Biography:
 As Director of the Office of Community & Equity, Louis serves in a senior administrative capacity, working to develop, implement, and update the School's strategic approaches for building community and ensuring access. In his teaching capacity, Louis teaches one upper-level English course per semester. He also coaches indoor track and is a dorm parent in the "Freshman Village" that comprises our two 9th grade dorms.

After college, Louis taught English and Art at The Brooks School in North Andover, Mass., attended law school, clerked for a federal judge in D.C., and practiced as a litigator for several years. His love of teaching drew him back to the classroom, first at D.C.'s Sidwell Friends School and ultimately here, at the "24/7" community of Episcopal.

Louis loves playing and listening to music, exploring the outdoors, indulging in a thought-provoking read, making things, and writing.
