, siblings, friends, bosses, teachers, classmates, and teammates expect the best from them all the time. I became more mindful of what I asked my students to do outside of class, and I thought about ways to maximize the time I had

with them to accomplish what we needed to do. I also became more sensitive to the anxiety that builds up before quizzes and tests, remembering my own fear that Mr. Taylor would think less of me if I messed up a question or two!

I firmly believe that being a student again transformed the way I teach. It was one of the most influential professional development experiences I have had and I would recommend that any teacher participate in a colleague’s class, if only for one unit of instruction. The bond you build with your “classmates” is even more valuable than the impact it may have on your teaching. Additionally, you get to show students that you are a lifelong learner, a characteristic we hope each HIES graduate embodies when she or he walks across the stage.

Thank you to Mr. Taylor for his willingness also to be vulnerable, and let another teacher witness every lesson. And thank you to all of the wonderful students I have been blessed to teach over the years—you have, each and every one, made me a better teacher and a better person!

homeWaRd Bound It’s not unusual for a school’s alumni to return to their alma mater to teach or serve on the administration. Particularly at independent schools, you often find four or five alumni on staff. But this school year finds 27 HIES faculty/staff members who also attended Holy Innocents’ as students, or roughly 10 percent of all employees.

The number of alumni faculty jumps to more than 60 when including those who, over the past 10 years or so, have retired, accepted leadership positions elsewhere, or left to raise children. In other words, as a school that is 56 years old—with only 21 classes of high school graduates—an average of more than one student per year has returned to work at HIES. So what is it about Holy Innocents’ that draws former students back to the fold? When asked, our current alumni faculty give a num-

They are involved in virtually every aspect of the school. And as Holy Innocents’ continues to grow, and expands the offerings available to students, they provide a vibrant and vital link to its past—a lifeline to the remarkable educators who gave HIES its character in the first place.

Much of what these alumni learned from their teachers endures, largely because they returned to campus. Today’s students don’t simply study English and math, play football and the violin; they receive the sum total of 56 years of Holy Innocents’—the caring, the encouragement, and the support that passes from one generation to the next.

Taking Care

“In Chris Durst’s AP U.S. History class, we would get so fired up, especially when Mr. Durst would play devil’s advocate, which he’s incredibly good at. But that class taught me so many things—to take intellectual risks, to question the status quo, to research sources and biases, to have facts to backup my opinions, and to always look at an issue from as many angles as I can. I was never afraid to say what I thought, even if it wasn’t going to be popular. It was a safe space to take risks.”

Rebecca Rivera ’01 US English Teacher

“My biggest fear was diagraming sentences, or pretty much anything to do with English. In Niki Simpson’s class, after much chalkboard practice and many late nights, I finally gained enough confidence to produce an essay, which came back bleeding with red ink. But her constant encouragement taught me to move through life’s battles with my head held high, knowing I will succeed.”

hat’s it like for veteran faculty members when their former students return as colleagues?

When asked, they all share a common refrain: “Very gratifying.”

It can take some getting used to, though.

“In my head, they’ll always be 18, which they were when I last saw them,” says MS Principal Theresa Jespersen, who taught history to many of the alumni on staff. “So a lot of them are still 18, even though they’re pushing 40 now.”

Then there’s the whole name thing.

“There are a few moments where it can be awkward,” says US English teacher Dr. Chris Swann. “I’ll say, ‘You can call me Chris now,” and they’re like, ‘No, I really can’t.’”

“The first of my students who came back was Dylan Deal

(‘97),” recalls Jespersen, “and I remember asking him, ‘Do you know my first name?’ And he was like, ‘umm, Missus…?’”

“They get over it,” US English teacher Niki Simpson says with a smile. “I think the most difficult thing for some of them is to disagree with me! It can take them a little longer to get comfortable with the switch from student to peer than it does for the teachers.”

Everyone agrees, however, that having alumni on staff brings enormous benefits.

“The truth is, they enrich the place,” says Jespersen.

“They make it infinitely better, because they bring back not only what they got, but what they wish they got. So we’re constantly improving in that way.”

US Principal Chris Durst agrees. “They love and appreciate

“Even in college and while employed by Fulton County, I would check the HI sports scores and keep up with some of my old teachers. Being back in these halls appealed to me because, just like I benefitted from so many inspiring educators back in the 90’s, I want to help students learn to love learning.”

the space here, so much so that they’re willing to devote their professional lives to it,” he explains. “And that says something significant to families looking at Holy Innocents’, especially when someone like Clay Kelsh or Sarah Townsend talks with them about the trajectory of the school. They love the school, but they love it even more now that they’re back. That’s a compelling statement about where the school is headed.”

There are times, however, when the situation can cause ambivalence. Durst mentions the hurdle of moving from one’s high school renown to that of a professional educator.

“Sometimes, the folks who’ve been here awhile will remember that person as who they were, and not as who they’ve become,” he says. “Dylan Deal, for instance, was an athlete— he was an intellectual, but he was also known as an athlete.

When he came back to Holy Innocents’, his identity was around baseball. I think he felt he had to go somewhere else

in order to reestablish his professional image.” (Two years ago, Deal accepted the position of Assistant Head of the Upper School at Bayside Academy, in Daphne, Ala.) “It also can be hard if they’re not prepared, or don’t realize, that it’s not going to be exactly like it was when they were here,” offers Swann. “We’ve grown. We have lots of different programs now. There aren’t many of the original teachers anymore. They’ve got to get comfortable with that pretty quickly.

“What Holy Innocents’ has become, with a well-established Upper School and all sorts of great programs, it’s much more competitive when there’s an opening,” Swann continues. “We get the top applicants now, lots of experience. Our alumni aren’t coming back because it’s safe. And they’re not getting hired because they’re alums. They’re great teachers.”

That’s understandable, since they learned from the best.

Athletic Squads Come up Golden in Fall Sports

by Dunn Neugebauer SPORTS INFORmATION DIRECTOR

T

he Holy Innocents’ fall athletic teams got the 2015-16 year off to a great start, as three of the four varsity teams earned playoff spots. To top it off, one varsity and one Middle School squad took home State Championships!

The moment of victory: State Champs for the third straight year! of AA competition, the future looks bright, as HI will graduate only three seniors.

Kate Chapman was once again a workhorse on the mound and was a major factor in the team’s success; Janie McCloskey was among the state’s best at the plate in batting .480.

Patterson Williams was a spark both at the plate and at shortstop, Elizabeth Williams was one of the team’s top fielders and Aubrey Pritchett showed perhaps the most improvement.

FooTBall: The wins didn’t come often for Coach Ryan Livezey and his Golden Bear football team, though HI did improve greatly during its 2015 rebuilding fall. Livezey’s team had a non-region 17-7 victory over George Walton Academy to go with a 6AA 28-7 rout over Kipp Academy.

The Bears got stellar play on both sides of the ball from Martin Williams, who was both the leading rusher and leading tackler. Newcomer Asher Spivey ended the

VolleyBall: Coach Taylor Noland’s squad continued to make history as the only Golden Bear team in any sport ever to win three consecutive state championships. This time around, Noland’s bunch won the area crown before knocking off Bremen, Coosa, St. Vincent’s, and Lovett to earn the Class AA title. If that wasn’t enough, HI lost only one set in the postseason during their crowning run!

Though all contributed, the Bears were led predominately by eight seniors—Haley Collins, Sarah Porter, Nicole Cohen, Joanna Wright, Kat Glover, Holly Barrett, Kathleen Ford and Helaina Theos. Porter and Collins were named Co-Players of the Year; Porter, Collins, and Cohen earned All-State honors.

Of the three state crowns, the last two have been in Class AA while the 2013 title came while competing in Class A.

season as a workhorse at running back, and other notables included punter Alfredo Granier, receiver/defender Jackson Miller, two-way player Max Walton, and linemen Alexander Bryant, Benjamin Maitski, Jay Rolader, and Hoyt Spearman.

cRoSS counTRy: The Running Bears continue to outdo themselves; the boys qualified for state for the fourth consecutive season, while the girls earned their third straight postseason trip. Bryn Foster and Ben Davies earned All-State

honors. At the area meet at Wesleyan in late October, coaches Stephen Jayaraj and Dunn Neugebauer came away with four All-Area runners, including Foster (5th overall), Ileana Zeissner (10th), Davies (5th) and James Devine (8th).

The girls finished third in region and fifth in state; the boys took fourth in region and fifth in state.

Besides the All-Region and State runners, Molly Niepoky and Emma Wearing showed perhaps the biggest improvement on the girls’ side, while Ben Keever and Travis Thurber were among the most improved boys.

mIddle School STReak: Coach Gary Klingman’s Middle School cross country runners came away with their sixth consecutive state championship in South Georgia in mid-October. Klingman had a lineup loaded with talent— Liam Hill, Aidan Zeissner, William Sirotkin, Heath Foster, Caroline Lyles, Hayden Puett, Eliza Harman and Jessica McNair were some of the many who excelled.

SoFTBall: The softball team once again had a great year; Coach Dan Healy’s team finished third in Region 6AA before advancing to state. Though HI lost in the opening round

Now Showing

At LeFont Theaters

The Upper School Film Fest is getting rave reviews.

L

ast April’s fourth annual Upper School Film Fest—held off-campus for the first time at the Lefont Sandy Springs theater—not only included red carpet interviews and a standing-room-only crowd, but it also displayed the remarkable progress the HIES film program has made in just a few short years.

Now housed in the STEM building’s media suite, with the Rosenberg Family Studio’s state-of-the-art equipment and editing bays, the film program has become one of the most popular and celebrated areas of HIES. Last spring’s film fest featured 10 student films, as well as a James Bond spoof produced by film and broadcast teachers James Jackson and Joe Conway.

“It’s been a long process to get where we are today,” Jackson says of the program, which began in 2012. “The talent and creativity has always been there, but over the years the technology and equipment at our disposal has really improved.” Another factor is the professional experience of the faculty; Jackson came to HIES after working as a video editor in Atlanta’s TV industry, while Conway is a celebrated Hollywood screenwriter with three feature films to his credit. “Now the students are using camera angles to capture different effects, and have a better understanding of what it means to tell a complete story,” adds Jackson.

The festival films are produced entirely by students; they handle the scripts, storyboards, budgets, casting, locations, and filming, either on location or in the studio. And though many students come into the program with an interest in film’s visual and technical aspects, they tend to have less of an understanding of the importance of writing scripts.

“The digital revolution has made equipment less expensive and iMovie is pretty amazing, so everybody

TorchBearer | Fall 2015

has access to all these tools,” explains Conway. “But you can have all the best tools and not be a great storyteller. That calls for a different kind of skill.

James and I try to get them to have more of a sense of story that compels people.”

One of the biggest motivators for Holy Innocents’ young filmmakers is the work of their classmates, as well as their predecessors. “They see what the other

kids are doing, and they watch the films at the festival, and that drives the class,” explains Jackson.

“That’s one big reason we’ve made such progress.”

That progress hasn’t gone unnoticed. Jackson and Conway received a number of congratulatory emails following last April’s event, including these from HIES parents: “Being relatively new to the school, we really didn’t know what to expect. I would have to say it was the single most impressive school event we have ever attended. All of the films had character and were impressive, each in their own way. We are fortunate to have you at HIES.” “Wow!!! The Film Festival was incredible. My sister was in town on Monday so my parents, sister, and a family friend joined us for the viewing. We were so impressed!!! The films were fantastic, so professional. I know countless hours of instruction and support from the two of you is

what made those films so special.”

“Last year was my first time attending the film festival. I thought it was wonderful in the FAB and a great evening.

This year it was even more fabulous at the Lefont. What a great job you all have done! The work of these students was truly impressive. This program is a great opportunity for our students. Wonderful evening.”

Mark you calendars now for the 2016 Upper School Film Fest, scheduled for Monday, April 25, at 7 p.m., again in the Lefont Theaters. And, once again, this entertaining evening will be free and open to the Holy Innocents’ community and the public.

Sweet Summer Sixteen

by Christine Brodnan site Director, horizons AtlAntA

T

he Horizons program celebrated its 16th summer at Holy Innocents’ by serving 120 economically disadvantaged local public school students. Horizons is part of a national network of programs located on independent school and college campuses—one of seven local and 45 national sites. Horizons at HIES is designed to fuel a life-long passion for learning, blending high-quality academics with cultural enrichment and confidence-building activities like swimming, the arts, and sports.

Head of School Paul Barton believes hosting the Horizons program at HIES fits squarely into the Episcopal mission of the school. “We are a private school with a deep understanding of our public purpose—to offer access and opportunity to a diverse and inclusive community of learners beyond our campus. We are very proud to partner with such an established and successful program that benefits kids throughout Metro Atlanta,” says Barton.

More than 40 Upper School students served as classroom and swim volunteers throughout the six-week program, earning a cumulative 2,283 service hours. The Horizons students looked up to the volunteers as role models and the teachers valued their support and assistance. Volunteers also gained an opportunity to give back right on their own campus. As sophomore Saffy Bashey says, “Not only the children benefit from the program, but also the volunteers. I learned a lot about our community and was inspired by the children’s spirit. I think it’s great that Holy Innocents’ hosts Horizons, because it really helps the children academically.”

Volunteers formed a tight bond with the Horizons students, says HIES parent Susan Hannan. “Horizons was a great experience for my daughter in so many ways,” she says. “Emily was scheduled to participate in the first session,

TorchBearer | Fall 2015

but she loved it so much, she continued the rest of the summer. She had to leave early or come late a few times because of commitments and she hated to miss a minute!

She became very close with the children, and learning about their circumstances gave her a new appreciation for the diversity within Atlanta.”

Swimming is a major component of the Horizons program and most of the students arrive with little or no ability. Over the summer, all of the students advanced at least one swim level, thanks in large part to the HIES volunteers who accompanied them to the Chastain Park pool four days a week.

“The highlight of my summer was seeing how happy the kids were while they were swimming,” says junior Eric Wood. Chyanne Thompson-Quartey, an HIES senior, explains, “When I first brought my kindergarteners into the pool, they’d wrap their arms around my neck and beg me not to let them go. By the third week, they were asking me to let them swim with the more advanced kids.”

Overcoming this fear and learning to trust themselves builds self-esteem that spills over into the classroom and teaches students a life-saving skill many low-income children never acquire.

A phenomenon that significantly impacts economically disadvantaged students is summer learning loss; typically, these students lose the equivalent of three months of school. Horizons at HIES mitigates this “summer slide” and reverses the trend, with students actually gaining 2.9 months of learning in just six weeks, according to the 2015 STAR Reading assessment.

Senior Emma White loved observing the students grow academically, and notes, “Seeing the improvements they made was the highlight of my summer, and most certainly theirs as well. I, myself, have struggled with academics just like these kids, and I know how amazing it feels to reach goals you never thought were possible. Without Horizons, they may have never experienced that.”

To learn more about Horizons at HIES, contact Christine Brodnan at: christine.brodnan@hies.org.

“

I think Holy Innocents’ has so many resources that we students take for granted, and it’s awesome to share our facilities with the amazing kids from the local public schools!”

When In Rome

Learning to Write a Picture

by Heidi Domescik

by Eileen Thurmond

In my AP Art HIstory syllAbus, I list nine basic course objectives, of which serendipity is the last: “Students will be encouraged to be a traveler who seeks the intellectual and emotional joys of aesthetic experiences.”

Thanks to the generous funding of the Greenbaum Grant, I was able to model this behavior for my students by participating in John Cabot University’s Advanced Placement Summer Institute in Art History at their campus in Rome, Italy, this past July.

I had not traveled to Europe since college and had never been to Rome, so the chance to explore the art and architecture of the city’s world-class museums, monuments, churches, and archaeological sites with JCU Art history faculty, fellow teachers, and private tour guides was truly transformative. Our days began early with trips to major sites like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Vatican, and the new MAXXI Museum. But we also were able to experience lesser known gems, such as finding Caravaggio’s powerful Crucifixion of St. Peter in the tiny Cerasi Chapel, or standing beneath the explosively baroque ceiling fresco by GB Gaulli in Il Ges`u.

Having received my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Art History, my knowledge of these works has been based on research and reproduction, so I was truly unprepared for the sensory and emotional connection one experiences when face to face with the work of the Italian masters. It is one thing to teach from an intellectual understanding of Christian catacombs, but something wholly different to describe to students the feeling of having walked through one.

I am beginning my third year teaching AP Art History and my 10th year at Holy Innocents’. Teaching AP has been the most challenging and rewarding part of my job at HIES. The time spent in Rome photographing monuments, paintings, and sculptures from every angle, the ongoing connections and resource sharing with fellow participants, and the chance to be a student again are gifts that will invigorate my teaching and make my lectures rich with meaning.

tHe GreenbAum FAmIly GrAnt was established “to promote teaching excellence by providing teachers with resources to undertake special enrichment activities.” The opportunity it provides is at the heart of Holy Innocents’ mission and philosophy, an opportunity that fosters lifelong learning for teachers. As an English teacher, I have always been aware of the close relationship between writing and painting. Both involve observing a scene and reproducing exactly what one is seeing. Careful observation techniques are important requisites for both artistic endeavors, and other commonalities exist between producing a painting that tells a story and producing a piece of writing that creates a mental image in the reader. The Greenbaum Family Grant allowed me to attend a plein-air painting workshop this summer in LaHave, Nova Scotia, where I learned that painting outdoors from real life is unlike any other painting experience. The environment engages the senses to focus on the essence of what is before you.

Looking at what one sees and trying to make others “see it” forms the basis of metaphor. I want to guide student writers toward improving their observation skills and refining their writing skills, specifically with regard to effective word choice and use of metaphor. I want to encourage my eighth-grade students to write from real life, allowing them to move outside the classroom to hone their observation skills and use words to create a picture. This approach, I believe, will allow students the freedom to see ordinary objects or situations in a fresher, more imaginative way. Painter Richard Schmid writes in Alla Prima, “If we stubbornly pursue excellence in our perceptions and skills, we can offer paintings that nourish the human spirit rather than mock it…” The same principle applies to writing.

Involvement in this workshop was a valuable experience on many levels. Being in an art class as a fairly novice painter reminded me that a student in any class involving a creative process, rather than the acquisition of information or a mathematical process, may feel unsure of his or her level of competence.

As teachers, we must work to encourage our students as well as to challenge them.

On Twain’sTrail

Donor Reception and Ribbon Cutting

by George Bevington

WItH GreAt APPrecIAtIon and much thanks to the Greenbaum Grant, I had the opportunity last summer to attend the 2015 Clemens Conference, in Hannibal, MO. Samuel Langhorn Clemens was the real name of Mark Twain, the nom de plume of America’s greatest writer, and Hannibal is Twain’s childhood hometown, the site where many of his most famous characters resided along with him.

I flew into St. Louis, where I spent 24 hours sight-seeing and meeting many St. Louis Cardinals fans, who clearly exude a dedicated passion for their team (many of them know the stats of the opposing team’s pitcher). After a trip up the 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch, I took in the eagle-eye view of Busch Stadium to the east and the Mississippi to the west. The elevators, with airconditioning, can hold up to five people quite comfortably, and are not unlike riding in a London taxi’s backseat.

Later that day, a scenic drive up I-64 West led to Hannibal, where I checked in to Hannibal-LaGrange College, near the banks of the Mississippi. On our first night, the group met Hannibal’s 2015 Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher, two rising eighthgraders who won the honor after a comprehensive application, interview, and trial-like process to represent Hannibal as Mark Twain’s ambassadors for the next 12 months.

Sight-seeing in Hannibal is a quick way to transport one’s self back in time, with visits to Lovers’ Leap, a scenic crag overlooking the Mississippi, Twain’s childhood home at #206 North Main Street, Becky Thatcher’s house—Tom Sawyer’s girlfriend—caddycorner, the Clemens family plot in Mount Olivet Cemetery (Twain himself rests in Elmira, NY), and the conspicuous grave of Injun Joe, a prosperous resident of Hannibal who lived to the age of 102. Although Twain was born in the village of Florida, he moved to Hannibal with his family when he was 4 years old, and spent at least half of his formative years there, leaving home to become an apprentice print-setter at age 17.

The Clemens Conference attracted speakers from all over the world. The professor responsible for translating the first two volumes of Twain’s massive autobiography—a third volume is in the works—into Japanese, Dr. Ryo Wiguri, gave an excellent presentation on self-identity in Pudd’nhead Wilson. Other talks included the role of duality and spiritualism in 19th-century America, connections between the Haymarket Affair in Chicago TorchBearer | Fall 2015

Top: In Florida, MO, at Twain’s birthplace Left: With Tom and Becky at the Twain Museum

and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and the interesting rivalry between Ambrose Bierce and Mark Twain. My paper investigated Twain’s mourning his daughter Susie, who died from meningitis while he was writing his novel Following the Equator.

To complete a true Twain pilgrimage, a traveler must include the village of Florida, along with stops in Hannibal and a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi to cover all the bases. The cabin of Twain’s birth in Florida sits within a museum (which Floridians have designated a “shrine”) that was built around the cabin in 1959. The village is a 90-minute drive from Hannibal on country roads and through Mayberry-esque towns. The house that most people know as “The Twain House,” the location of much of Twain’s childhood, is in Hannibal, across the street from Becky Thatcher’s house (based on Twain’s classmate, Laura Hawkins), which is up the street from Grant’s Drug Store, where Twain’s father worked to supplement his income as justice of the peace.

Travelers can find a cool respite from Missouri’s oppressive summer heat at the “Mark Twain Cave,” discovered in 1821 and a refreshing 52 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Laced with a series of byzantine tunnels covering some 600 miles, the cave is the site of Tom Sawyer’s date with Becky Thatcher, and later, the death of Injun Joe. Our trip concluded with a scenic cruise down the Mississippi River, a scrumptious buffet dinner, live music by a band uniquely named “The Serenaders,” cigar-smoking from purist Twainians, and friendly “good-byes” from friends who know that they will meet again. Any time a person can visit and walk through the same halls and streets as such a prolific and revered author as Mark Twain, the experience will provide a revitalized boost to the subject matter in the classroom. Almost nothing can top an eyewitness account, and with Twain, there is no statute of limitations on his relevance.

A Chance for HIES to Rise to #1 in Georgia Tax Credit Financial Aid

A

fter five years of HIES’ participation, it still sounds too good to be true—Georgia allows you to redirect your tax payment to Holy Innocents’.

This costs you nothing! It is a free, easy way to support the HIES financial aid program. Your taxes will give deserving students the opportunity to join the HIES community.

This year we had 50 scholarship recipients from this source of financial aid. These students met all of HIES’ Admissions requirements before being admitted and before being offered Tax Credit financial aid. Participating families must be able to fund a portion of their tuition as there is a cap of $8,966 on the amount of tax funds a student can receive each year. Remaining funds are kept in an endowment for future years’ use for approved students.

The 2016 Georgia Tax Credit Scholarship Program began in August 2015 and will end on January 4, 2016 when all the PreApply applications are downloaded by Apogee into the Georgia Department of Revenue database. Holy Innocents’ is working to have a record year despite the looming expectation that

all application amounts will be prorated. Last year the State accepted only 63.4% of all pre-apply amounts; this coming year it is feared the acceptance rate will be lower.

Strong participation by partnerships, LLCs and S-Corps has led the way in giving. Support came from parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, corporations, partnerships, and friends. If you have not yet pre-applied, consider going to www.apogee123.org and signing up for 2016. Help us move up from #6 in the State to #1 in Georgia Tax Credit Financial Aid. Thank you to everyone who took advantage of this simple and convenient way to redirect their taxes in 2016 and to support HIES financial aid. These Apogee tax credit funds free up other dollars for current financial aid students, faculty children, and new financial aid requests.

Everyone wins!

If You Can Make Only One Gift To The School, Please Make It A Gift To The Annual Fund

E

ach and every year, the Annual Fund provides money to pay for things that tuition alone cannot, helping to make possible a full array of academic programs, enhanced security, technology for classrooms, and much more. Tuition covers 86-88% of the cost of educating a child at Holy Innocents’ and the Annual Fund helps with the rest. Every HIES student benefits from the Annual Fund!

This year, our goals are $1.1M and parent participation of 100%.

Already, 100% of our faculty and staff have given, as have 100% of our trustees. Now we turn to parents. Last year, parent participation in the Annual Fund was 91%, and we would love to do even better

this year. Some families can give a lot and some can give a little, but every gift counts toward participation. The closer we come to 100%, the more likely we are to garner foundation support!

We are very grateful to this year’s Annual Fund Co-Chairs, Elizabeth and Andy Ausband (Upper and Middle Schools) and Caroline and David Millican (Lower and Primary Schools), who are leading a hard-working

group of volunteers. Calling is under way and, once you pledge, we will put you on the popular Annual Fund “Do

Not Call” list. The campaign runs through June 30th, so you can pledge now and pay later.

Corporate Matching Gifts Did you know

that Holy Innocents’ receives more than $65,000

each year from generous corporations that match their employees’ gifts to the Annual Fund? Please check with your employer to see if it offers a match. A little bit of paperwork can give your gift a big boost! Corporate matching gifts count toward membership in the Leadership Circle, which offers invitations to special events during the year.

The leadership circle is made up of those who give $1,959 or more to the Annual Fund during one fiscal year. HIES is very grateful for their generous support!

What an Endowment Offers to Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School AN ENDOWMENT is composed of assets that are invested in perpetuity. Unlike Annual Fund proceeds, which are spent on immediate needs, or capital campaign monies, which are spent on new land or facilities, an endowment’s principal is not spent. Instead, only a portion of its earnings are used each year.

Even in times of economic uncertainty, an endowment provides a measure of stability, while relieving pressure on the Annual Fund. It allows for program expansion, and helps attract and retain excellent faculty. It helps moderate tuition increases while supporting increased financial aid for families, including those of our faculty and staff. In a landscape in which traditional funding sources are uncertain and operational costs for the school are increasing, an endowment is an essential bedrock of support that keeps the school strong for future generations of students.

Currently, Holy Innocents’ endowment is well below that recommended by the National Association of Independent Schools. To date, Holy Innocents’ has enjoyed success thanks to its leadership, talented faculty, and devoted families, but a strong endowment would enable the school to join the ranks of the most successful schools in America.

What an Endowment Offers to You For our families and friends, contributing to Holy Innocents’

endowment is an opportunity to support the mission of the school well into the future.

It can be a way to create a permanent, named tribute to a family, student, or faculty member, while supporting the school’s overall stability. It can also serve as an opportunity to invest in a special program or field of study.

Annual Report HORIZONS ATLANTA Horizons Atlanta at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School believes that every child, regardless of background, should have the same chance at making a positive impact on his or her community.

Our six-week academic enrichment program housed in the HIES Lower School provides this opportunity to economically disadvantaged local public school students by eliminating critical barriers to success. Horizons students are challenged academically, socially, and physically through our Global Academy, a blend of project-based and service learning activities teaching each child how to be a productive global citizen.

Last year, Horizons secured funding from local foundations, individuals, corporations, and community organizations. We are grateful to the Lower School for raising $6,800 through Lent Madness in March 2015. In May, 2015, Horizons at HIES participated in Horizons Giving Day, a national effort to raise funds and awareness of the program. We met our site’s goal of $25,000, thanks to many individual donations from the HIES community. The funds raised contribute to our operations and programming, including our highly qualified staff, transportation, meals, field trips, and supplies.

The program would not be possible without the support of the Holy Innocents’ community. Horizons would like to thank all of our volunteers, donors, and board members for their time, talents, and generous resources.
