At Episcopal, we are all in. If you are receiving this report, you know.

On campus, year after year, adults and students go all in, giving themselves over to an undeniably exhilarating rhythm of work, play, competition, and “life” together. Off campus, alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of the School engage with each other, respond enthusiastically to opportunities to connect with students and fill crucial volunteer roles, share their school pride, and make Episcopal a philanthropic priority, thereby making all that happens on campus possible.

Indeed, the philanthropic commitment of our alumni, families, and dear friends is simply remarkable. Our students are the direct beneficiaries of our community’s generosity, as our adults are able to dream big and deliver our mission, day in and day out, in new and innovative ways.

This year, our community came together to contribute over $3.56 million to the Roll Call, providing 9% of the School’s operating revenue and $7,685 per student. This would not have been possible without each of the more than 2,741 gifts received this year and the tremendous efforts of our many volunteers.

In addition to the Roll Call’s success, the Episcopal family’s remarkable generosity and enthusiasm for the priorities of COURAGE: the Campaign for Episcopal resulted in just under $12 million in new gifts and commitments, for a total of $15.5 million in contributions this year and bringing overall campaign commitments to just over $133 million. Our community’s response to this Campaign’s call to action has been astounding, and already, every aspect of the student experience on The Holy Hill has been strengthened as a result.

Friends, the Courage Campaign’s historic $150 million comprehensive goal is within reach, and it is with profound gratitude that we will continue our work together to complete this incredible effort and bring all of the priorities of the Campaign to life for our students today and for generations to come.

On behalf of all of us at 1200 N. Quaker Lane, who continually strive to advance our mission to prepare our students to be courageous forces for good in the world, thank you for your generosity and for being “all in” with us and for our students. It is truly a joy and a privilege to be part of the EHS family and to share in the bond and commitment that strengthen our School with each passing day.
