In Honor ofThe Class of 2013

On June 1, friends, families, and the EHS community gathered on Hoxton Circle for the 168th Commencement Exercises to

celebrate the Class of 2013 and their accomplishments.In his Commencement remarks, Headmaster Rob Hershey recog-

nized the senior class for their accomplishments. The Class of 2013 completed 516 Advanced Placement courses this year, and 65 percent of the class achieved High List status. The class submitted 560 college applications to 167 different colleges in 31 states, D.C., and several foreign countries. A record 87 percent of the Class of 2013 will attend their first- or second-choice college. Twenty-six members of the class will attend college on merit scholarships. Hershey remarked it was the first time during his 15 years at EHS that a class achieved the “trifecta” of receiving three of the most distinguished merit schol-arships: the Jefferson Scholarship at the University of Virginia, the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at the University of North Carolina, and the Robertson Scholarship at Duke University.

Hershey emphasized that the class was not so busy building resumes that they failed to recognize the larger world and others around them. Forty-nine seniors in this class were involved in community service, and 22 members of this class have, at some time during their EHS tenure, traveled on mission trips to Haiti, Kenya, or the Dominican Republic. This year the Service Council met its ambitious goal of raising over $15,000 for Episcopal’s partner school in Haiti toward construction of a school, an accomplishment attributed to the leadership of this class and the support of many in the EHS community.

Headmaster Hershey recognized the class for their athletic accom-plishments as well. During the seniors’ time on the Hill, the School celebrated four state and eight league championships. The golf team won four successive Alexandria City Prep golf titles, and this year’s crew team attained its highest competitive mark by qualifying for nationals. Seventy members of this class competed athletically during their senior year, with the majority participating in two athletic seasons. Seventeen members of this class were honored by All-State or All-League selections, and 13 graduates will compete athletically next year at the intercollegiate level.

Members of the Class of 2013 were also very involved in the arts programs. “Nine members of this class participated in choral music, and 16 members of the senior class led the way for a very lively year for our a cappella groups. Twelve members participated in school theater productions, and 25 students were involved in Advanced Placement study in the arts. Twelve seniors provided leadership for the school newspaper, The Chronicle. Daemon, the School’s arts and literary magazine, was once again recognized among the top five high school literary magazines in the state of Virginia. Five senior editors directed the creation of the yearbook, ‘Whispers.’ ”

Headmaster Hershey concluded by saying, “I hope that you have learned at EHS that it is okay, even likely, that if you set high goals, you will occasionally stumble, and that the maturity you have


developed will enable you to summon your reserve of resilience with the full understanding that each hurdle you clear will make even greater the joy of accomplishment. Class of 2013, the diploma you will soon receive expresses the confidence of the faculty in you and our expression of hope for your future. Quoting your classmate from last week’s ‘God Bless The High School’ Chapel, ‘Today is not goodbye; it’s see you later.’”

The weekend began with Baccalaureate on May 31. The Rev. Gideon Pollach shared with the Class of 2013 that at this intersection of their lives, those who have been supporting them along the way are now waiting to see what is next for them.

“We wait expectantly for you to do something new,” Rev. Pollach said. “Something novel and great. Something that is worthy of all the preparation that this School and your parents have accomplished with you. This is a celebration of commencement, not a celebration of completion. It is a moment to look forward, not just to look back. It is the time to think together of what is next, not what has passed. Because, you see, you are our hope. Not just our beloved graduates, you are our embodied hope representing all the possibility and all of the dreams of those of us who have prepared you.”

During the service, he shared meaningful anecdotes, emphasizing the sacrifices of the families of the graduates and the abundant love that surrounds them. At the conclusion, Rev. Pollach left the commu-nity with these final words, “The parent’s hope is the work of the child. Our hope is your work. God’s adjacent possible future waits to be born in you. You are ready. The time is now. You are the product of our great hope. So, our last request of you: explore the boundaries of the adjacent possible and get after it. The world needs you as an agent of God’s improbable future to help create a world of loving action and service where all can be fed, all can be protected, nature itself can be healed, and hope restored. Like Mary, the mother of our Lord, God’s great dream can be born in us if we assent to being God’s partner. So may it be for you.”

Students were honored later in the evening at the Valedictory Program, where they received awards celebrating their academic, artistic, and athletic accomplishments. Ali Alford ’13 was elected valedictorian by her class, and in her remarks, reflected on their time on the Hill, sharing memories of mishaps and accomplishments, and highlighting the relationships that supported them throughout their time at The High School.

“Tomorrow we will join the ranks of Episcopal alumni,” said Alford, “and I have heard alumni say time and time again that what they cherish the most are the relationships they formed and the mentors they found throughout their time here. I’ve found this to be very much the case throughout our tenure. While many people say that they go to boarding school to gain more independence, this is far from the reality of what we experience here, as it insinuates that we function on our own. Instead, we were never without support and never had to face life here alone. In good times and bad, our parents have remained constant guiding forces in our lives, even from afar, and we have been surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about us, who advocate for us, and who not only promote our success but share in it – and with this continued help, we certainly found our fair share of success.”

Valedictorian Ali Alford ’13 said, “For most of us, this will be the biggest change in our lives since we left home four years ago and entered EHS life. Just as quickly as we adjusted to Episcopal’s routine and idiosyncrasies as new students, we will leave it all behind. We will lose the comfort and familiarity of that which we know and enter into the world beyond the Episcopal bubble, with slightly more freedom and much more uncertainty. But the experiences we shared here and the ways in which this School, its community, faculty, and students have shaped us, have more than prepared us for what lies ahead.”

During the weekend, Ali Alford ’13 was awarded the Ainslie Family Award to the Chair of the Honor Committee, the Evelyn Pretlow Rutledge Award for Excellence in Science, the Archibald Eubank Sutton, Jr. Memorial Medal to the Valedictorian, the Meade Prize for the Highest Level of Academic Excellence, and the Robert Wiatt Farrar Commitment to Athletics Award.

In April, the Episcopal High School chapter of the Cum Laude Society added 22 new members to its ranks. These juniors

and seniors were selected by the Society’s current members and the chairs of Episcopal’s academic departments based upon their academic achievements and strength of character. The induction was followed by remarks from this year’s keynote speaker, Dr. Tracy Fitzsimmons, president of Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va.

Founded in 1906 and modeled after Phi Beta Kappa, the Cum Laude Society honors the scholastic achievement of students in secondary schools.

German Students Inducted into National Honor Society

This year, six EHS students were inducted into the Delta Epsilon Phi National German Honor Society for high school students of

German. Students must have completed three semesters of German and maintained a grade point average of 3.6 in their German classes (3.0 for their general grade point average) during those three semesters to be eligible for membership.

Latin, Greek, and Classics Students Win State and National Awards

This was a successful year for Episcopal’s Latin, Greek, and classics students, who excelled in state and national competitions this

spring. A record 25 students earned various awards in Latin and Greek exams this year.

The National Latin Exam, which tests students at seven different levels in the language, was administered this year in all 50 states and 15 countries to over 154,000 students.

For the National Greek Exam, in which students from 155 high schools and colleges all over the country compete, EHS also had great success. This year, Reynolds Griffith ’15 and Aidan Cron ’15 won awards for their excellent work on the exam, even though both of them started Greek a full semester late, scrambling to learn five month’s Greek in time for the exam in February. In that same class, Eunice Mok ’13 won an award of high honor, and Allegra Geanuracos ’15 won the same award in her second year of Greek as a sophomore.

Jenny Mok ’14 was awarded a special classics book prize from Randolph College for her extraordinary work in Latin this year.

AthleticsIn Review

The Class of 2013 supported, cheered, and compet-ed during a very successful period in EHS athletics.

They had the benefit of spending most of their years in the new Athletics Center and the renovated Goodman Squash Center and Flippin Fieldhouse, which houses Cathcart Track. Twenty members of this year’s senior class participated in athletics in every season during their time on the Hill. These student-athletes were recognized for this commitment to athletics with the prestigious Robert Wiatt Farrar Award presented during Commencement Weekend.

This class witnessed and contributed to four state championships and eight league titles over the past four years, including the City Prep Golf Championships four years in a row. Thirteen members of the senior class will continue to compete at the college level. A remarkable 49 All-State and All-League honors over the past four years can be attributed to the student-athletes of the Class of 2013.

Spring sports at Episcopal enjoyed successes and positive indications for the future. The crew team had a milestone season. After placing well at the Virginia State Championships and Stotesbury Regatta, they secured a bid to compete at the National Rowing Championships (SRAA) in late May, placing ninth and securing one of the top results in the program’s history. Episcopal’s golf team brought home the Alexandria Prep School Golf Tournament title for the fourth year in a row, and the junior varsity golf team won the Woodberry Forest Golf Tournament. The girls’ track & field team had one of the strongest showings at the Virginia State Championships with a new school record in the 4 x 400-meter relay and nine All-State performances. The softball team had some new young talent and finished the year on a high note with a runner-up finish in the Independent School League (ISL) Tournament.

Four Faculty MembersRetire from The High School

The exceptional faculty who devote their lives to the spiritual, personal, and educational development of Episcopal students are invaluable. Their selfless dedication of time, energy, and resources ensure that the students who pass through the gates

on the Hill will leave prepared to face a challenging world, for these faculty will have spent the time getting to know each one of the students, cheered for them on the fields, applauded them in the arts center, and worked with them tirelessly in the classrooms until they were prepared for the next level. It is always bittersweet to bid farewell to members of this elite group of individuals. No matter where they go from here, the legacies they leave behind will be rich and eternal, and students for generations will remember the mark that was left on them by the faculty who guided them through their years at The High School.

David and Karen Hathaway

David Hathaway, director of tech-nology and chair of the Computer Studies Department, will conclude his 27-year tenure at Episcopal High School this summer. He was recruited in 1986 by Headmaster Sandy Ainslie ’56, after teaching for 16 years at the West Lafayette High School in Indiana. He entered the world of boarding school education and “stew-arded the School through the rapidly transforming world of computers and technology, from our infant years of ‘basic and logo,’ to today’s issues of routers, firewalls, Internet, and social media,” said Headmaster Rob Hershey.

Hathaway fondly remembered the transition of the School to coeducation in the early ’90s. “What made the move go as smoothly as possible were the women who were added to the faculty and the collective strength of the first 48 girls,” he said. “They were a remarkable group of young women.”

“Mr. Hathaway was a great advisor,” said Angie Phillips ’11. “He was always willing to talk to us about whatever we needed, and he made the advisory feel like a family. Even

though he had work to do, he came to many of my basketball games and tennis matches, as well as other athletic competitions that his advisees partic-ipated in. We all knew how much he cared about us, and he will certainly be missed at EHS.”

Karen Hathaway has served as Episcopal’s registrar for the last almost 12 years, managing a busy and demanding office where she regularly interfaces with students, faculty, and parents.

“Karen is the person who has kept our academic machine running smoothly for the past 12 years,” said Assistant Head for Academics Mary Fielder. “Not only does she have a macro understanding of the rhythms of the year, but she is also the fount of an incredible amount of detailed informa-tion necessary to address anything that comes through the office. She prob-lem-solves and troubleshoots and hits all of her marks with a delightful sense of humor and an infectious smile.”

Karen Hathaway served as the School’s registrar for almost 12 years.

Bob Eckert

For 21 years, Bob Eckert has been an instrumental part of the operations and growth of EHS, providing leadership for the Development, Alumni and Parent Programs, and Communications Offices. Trained as a musician, Bob served as the chair of the music depart-ment at Rhodes College before tran-sitioning into development at Rhodes and Transylvania University.

“He has truly conducted the many development efforts in an effective and harmonious way,” said Headmaster Rob Hershey, “leading four campaigns that resulted in raising over $200 million in capital and endowment funds in support of the School.”

“I have never been able to under-stand the connection or correlations between being a college music professor and being a director of development,”

said George Logan ’63. “When he was considering the position at EHS, Bob thought there was some ‘orchestration’ involved. He thought he could orches-trate a group of alumni, and he did.”

Logan, a longtime supporter of the School and the chairman of the Board of Trustees for nine years, considers Bob one of his closest friends. “He connects with people,” he said. “He is also one of my best friends, which is a dangerous thing to your personal assets… being best friends with a director of development.”

Logan remembers fondly one visit to campus, when Bob invited him to his home. Logan arrived and was treated to a duet by Eckert’s two daughters, one on the piano, the other playing the violin. “It was so incredibly done, I’ve never gotten over it. Ever since then, I have never said no to Bob Eckert. He is somebody so special; his family is so

special. He knew how much I loved music, and, well, I was easy pickings from then out.

“He has meant as much to me as anybody at Episcopal High School. He has devoted the best part of his work in his life to the School.”

George Logan ’63 and Director of Development Bob Eckert during Reunion Weekend 2013.

Jackie Maher

In her 21 years on the Hill, Jackie Maher has served as a chemistry and physics teacher, chair of the Science Department, assistant head for student life, assistant head for academics, and honorary chair of the coeducation celebration committee. Maher also provided support to the faculty develop-ment program, encouraging faculty to participate in professional development opportunities and to network with faculty from around the world.

“She has been the consummate boarding school faculty member, known to all students and faculty alike, as a generous, genuine, and compassionate individual,” said Headmaster Rob Hershey. “No single individual has meant more to the successful adop-tion of coeducation at Episcopal than Jackie.”

In April, the crew team presented Maher with a crew shell inscribed with

her name to commemorate her stead-fast dedication to the development of the coeducational program at EHS.

“Memories of so many wonderful students, too many to name, who brought a depth to my life that is beyond measure,” said Maher about her retirement. “The faculty who shared their learning, wisdom, and friend-ship serving as a vital support in my constant growth as an educator.

“I look forward to the next stage with mixed feelings – I will miss the challenges but will savor the memories.”

“Being in the classroom with Ms. Maher is such a rewarding experience, because you walk out of her class not just with a greater understanding of the subject, but also a better grasp of what it takes to succeed at Episcopal,” said Elle Wilson ’13. “As a member of her advisory, I was amazed by her innate ability to bring together students from all different backgrounds and interests.

Ms. Maher was like the glue to our advisory, always willing to share some words of wisdom or advice on how to navigate the outside world. She will always be remembered for her compas-sionate nature and passion for teaching, along with her amazing ability to create a comfortable learning environment where every student can thrive.”

Jackie Maher played an instrumental role in helping to prepare the school community for coeducation in the early ’90s.

24 Summer 2013

Alumni WalkA New Tradition

During his remarks at the senior parent breakfast in the fall, Headmaster Rob Hershey said that it is “because Episcopal

comes from such a strong history of tradition and such early be-ginnings that rarely do students and parents get the opportunity to embark on a new tradition of their own.” Yet, the Class of 2013 got to do just that.

The parents, grandparents, and friends of the Class of 2013 kept with the tradition of celebrating their children’s time on the Hill by making a special contribution to the Roll Call, the School’s annual fund. However, they established a new way to recognize this gener-osity, the Class of 2013, and seniors for years to come.

The Class of 2013 founded the new Alumni Walk, a recognition space for all seniors beginning with this class. The Alumni Walk will list their names, grouped by class year, in the U-shaped walkway in front of Callaway Chapel. Michael Vergason, the School’s landscape architect, estimates that as many as 50 future classes will be recog-nized in this walk, with plans after that to proceed toward the new Townsend Hall.

“The Alumni Walk is a way to celebrate the Episcopal experi-ence for each graduate all in one place – to recognize that they went through this all together,” said Libby Wilkinson, director of parent giving. “We are excited that for years to come, all classes will join together in this new, special place to be recognized and honored.”

On May 21, the senior class gathered in front of Callaway Chapel to see their names unveiled and the new plaque inscribed with a dedication of the Alumni Walk. They came together as a class to view their names and hear remarks from Headmaster Rob Hershey and Head Chaplain Rev. Gideon Pollach. The class then proceeded to Centennial Gymnasium for a special dinner in their honor. While the seniors dined together, they heard from a panel of alumni about their experiences after leaving the Hill, as well as what it means to be part of the Episcopal alumni community. Following the alumni panel, the seniors laughed and reminisced as a slideshow of pictures from their last four years played to music.

Not only will subsequent graduating classes enjoy this new tradition, but every student at Episcopal will be inspired by it while lingering before and after Chapel and making their way to and from their dorms.

The Alumni Walk was made possible by the generous partici-pation of parents, grandparents, and friends of this year’s seniors. “It has been an honor to work with such dedicated and thoughtful parents this year,” Wilkinson said, “and is an example of the ethos of the whole class. May 21 was a special night to see them all together celebrating what they had accomplished together. It will be wonderful to see them back together in the same spot at their five-year reunion to share all that they have accomplished in their years after The High School.”

AdmissionsReport

Dear EHS Community,After another outstanding season, the Admissions Office is thrilled

to announce that we will welcome almost 120 new students to the School in September. This year’s applications came from 33 states, D.C., and 20 countries. We are very excited about the impact this newly admitted group will soon have on Episcopal’s academics, athletics, and arts programs. This diverse and talented group will continue to build on the excellent traditions of Episcopal High School.

Episcopal has been fortunate to be in such a great position in recent years; however, boarding school admissions is becoming more and more competitive each year as many of our peer schools are fighting for the same students. Therefore, we ask for your help in identifying and recruiting prospective students and families. Our bread and butter in the admissions pool are the prospective students that are referred to us by our alumni and current families. Your support significantly impacts the size of the applicant pool and the quality of the enrolled students, and most of all, helps maintain the School’s commitment to excellence.

There are several ways to encourage families to begin the admis-sions process, including having them request information online, schedule a visit to campus (even as early as this summer), register for our open house (Oct. 26), or attend The Game (Nov. 9). Also, keep an eye out for upcoming admissions events in your area. Checking out the Episcopal website is a great way to inform families of upcoming events either in your area or on the Hill.

Thank you for all of your work on behalf of The High School. We encourage you to reach out to us if you have any questions about how you can help us continue to attract the best student body possible for EHS!

Sincerely,

Scott ConklinDirector of Admissions

New students are coming from 24 states, D.C., and 10 countries.


EHS Student Tour Guides

The School’s tour guides are an integral part of the EHS admission process. Many times, they are the first Episcopal students prospective families meet. Tour guides not only show families around campus, but they engage with them, sharing stories about life on the Hill, and their perspectives on academics, athletics, and the arts.
