Our All-School Summer Read

This summer the EHS community will read, A Dream Worth Fighting For, a biography by alumnus Tim Hightower '04. 

Mr. Hightower is a proud family man, a former NFL football player, and current executive with the Washington Commanders.  His biography is a thoughtful, insightful, and measured reflection about his lived experiences.  Many of the questions he wrestles with (prioritization of sometimes conflicting goals, identity, working in a wide range of environments etc.) are questions raised by many students and faculty in the EHS community.  This is an accessible and inspirational read.

Mr. Hightower will be providing the keynote talk on our first MRC Day of the fall, Monday September 15. Other accomplished EHS graduates will join us on that Monday as we think about our prioritized 2025-26 Portrait of a Graduate Quality — Commits to Ambitious Goals. 

Founded in 2008, the Seminary Hill Cup (SHC) is an annual match-up between rivals EHS and St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (SSSAS) girls’ athletics, with athletes on the varsity and junior varsity teams competing to claim the cup. Come enjoy this spirited weekend of contests and cheer on The Maroon!

Family Weekends are designed to give EHS parents and guardians chances to see their students compete and perform, meet with faculty members, hear from Grade Deans and outside speakers, and connect with fellow EHS families. Each fall we host Friday Night Lights with a spirited varsity girls’ and boys’ game played in Hummel Bowl.

Celebrating one of the nation's oldest-running high school rivalries, Spirit Weekend is always held on the second weekend in November with the home field changing between EHS and Woodberry Forest each year. This year, The 124th Game will be held at Woodberry in Orange, Va. More information coming this fall.
