EHS Launches Capital Campaign
The Board of Trustees announces The Promise, a campaign for Episcopal High School.
November 13, 2009
For generations, dedicated and generous members of the Episcopal High School family have fulfilled a promise to advance this remarkable institution to where it is today.
Today, Episcopal students thrive in classrooms, on playing fields, in Chapel, and on dorm. Today, alumni reflect that their very character, their qualities of integrity, honor, and trust, were nurtured and honed during their years at EHS. Today, we strive to deliver these indelible standards in all aspects of school life, so that tomorrow’s alumni, too, have the strength and comfort that such a firm foundation provides.
At this time in the life of Episcopal, we find ourselves with an opportunity to advance what is essential to that foundation. And that opportunity is remarkably within reach.
It is with great confidence that we launch The Promise, a campaign that aspires to strengthen and secure program elements that are at the very core of the Episcopal experience. In the early phases of the campaign, the extraordinary generosity of members of the EHS community enabled us to move forward with critical campaign projects, while holding off on this launch as we all grappled with the economic uncertainties of the past year. Now, with over $52 million in hand and projects well underway, we invite all alumni, parents, and friends to help Episcopal fulfill The Promise and be part of the great tradition of stewardship which has enabled this institution to pursue excellence in all areas of program and campus life for generations.
