Molly Williams Pugh

Molly just completed her 25th year of full-time classroom teaching. She has taught at The Taft School, Charlotte Country Day School, and the Chinese International School in Hong Kong. In her work with schools, she has facilitated numerous DEI workshops and courses, coached several sports, and advised a variety of student and faculty groups from literary clubs to sustainability efforts to cultural awareness pursuits. 

At Episcopal, Molly is the Chair of the English Department, a position that generates many opportunities for conversation and learning. She’s grateful for those opportunities, as well as for her time working with students in the classroom - her favorite role! She currently teaches 9th grade and three electives: American Protest Literature, Victorian Literature, and Writing Short Stories about Climate Change. Serving in the Office of Community and Equity engenders opportunities for her to work closely with colleagues by facilitating professional development and diversity and equity literacy. She is also a member of the Anderson dorm team and an advisor to an amazing group of 10-12th grade students. 

For 15 years, Molly, her partner, and their two children have called EHS home. As a family, they love to bike, hike and explore in the DMV, see plays and live music, and work for climate justice in Alexandria and the surrounding region. They can often be found on evening family walks around campus or reading on their back porch.
