THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING

THE CAMPAIGN FOR ST. ANDREW’S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL

A PUBLICATION FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF ST. ANDREW’S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL

THOUGHTS FROM KEVIN

WHAT AN EXCITING YEAR 2024-2025 WAS AT ST. ANDREW’S!

ast spring, in what will be the largest construction project in St. Andrew’s history, we broke ground on a new Lower School on our South Campus. This commitment to the Lower School will be the final piece in assuring that all facilities are creating educational spaces of the same high caliber as our world-class Early Childhood facilities on the South Campus and our Middle and Upper Schools on the North Campus in Ridgeland. In this new space, our 1st through 4th grade faculty will develop the early skills that allow St. Andrew’s graduates of tomorrow to continue to lead the state in every

measure of educational achievement, receive scholarship offers from the best colleges in the country, and build meaningful lives of purpose.

The new Lower School also reflects St. Andrew’s longterm commitment to investing in our greater community. We are building a facility that will be an asset to the Fondren neighborhood and a source of pride for the capital city and all of Mississippi.

I’m incredibly excited about the year of construction ahead as we make the way for future generations of young Saints. Grab your hard hats and join us as we take the next big step into St. Andrew’s bright future.

Kevin Lewis, Head of School

GAZING THROUGH ARCHWAYS

In the early 1980s, the faculty and students of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School decided the school needed a motto. The students narrowed it down to three choices. In the style of the ancient Greeks, the student body voted by dropping pebbles into one of three pots. The clear winner was Inveniemus viam aut faciemus.

We will find a way or we will make a way.

In the years since, the St. Andrew’s community has lived up to that motto time and time again. Most recently, Making the Way was chosen as the theme for the school’s most ambitious project to date, the campaign to build a new Lower School campus in Jackson.

In this issue of Archways, you’ll read more about that visionary campaign, and you’ll be reminded of the spirit, optimism, and drive that has led our school to set the educational standard for the entire state.

Finding a way. Making a way. Leading the way.

Eight St. Andrew’s basketball players traveled to France to represent the school in a basketball tournament and international fair with students from around the world.

The journey began in Paris, where highlights included the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre. On their final, unforgettable evening in Paris, students dined inside the Eiffel Tower.

The four boys and four girls then traveled to Loches and the Saint-Denis International School, a new St. Andrew’s international partner school, where they took part in a weeklong showcase of global culture and basketball competition. The boys’ team earned bronze, while the girls made their debut in the newly-introduced girls’ division. The week ended with a torch-lighting and fireworks show, a perfect conclusion to an unforgettable experience of friendship, culture, and sport.

“Sports are a great way to bring students from many countries together,” says Emily Philpott, director of Global Studies. “We hope to continue to provide these opportunities for St. Andrew’s students to engage with our partner schools around the world.”

In 2024-25, St. Andrew’s students also traveled to: Italy • South Africa and Ghana • Spain, France, and Switzerland • Costa Rica (Middle School)

GLOBAL STUDIES HITS THE BASKETBALL COURT IN PARIS

The St. Andrew’s basketball teams were represented in Paris by varsity girls coach Burney King, varsity boys coach Russell Marsalis, Henry Cooper, William Johnson, Justin Willis, Matthew McCullough, Allexis Phillips, Alleah Paulding, Callie Sullivan, and Sophia Huckabay.

AND THE AWARD GOES TO…

THE TRUSTEES’ MEDAL FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Celia Lane

Presented to the senior who has maintained the highest GPA over four years, as well as a mature, responsible attitude toward learning

“I love that, even though we may be small in number, our St. Andrew’s family encapsulates such a diverse, compelling group of people. Learning with and from these students and teachers has broadened my view of the world and instilled in me a desire to continue learning from those around me. I love these people.” — Celia Lane ’25, Now a freshman at Stanford University

THE ADELE FRANKS MEDAL

Vahita Anand

Presented to the senior who, in the view of the faculty, has demonstrated the same qualities of leadership, initiative, and creative thinking exemplified in the lifelong achievements of St. Andrew’s founding headmistress, Mrs. Adele Franks

“St. Andrew’s is a community that values connection, creativity, care, and chance moments of joy. This kind of environment fosters a unique kind of leadership – not one where the leader is the loudest voice in the room, but the one that lifts others up. We’ve learned how to lead with compassion and humanity, to lead by making space, by listening, by reaching out, and by empowering others.”

— Vahita Anand ’25, Now a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

SAINTS’ MEDAL FOR UNSELFISH SERVICE

Verena

Bhagat

Presented to the student who views his or her work in terms of where that service will do the most good for the most people within St. Andrew’s and not in terms of personal gain or recognition

“Though we may sacrifice our time, money, resources, and energy when we aim to help others, we walk away with a reward as well – friendships and community. Service is not just about completing a task for someone else. It’s about reaching out to others, sharing challenges and joys with them, and building bonds with them. Every act of service is a new bond being formed.”

— Verena Bhagat ’25, Now a freshman at the University of Alabama at Birmingham

THE CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER ALLENBURGER IV FACULTY AWARD

Cyndi Irons

The 2025 Allenburger Faculty Award, which includes a stipend for faculty development, was presented to Middle School art teacher Cyndi Irons.

“Receiving the Allenburger Award was both a surprise and an honor. My work and teaching at St. Andrew’s provide me with an incredible opportunity to collaborate with extraordinary teachers and administration, and I take great joy in sharing my knowledge and love for art with our students. I’m continually inspired by watching our students create and grow.”

THE JAN GRAEBER OUTSTANDING STAFF MEMBER AWARD

Jay Losset

The 2025 Jan Graeber Outstanding Staff Member Award was presented to Jay Losset, director of auxiliary programs.

“Ever since I joined St. Andrew’s in 2014, I’ve been a fan of Jan Graeber and her efficient, yet easy going and friendly style,” Losset says. “While I doubt you’d find anyone who would describe me as ‘easy going,’ I’m honored that people saw enough in me to recognize me with this honor in Jan’s honor.”

GRADS GOING PLACES

The members of the Class of 2025 are pursuing their dreams at 37 colleges and universities nationwide and overseas.

The Class of 2025 included 41 ALPHA-OMEGA GRADUATES, students who attended St. Andrew’s from pre-K or first grade through grade 12.

COLLEGE BOUND

42 MEMBERS of the Classes of 2026 and 2027 hit the road during St. Andrew’s 2025 College Bus Tour.

Students visited 11 SCHOOLS in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, including liberal arts colleges, military institutions, and HBCUs.

THE ANNUAL TOUR gives students an opportunity to experience different types and sizes of colleges and see first-hand which kinds of collegiate environments seem best-suited to them. The tour helps students narrow down their college choice lists, and also helps St. Andrew’s college counselors suggest similar schools to which students may wish to apply. Several students have applied to colleges visited on the tour, as well as to schools with similar environments.

“I LOVE SEEING the students light up when they walk around a campus and realize, ‘This is the type of environment I want to pursue,’” says Paula Pratt, director of college counseling. “Personally, I love the memories made during our many hours on the bus together and getting to know the students better. It’s exciting to see the students start dreaming about their futures, and walking alongside them as they decide where their next chapter will be written.”

PRESCHOOL

for CHILDREN’S

PRE-K4 STUDENTS RAISED MORE THAN $1,000 FOR CHILDREN’S OF MISSISSIPPI, THE STATE’S ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL, WITH A PRE-K PEDALS FOR CHILDREN’S TRIKE-A-THON.

A PART OF THE STUDENTS’ UNIT ON COMMUNITY HELPERS, the fundraiser found Pre-K4 students pedaling their trikes around the Early Childhood Center parking lot, with each lap raising donations from their parents and friends for Children’s of Mississippi. The tricyclists were cheered on by their friends in Foundations, Pre-K3, and Kindergarten.

“I HAVE SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES, and looking back, I know my experiences at St. Andrew’s were a big part of cultivating my curiosity and interest in learning for learning’s sake.”

COMING FULL CIRCLE

MEET GENE ADAMS GRAHAM ’00, HEAD OF ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT

“J

oining the team at St. Andrew’s feels like coming full circle,” says Gene Adams Graham, St. Andrew’s new head of enrollment management.

Graham attended St. Andrew’s from Pre-K3 through grade 6, and now returns to the school as part of the admission team. She will replace Senior Director of Admission Crissie Walker, who plans to leave St. Andrew’s in 2026. Until then, the two will work together to encourage new families to apply to St. Andrew’s, just as three-year-old Gene once did.

“My first St. Andrew’s memory is of visiting Mrs. Horton’s classroom as part of the preschool admissions process,” Graham says. “I have so many great memories, and looking back, I know my experiences at St. Andrew’s were a big part of cultivating my curiosity and interest in learning for learning’s sake.”

from the Mississippi School Public Relations Association for her work on videos, social media campaigns, publications, and other communications projects. True to her love of learning, Graham spent her “spare time” earning a master’s degree in integrated marketing communications from the University of Mississippi.

“I enjoyed being a student again and keeping up to date with trends and tools in the communications and marketing fields,” Graham says. “Balancing a fulltime job, master’s program, and raising two kids was sometimes tricky, but absolutely worth it on all counts.”

“MY CHILDREN HAVE BENEFITTED TREMENDOUSLY FROM THEIR ST. ANDREW’S EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE.”

“Their teachers are second to none. The curriculum has encouraged them to think critically across all subject areas while developing empathy and cultivating what I hope is a lifelong understanding of the value of community service. I’m looking forward to getting to know students and their parents who are looking to be part of our diverse, kind, and exceptional school community.”

A graduate of Washington and Lee University, Graham worked as a news reporter and back-up anchor with WLBT in Jackson before relocating to Fort Worth, Texas, where she served as assistant director of admissions with Trinity Valley School. Graham returned to Jackson in 2011, staying home with her children until 2017, when she returned to the workforce as director of communications for Madison County Schools. An outstanding communicator, Graham received multiple awards

GENE ADAMS GRAHAM Head

of Enrollment Management

Graham serves on the finance committee of St. Andrew’s Cathedral, where she was baptized, confirmed, and married. She and her husband, Win, live in the Fondren neighborhood. Graham’s children, Mary Gayle (class of 2029) and Beau (class of 2032), are St. Andrew’s students.

“From the moment I inquired about St. Andrew’s for my children, the entire community has been so warm and welcoming,” Graham says. “The people of St. Andrew’s really embrace the values that the school and the Episcopal tradition represent. I’m honored to get to be part of the process of introducing and welcoming new families into this special community, and I’m truly excited to serve the mission of this place where my heart – my family – is invested.”

“MY FAVORITE ST. ANDREW’S TRADITION IS MAY DAY.

I still have the little wreath my mom made for me to wear at May Day when I was in fourth grade.” — Gene Adams Graham

BROADWAY IN THE

MAMMA MIA!

Love, laughs, and ABBA hits were in the spotlight as the Upper School theater arts department presented the Broadway smash hit Mamma Mia!

Local professional musicians accompanied the St. Andrew’s cast, lending their talents to hits like “Dancing Queen,” “Does Your Mother Know?” and “Take a Chance on Me.” Guest musicians were managed by Dr. Dennis Cranford, Middle and Upper School band teacher, and directed by Anna Johnson, director of choirs. Mamma Mia! was directed by David Kelly, director of the Center for Performing Arts, and choreographed by Hannah Williams-Inman, former Spanish teacher.

ANNIE JR.

Middle Schoolers reminded audiences that the sun will come out tomorrow with a joyful performance of Annie Jr. directed by Shannon Watt, 5th grade music teacher.

GO FISH — Lower School students took audiences under the sea in an endearing production of the play Go Fish directed by Sarah Walker, Lower School music teacher.

THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING

On May 5, 2025, St. Andrew’s broke ground on new Lower School buildings on the South Campus. Construction is now well underway, with the first phase of this signature educational facility scheduled to open in the fall of 2026.

“We’re at an exciting phase now that construction has begun,” says Dr. Shea Egger, head of Lower School. “It’s surreal to see the project begin after years of dreaming what could be for our Lower School students, faculty, and families.”

The new construction and renovations of the Lower School will match the recognized excellence of its teachers and programs. Like the Center for Performing Arts, McRae Science Center, Athletics

and Recreation Center, and Early Childhood Center, the new Lower School building and surroundings will reflect St. Andrew’s position as a national educational leader.

The new campus also reflects St. Andrew’s decades-long commitment to investing in the greater community. This outstanding educational facility will be a significant asset and a point of pride for the state of Mississippi.

ST. ANDREW’S BREAKS GROUND ON THE NEW LOWER SCHOOL

PHASE 1 of the new Lower School campus is scheduled to open in fall of 2026.

“T

his project is more than just the construction of new buildings. It’s a vote of confidence in the vibrant future of Jackson,” says Jackson Mayor John Horhn. “As someone who has long admired not only St. Andrew’s tradition of academic rigor, but also its commitment to serving the community, I know that St. Andrew’s will continue to attract young families and form partnerships with other forward-thinking organizations that will have a positive impact on our city. I’m proud that the school’s leadership has decided to reaffirm St. Andrew’s 75-plus-year

legacy and to continue to build St. Andrew’s future in Jackson.”

The groundbreaking ceremony immediately followed St. Andrew’s annual May Day celebration. Local news media, including newspapers, magazines, and TV stations, were there to capture the history-making moment when the shovels hit the ground.

“We were so excited for students and families to return to campus and see the progress we’ve made over the summer,” Egger says. “I love seeing the joy on our students’ faces as we watch the new buildings take shape and anticipate the teaching and learning that will happen here.”

“SIXTY YEARS AGO, those visionaries built the growing school a permanent home. This educational wonderland has served us well for decades. Now, in perhaps our boldest step since our founding and the construction of this building, we have broken ground on the future of St. Andrew’s.”

BUILDING ON A FAMILY TRADITION

The new Lower School campus was designed by architect Jack Allin ’96 of Wier Boerner Allin Architecture. Allin’s late grandfather, Tom Biggs, designed the original Lower School campus. Mississippibased Alliant Construction will handle construction of the new campus.

“After nearly seven years planning and revising plans for the future of our South Campus, I am reminded that St. Andrew’s motto, inveniemus viam aut faciemus, or ‘we will find a way or make one,’ does not suggest that ‘the way’ will be either straight or obvious,” Allin says. “What I’m also reminded of is that in making the way, our path will lead us to the right place. When the contractor broke ground, I had a great sense of peace in knowing that, despite our long – and sometimes circuitous – path, we made the way, and the way will lead our future Saints for generations.”

A MASTER PLAN FOR THE SOUTH CAMPUS

The South Campus master plan includes critical facilities needed to support the talented teachers and innovative programs that shape students’ lives in Lower School and beyond.

Bright new classrooms filled with natural light and flexible open spaces built for collaborative projects will encourage lively, creative learning.

“The Close,” an expansive green space in the center of the campus, will be a dynamic outdoor learning and recreation space that connects children with nature throughout the school day. Outdoor classrooms will offer an engaging,

multisensory learning experience and a gentle reminder of the importance of environmental stewardship. The school buildings encircle the green space, creating a private, secure oasis in the heart of the campus.

Penick Plaza, named in honor of former Head of School George Penick and his wife, community leader Carol Penick, will serve as an outdoor classroom and gathering space.

Limited entry points will enhance safety and improve traffic flow, as well as welcome students into an adventurous world of learning.

The campus will meet St. Andrew’s teaching needs and provide teachers and students with the best possible learning environment.

The St. Andrew’s community was deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Joyce Marion, a Making the Way campaign co-chair.

Dr. Marion was a longtime St. Andrew’s supporter and volunteer leader, serving in many roles at the school, including as a member of the board of trustees and chair of SAPA.

Joyce’s husband, David, continues to serve as a campaign co-chair.

The couple’s daughter, Chloe, is a member of the class of 2026.

CELEBRATE WONDERLAND— The public phase of the Making the Way campaign launched on April 12, 2025 with “Celebrate Wonderland,” a festive gala at the Lower School that honored the current building and its rich history while unveiling plans for the stunning new Lower School campus. “Celebrate Wonderland” is a nod to the opening of the original Lower School building in 1966, when a local newspaper referred to the space as “an architectural and educational wonderland.”

THE FACES THAT FORM US

For alumni, walking the halls of the St. Andrew’s Lower School brings back a flood of happy memories. The building on Old Canton Road is synonymous not only with mastering their first spelling words or math problems, but also with their first friendships and first exploration of all that they wanted to become.

Those sentiments are captured in “The Faces that Form Us,” a collage by artist Josh Hailey ’99. The collage features yearbook photos of every 4th grade student from the first edition of the St. Andrew’s Sanctus yearbook in 1972 through 2025 – approximately 3,000 alumni whose lives were shaped in part by their time in the Lower School. Unveiled at the “Celebrate Wonderland” gala, “The Faces that Form Us” prompted the hundreds of alumni in attendance to search for their faces in the collage while sharing their fondest memories of St. Andrew’s.

The Celebrate Wonderland planning committee included (from left, back): Sara Sanders, Madeleine Nichols, Elise Rueff, Nancy Mayfield, Elizabeth Boone, Leslie Baskin; (front) Taylor Menist, Morgan Norman, Theresa Davis, Leah Hendrix (chair), Sara Jane McCrary (co-chair), and Jean Bertas. Not pictured: Ashley and William Craig, Dorothy and Trey Wofford, Barber Boone, Patti Farr, Mona Graham, Katie Black, Megan West Allen, Lizzy Abston, Nikki Neely, Lindsay Hamm, Shawn Sanders, and Cody Christie.

“The Faces that Form Us” will hang in the new Lower School building as a permanent reminder that while the old building was beloved, the Lower School’s real legacy lives on in every St. Andrew’s student who left its halls with a lifelong love of learning.

MAKING THE WAY • THE MOVIE

The “Celebrate Wonderland” event included the premiere of a short film honoring the history of the current Lower School building and leading viewers on an animated tour of the campus to come. Scan the QR code to view the five-minute film.

MAY DAY

MAY 5, 2025, WAS A JOYOUS CELEBRATION OF ST. ANDREW’S BELOVED LOWER SCHOOL BUILDING AND AN EXCITING GROUNDBREAKING FOR THE NEW LOWER SCHOOL CAMPUS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

Each grade level represented a classic children’s movie that showcased curiosity, bravery, resilience, kindness, authenticity, and confidence, all traits needed to forge new paths, brave new challenges, and lead the way.

This year’s Grand Marshall was Kathy Vial, retired Lower School science teacher. The evening was also a loving tribute in memory of former head of Lower School Jean Jones.

May Day closed with thoughts from Shea Egger, head of the Lower School, who said, “We know our St. Andrew’s community has the curiosity, bravery, resilience, kindness, authenticity, and confidence needed to find a way or make a way together.”

FARM to Table

THE ST. ANDREW’S PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION (SAPA) HELD ITS ANNUAL FARM TO TABLE FUNDRAISER MARCH 16, 2025 AT THE PLANT IN FONDREN.

Former St. Andrew’s student Chaz Lindsay ’08, owner and head chef of Jackson’s acclaimed Pulito Osteria, prepared a flavorful meal featuring fresh produce grown by St. Andrew’s student gardeners. Other event highlights included musical entertainment by Benton Parker ’14 and his band, Memphis Rhythm Revue; a silent auction featuring items donated by St. Andrew’s parents, including a piece by artist William Goodman ’99; and live painting by noted artist Ellen Langford ’85.

QU E S T A NEW

for the ALEXANDER CLARK INSTITUTE

THE GLOBAL LEADERS PROGRAM

St. Andrew’s Alexander Clark Institute for Advanced Studies unveiled a new program that will take students on an archaeological and biological expedition deep into the heart of the Yucatán jungle.

THE INSTITUTE’S Global Leaders Program includes coursework, research, and international experiences that prepare students to become thoughtful leaders in an interconnected world.

A program highlight is a cohort trip to Mérida, Mexico, and the Yucatán Peninsula, where students will conduct cutting-edge archeological fieldwork and biological research on a 4,500-acre tropical forest reserve. The Yucatán experience is made possible through a partnership with Millsaps College. Millsaps’ nonprofit organization, Kaxil Kiuic, supports and operates the reserve as a research and conservation property. St. Andrew’s is the first high school invited to partner with Millsaps for this learning experience in the Yucatán. Dr. George Bey, Millsaps College professor of anthropology and a world-renowned archeologist, leads the Millsaps Yucatán research program. Dr. Bey is the parent of St. Andrew’s graduates George ’11 and Bridget ’13.

“Although in the past our Yucatán program has not worked with high schools, St. Andrew’s represents a special opportunity,” Dr. Bey says. “Partnering with the toprated private school in Mississippi and one of the best in the nation gives Millsaps a chance to work with excellent students, which is what Millsaps is about. We chose St. Andrew’s because the school has a very high academic ranking and a well-developed international education program – St. Andrew’s already sends its students all over the world. Our partnership with St. Andrew’s gives Millsaps the chance to develop additional educational dimensions for our program.”

ST. ANDREW’S IS THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL INVITED TO PARTNER WITH MILLSAPS COLLEGE FOR A LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN THE YUCATÁN.

“THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN INSTAR WAS A MASSIVE DISTINCTION I DREW BETWEEN ST. ANDREW’S AND THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE AREA. THIS PROGRAM WAS THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED TO ATTEND ST. ANDREW’S.”

YASH PILLAI, CLASS OF 2027

INSTAR CONTINUES TO SHINE

A NEW QUEST FOR THE CLARK INSTITUTE

Also operating through the Alexander Clark Institute is The Dr. John D. Bower INSTAR (Investigating Novel Solutions Through Applied Research) Scholars Program.

Students admitted to the INSTAR program design and conduct a yearlong, in-depth scientific research project. The program requires self-directed research at a level most students don’t experience until college or the graduate school level. Students who complete the research and present their findings in a minimum of two forums are recognized as Bower Scholars. INSTAR began in 2019 with a pilot group of six students. The program has since produced 41 Bower Scholars, with 31 students accepted for the 2025-26 academic year. Many of those students are participating in the program for the second or third year. St. Andrew’s has also welcomed transfer students who applied to the school specifically for the opportunity to participate in Bower INSTAR.

change. Now a sophomore at Notre Dame University, Zevallos works as an undergraduate research assistant in the university’s Learning Analytics and Measurement in Behavioral Sciences Lab.

41 INSTAR SCHOLARS SINCE 2019

31 STUDENTS ACCEPTED FOR 2025-26 BOWER INSTAR

“I’m impressed by the number of students who are excited about conducting advanced scientific research,” says Marks McWhorter ’06, chair of the St. Andrew’s Science Department. “The INSTAR application process is more competitive each year, even though the workload and time commitment are substantial.”

“The opportunity to participate in INSTAR was a massive distinction I drew between St. Andrew’s and the other schools in the area,” says Yash Pillai, a junior who transferred to St. Andrew’s in 2025. “This program was the main reason I decided to attend St. Andrew’s.”

Junior Ria Patel, who presented her research at the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and was named a finalist, is participating in INSTAR for the second year.

“As an INSTAR Scholar and an ISEF finalist, I had the opportunity to meet students from over 60 countries and learn from some of the greatest minds behind science and innovation,” Patel says. “The support of my INSTAR mentors pushes me to continue my research.”

Gabriella Zevallos ’24 completed three years of INSTAR research related to plant sciences and climate

INSTAR SCHOLARS have conducted research related to maternal-fetal health, the impact of microplastics on the ecology of the Pearl River, natural alternatives to chemical fertilizers, the effects of high-dose nicotine, and more.

“INSTAR builds a foundation that’s a big advantage if you want to get involved in scientific research at the college level,” Zevallos says. “Coming up with your own research project, figuring out how you’re going to conduct it, and actually doing the work is not something a lot of my friends in college had done. INSTAR also gives you the opportunity to learn – and make mistakes –with the help of teachers who care about you and your success, and whose love for science and learning will inspire you. I would 100% recommend INSTAR. It’s a very unique opportunity that any student interested in science should take advantage of.”

THE ALEXANDER CLARK INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES — A ST. ANDREW’S SIGNATURE PROGRAM

The Alexander Clark Institute for Advanced Studies is named in honor of alumnus Alexander Clark ’00, CEO of Technolutions, a multimillion-dollar software development firm Clark founded as a seventh grader at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School. “For this country to succeed, we need creative graduates who can think outside of coursework, who know how to operate with less structure and without a playbook,” Clark said.

“The Institute for Advanced Studies will grow and evolve based on the students and how St. Andrew’s can best support them, and then, give them room to fly. Students will know St. Andrew’s is behind them, but they’ll have permission to blaze their own trails.”

“At a time when our country is grappling with how we teach history, it’s imperative that Mississippi students learn the full scope of our state’s past – not just its triumphs, but its trials, and especially the sacrifices made to create a more just America.” — JOHN SPANN ’08, PROGRAM AND OUTREACH OFFICER, MISSISSIPPI HUMANITIES COUNCIL, HISTORIAN AND FIELD TRIP GUIDE

GOING WHERE

HISTORY HAPPENED

A compelling English and history unit gives St. Andrew’s eighth graders deep insights into the Mississippi civil rights movement, its heroes, and its far-reaching legacy.

LED BY HISTORY TEACHER PAUL BUCKLEY ’82 AND English teacher Kayla Bilbo, the three-to-five-week unit includes books, lectures, films, and student research essays. Thought-provoking classroom discussions are among the most inspirational parts of the unit.

“I’ve been very impressed with our students’ maturity and sensitivity,” Buckley says. “St. Andrew’s does such a good job helping students become sensitive to the perspectives of others, and helping them learn to listen to those perspectives with an open heart and an open mind, not just to be polite, but also to see the truth in what the other person is saying. I’ve often thought our kids probably do a lot better discussing these sensitive subjects than many adults would.”

The highlight of the unit is a daylong, immersive field trip to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, the Museum of Mississippi History, the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument, and other sites where the history students have studied comes alive.

“I always knew that segregation was once a big issue in our area, but I never really understood just how close to home it all was,” says Maddie McCoy, class of 2029. “Going on the bus tour and finding out that places I’d passed by my whole life have great significance was very eye-opening. I see Jackson in a much different way now. It was a part of history, for the worse and the better.”

“I felt like I could see the ghosts of Mississippi’s past,” says Rohan Sood, class of 2029. “I’ve lived here for 14 years, but that field trip made me realize how significant of a role our state played in history. These were tough things to look at or hear, but I didn’t consider our trip depressing. Instead, I thought it was amazing how in just 60 years, Mississippi could come from a time of injustice to a time of healing.”

Many of the students were so inspired by the experience that they continued to immerse themselves in civil rights history outside of school.

“It was very emotional to stand in Medgar Evers’ house, knowing that his family once lived in terror there,” says

Sarah Midgett, class of 2029. “I was so moved by our experience that I asked my mom if we could visit the Evers’ house together this summer, and we did.”

“Our amazing experience made me want to learn more. This summer, I went to the Lincoln memorial, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech,” says Lily Halter, class of 2029.

“I also went to Memphis to visit the National Civil Rights Museum and Lorraine Motel where Dr. King was assassinated. Seeing these things made me have a deeper respect for the people of the movement and what they did to get the freedom they deserved.”

The field experiences were guided by historian John Spann ’08, program and outreach officer with the Mississippi Humanities Council and former curator of education at the Civil Rights and Mississippi History Museums.

“Working with Mr. Buckley on these tours has been a profound, full-circle moment for me because he was my history teacher at St. Andrew’s,” Spann says. “Serving in this capacity allows me to give back to the school that helped shape me, while offering today’s students a

GUEST SPEAKERS PATRICK WEEMS ’04 AND WRIGHT THOMPSON SHINE A LIGHT ON THE DARK SECRETS IN THE BARN.

St. Andrew’s Middle and Upper School students were transported to a dark era in Mississippi history when Patrick Weems ’04, director of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, returned to campus to lead a discussion with Wright Thompson, author of The Barn. The New York Times bestseller delves into the

1955 murder of Emmett Till in an isolated barn in the Mississippi Delta.

Weems, St. Andrew’s 2022 distinguished alumnus of the year, first heard Till’s story as a student in a St. Andrew’s history class. He was instrumental in the campaign that made the Emmett Till sites in Mississippi a National Monument in 2023.

“Visiting St. Andrew’s to discuss Wright Thompson’s book and engage with students was deeply meaningful,” Weems says. “It was an honor to return to the place that shaped my values and career path while inspiring the next generation.”

“I felt like I could see the ghosts of Mississippi’s past. I’ve lived here for 14 years, but that field trip made me realize how significant of a role our state played in history.” — ROHAN SOOD, CLASS OF 2029

deeper, more personal understanding of Mississippi’s complex and often painful history. It’s especially meaningful to guide them through the very streets where so many brave Black Mississippians and other marginalized people stood up for justice and equality.”

“As we learn more about people, we can see how being part of a particular group has shaped their individual experiences,” Buckley says. “But the starting point is that we’re individuals who share a common humanity. That’s how we should see ourselves.”

“At a time when our country is grappling with how we teach history, it’s imperative that Mississippi students learn the full scope of our state’s past – not just its triumphs, but its trials, and especially the sacrifices made to create a more just America,” Spann says. “These tours are more than educational. They’re acts of remembrance and responsibility.”

“I want our students to understand the history in terms of how it shaped us to be who we are,” Buckley says. “But I also want them to take the next step, and think about how we’re meant to make this a better world.”

COMING OF AGE IN MISSISSIPPI

“Something happened to me as I got more and more involved in the Movement…I had found something outside myself that gave meaning to my life.” — Anne Moody, Coming of Age in Mississippi

As part of their cross-curricular civil rights unit, students read Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which deals with issues of racism

from the perspective of Scout, a white child growing up in the South, and Coming of Age in Mississippi, a memoir by Anne Moody, a young Black woman who became a civil rights activist. Moody was one of a group of Tougaloo College students who were beaten and doused with salt, mustard, and ketchup during a sit-in at Woolworth’s lunch counter in Jackson.

“I really admired how brave Anne Moody was,” says Sarah Midgett, class of 2029. “Even though she was so young, she stood up and fought for equal rights. Anne Moody showed us that no matter what age you are, you can always make a difference.”

FUN & GAMES IN FOUNDATIONS

IN ST. ANDREW’S FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM, THERE’S MORE TO “PLAY” THAN JUST FUN AND GAMES. Children infants to two years old participate in creative activities that help them learn and develop crucial cognitive, physical, social, and emotional skills.

CIRCUS DAY transformed Foundations into the center ring, complete with space jumps, bubbles, water play, and the challenge of circus games and skills.

GRANDPARENTS DAY brought students’ grandparents and other family friends to Foundations to join students in classroom activities, performances, crafts, and snacks. This special day honored the important role grandparents play in the children’s lives and strengthened family bonds.

PRO GOING

FROM ON THE FIELD TO BEHIND THE SCENES, several St. Andrew’s alumni are pursuing exciting careers in professional sports.

CATHERINE CHALFANT ’12 Manager, Remote Production Operations ESPN

CHALFANT OVERSEES THE production teams responsible for ESPN’s live coverage of college football, the Women’s College World Series, and the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. She ensures everything runs smoothly on-site, from managing equipment and transmission paths to coordinating with technical crews.

Chalfant oversaw operations for the two highestrated Women’s Final Fours in history, including the 2024 event, which drew nearly 22 million viewers. Her next major project is the College Football Playoff National Championship, an assignment she describes as “a true bucket list event.”

“In live television, a typical day is rarely ‘typical. It’s fastpaced and constantly changing. Flexibility and problemsolving are key. No two events are alike, and every week presents a new set of challenges to solve in real time.”

As a student at the University of Mississippi, Chalfant worked as a sports production intern, an experience that taught her to adapt quickly in the “organized chaos of live sport television.” Chalfant also credits her St. Andrew’s experience with helping her thrive in her profession.

“Two of the biggest life lessons that have stuck with me are understanding that I’m just one person in a much larger world with all different cultures, values, and walks of life, and the importance of always approaching others with kindness, collaboration, and empathy. Those values are essential in live television, where teamwork and mutual respect are everything. I also credit St. Andrew’s for helping instill my work ethic. I learned early on that the greatest accomplishments require long hours, dedication, and sacrifice. That mindset has carried me through every challenge in my career.”

GREG MCMILLIN ’08

Assistant Director, Minor League and International Operations Cincinnati Reds

MCMILLIN HELPS OVERSEE player development and international scouting operations for the Cincinnati Reds, as well as the team’s baseball academy in the Dominican Republic. He divides his time between Arizona for spring training, summers traveling to minor league affiliates across the U.S., and visits to the academy in the DR.

“I’ve loved baseball for as long as I can remember, and that passion has shaped both my academic path and my professional goals.”

McMillin studied economics at Vanderbilt, then earned a JD and MBA from Emory University. He completed internships with the Mississippi Braves, Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays, MLB’s Commissioner’s Office, Cincinnati Reds, and Philadelphia Phillies.

“Each of those experiences broadened my understanding of the industry from different organizational and departmental perspectives. The writing and critical thinking skills I developed at St. Andrew’s were also invaluable in preparing me for college, graduate school, and everything that’s followed. I was fortunate to be surrounded by talented classmates and teachers who challenged me and pushed me to grow.”

MICHAEL SANDERSON ’14

Accounting Coordinator

Tennessee Titans

SANDERSON HANDLES cashflow, bookkeeping, and financials for the Tennessee Titans and Nissan Stadium business entities.

“A lot of my day-to-day is working through ticketing revenue, both for the Tennessee Titans and Nissan Stadium. This is one of my favorite parts of the job. I work through the cashflow and revenue/expense recognition for the Titans and their games and season tickets, and also for Nissan Stadium and its concerts and events.”

Sanderson is also responsible for bookkeeping for the Tennessee Titans’ new stadium, set for completion in 2027. The Titans, city of Nashville, and state of Tennessee are all investors in the new stadium.

Sanderson earned an undergraduate degree in finance, then completed a two-year sports administration program at Belmont University and a series of key internships with pro teams and college athletic departments that prepared him for a career in business operations within sports.

“There are a lot of people and places that helped me get here, and that started at St. Andrew’s. I’ll be the first to tell you I was not an all-A student and I was in zero AP classes, but I was challenged to learn and get better every day. St. Andrew’s forced me to think outside of the box and be creative. Today, problem solving without a previous precedent is a constant part of my job and is something I consider one of my strengths. At St. Andrew’s, I was asked to think outside of the box and given questions that didn’t have easy answers. Very frustrating as a 16-year-old, but now, I look back with pride and I’m thankful for that challenge.”

BANKS TOLLEY PLAYS baseball for the Schaumburg Boomers, a professional team based in Illinois. The Boomers compete in the Frontier League as a member of the West Division in the Midwest Conference. Tolley began his pro baseball career in 2024 with the Missoula PaddleHeads of the Pioneer League. He played college baseball at Meridian Community College and also played in 26 games for the 2022 National Champion Ole Miss Rebels. Tolley then transferred to Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, where he contributed to one of the best single seasons in program history. He was named a Second Team All-American, First Team All-Atlantic Region, 2024 Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year, and First Team All-Conference. As a St. Andrew’s student athlete, Tolley played baseball, football, and soccer. He originally accepted a soccer scholarship to Mercer University, where he played during his freshman year before transferring to Meridian Community College to focus on baseball.

“Banks had tremendous athletic ability and was good at most everything he did,” says St. Andrew’s Head Baseball Coach Mark Fanning. “With his involvement in so many high school sports while also being an excellent student, Banks was the perfect example of an outstanding student athlete. I also remember him as a great teammate who seemed to have more fun than anyone at the ballpark.”

BANKS TOLLEY ’18

Professional Baseball Player

Schaumburg Boomers

GARRISON WADE ’18

Assistant to the Head of On-Court Strategy and Business

Development WME Basketball

WADE IS THE assistant to an executive sport agent with WME Basketball in Los Angeles. His fast-paced work environment is the real-life version of the business world portrayed in the movie Jerry Maguire (although Wade has never had a client say, “Show me the money!”). A typical day might include assisting his boss in recruiting new basketball talent, scouting a game, booking meetings with players, or scheduling constant travel.

A standout basketball player at St. Andrew’s, Wade went on to play for Dartmouth College and Cal State Fullerton. His experiences on the court have helped Wade forge personal connections with WME clients. A highlight has been the opportunity to attend three NBA drafts, including the 2025 draft, when WME client Derik Queen was the #13 pick. Wade worked with Queen through draft preparation and training, and was in the green room in New York’s Barclays Center when Queen’s name was called by the New Orleans Pelicans.

“Being there in the moment when Derik’s childhood dream was fulfilled, seeing his mom crying happy tears, and celebrating with his family afterward was super fulfilling. I was excited, I was cheering, and I was proud.” Wade credits St. Andrew’s with helping him learn to think outside the box.

“I’m faced with a lot of problem solving, and I always go back to the school’s motto, ‘find a way or make one.’ I love the school and I’ll always be a Saint.”

JOHN MYCHAL WARREN ’20

Associate Analyst, Player Development Analytics New York Mets

WARREN DESCRIBES HIS WORK as “deep dive analysis” on the Mets’ minor league players, breaking down underlying metrics and helping build development plans. His role also involves building models and algorithms that improve player evaluation, as well as creating tools coaches can use to make more informed decisions on the field.

“One of the coolest parts of the job is being involved in a player’s development from the early stages. Watching them progress as they make their way to the big leagues is a huge privilege.”

As a student at LSU, Warren served as the baseball data analytics manager while studying biomechanics and data analysis. He chose to pursue a career in professional baseball based on the love of the game he developed as a student athlete at St. Andrew’s.

“I always looked back on St. Andrew’s baseball as a highlight, and I really missed being around the game. I decided to take a bit of a risk and chase something I was genuinely passionate about.

“Playing at St. Andrew’s helped me understand the day-to-day aspects of baseball – how I used to think as a player, and how coaches impacted me as both a player and a person. That’s helped me a lot in connecting with players and coaches and communicating things in a way that resonates. On the academic side, I was fortunate to get a great education at St. Andrew’s, which built a solid foundation for understanding the more technical side of my role. Being able to take those complex ideas and translate them to players and coaches is key to my job. St. Andrew’s played a real part in preparing me for that.”

TAKE HIM OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Middle School Counselor

Shedrick Rodgers turned his love of America’s favorite pastime into a part-time job as a college baseball umpire.

IF HIS FATHER DOZED OFF during the televised broadcast, a young Shedrick always had a detailed scorebook and game stats ready to share with his dad.

Rodgers went on to play college ball at Jackson State University. Rodgers learned the ins and outs of the game as a child watching Major League Baseball games with his father.

“As a player at JSU, I saw the need to diversify the field of umpires. Umpiring was also a way for me to supplement my income and stay connected to the game. Baseball is my first love.”

Umpiring at the college level is extremely competitive. Success requires ongoing training, certification, passing an annual rules test, attending NCAA clinics, and consistent, high performance on the field. It also requires an even temperament, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and the integrity and courage to make fair calls on the field when emotions in the stadium are running high. As Rodgers can attest, umpiring also requires a thick skin.

“I’ve been heckled on many, many occasions by the crowd. I even had a fan look up my wife’s name so he could yell at me, ‘I’m going to call Wanda and report you!’ The opportunity to contribute to the integrity of the game, the camaraderie of being part of an organization that builds friendship, and a shared sense of mission make the experience of dealing with the hecklers worth it.”

The traits required to be a good umpire also serve Rodgers well as a beloved Middle School counselor. Both jobs require the highest levels of fairness and impartiality, patience, listening and communication

skills, and a gift for resolving conflicts and making thoughtful decisions.

“Umpiring has taught me valuable life lessons, including leadership, focusing on what you can control, and accepting that we’re all human. Mistakes happen in baseball, in school, and in life.”

SHEDRICK RODGERS’ 24 YEARS AS AN UMPIRE INCLUDES CALLING BALLS AND STRIKES FOR THE:

• American Athletic Conference

• Conference USA

• Gulf South Conference

• Historically Black College and Universities

• Mississippi Association of Colleges and Junior Colleges

• South Western Athletic Conference

• Sunbelt Conference

• Rodgers has also served as a Minor League substitute umpire for the Mississippi Braves.

Rodgers’ 24 years’ experience has included umpiring multiple conference tournament and conference championship games, an honor that indicated he was among the top eight umpires in the conference.

STEWART HOOD

“My wife and I see our children experiencing academic and personal growth in a learning environment that is unexpected in Mississippi. St. Andrew’s lives up to its reputation of academic excellence, while also being a place where all types of people feel welcome. The staff are true professionals that approach their calling in a way that you don’t see at other schools. I love Jackson, and it’s important that a place like St. Andrew’s continues to thrive in our city.”

Stewart Hood is founder and CEO of Culleywood Capital, a Community Development Financial Institution that provides private credit and equity financing to businesses and organizations in low-income communities.

FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT

FISCAL YEAR 2024-25

HEADING INTO THE 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR, ST. ANDREW’S ENROLLMENT NUMBERS ARE STRONG, putting the school in a favorable position budget-wise. St. Andrew’s was able to provide 4% salary adjustments for all faculty and staff. Nearly two-thirds of faculty received additional salary increases to align more closely with the local market.

LAST SCHOOL YEAR WAS favorable financially for St. Andrew’s. Thanks to positive net tuition revenue, effective expense management, and lower than expected health insurance costs, the school was able to replenish more than $600,000 in our Facility and Health Insurance Reserves. The reserve accounts were depleted the prior year following a number of unforeseen circumstances. First, the school’s health and liability insurance premiums rose drastically –by nearly half a million dollars in total – in response to hardening market conditions for liability insurance and unexpected, high-cost healthcare claims. Additionally, both campuses suffered storm damages that were not fully covered by insurance. Having ample cash in reserve is critical for the school’s financial security.

Philanthropic support continues to be crucial to St. Andrew’s success. Generous donors have contributed more than $16 million to date to build the new Lower School, one of the most exciting projects in St. Andrew’s history. A continuing driver of support is the Annual Fund, which brought in $611,588* last year. The Annual Fund allows teachers and administrators to say “yes” to unbudgeted opportunities, including

the robotics program, support for the performing arts, a new 15-passenger van, and security enhancements at the North Campus. Without philanthropic support, these initiatives would not have been possible. St. Andrew’s is looking forward to another strong year.

MEET CALLIE STEWART

This financial snapshot was provided by St. Andrew’s Head of Finance and Operations Callie Stewart. A former educator, Stewart taught in inner city Atlanta with Teach for America, and has also worked in healthcare administration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and UMMC. A native of Lake Providence, Louisiana, Stewart holds an undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University and an MBA and MHA from Georgia State University. She and her husband, David, have three children at St. Andrew’s, Charlie (1st grade), Ruth (Pre-K4), and Salley (Foundations).

$12,764,243

The annual draw amount is equal to 4% of the threeyear quarterly average of the market value. The majority of the endowment is restricted to specific programs and/or causes (financial aid, arts program) and must be spent accordingly.

The Facility Reserve is used to fund unexpected facility-related expenditures that arise during the year. The reserve is critical due to St. Andrew’s two-campus model, as well as the aged Lower School building. The Facility Reserve is replenished with any remaining operating funds which are not used at the end of the year. Recent examples of expenditures include replacing the deck connecting Lois Kennedy Hall to the playground, repaving some North Campus roads, and unexpected plumbing issues underground.

FINDING A WAY

2024-25 ANNUAL FUND

THE ST. ANDREW’S COMMUNITY ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT AND ITS GENEROSITY, RAISING AN IMPRESSIVE $638,675.

Mona ’98 and Kris Graham led the 2024-2025 effort as campaign chairs.

“As St. Andrew’s parents, Kris and I have seen how instrumental the Annual Fund is in setting St. Andrew’s apart and the edge it gives our students and faculty,” Mona Graham, who also serves as a St. Andrew’s trustee, says. “The best part of chairing the Annual Fund was seeing the unbelievable generosity of our St. Andrew’s community. Our parents, faculty and staff, alumni, trustees, and many others gave their time, treasure, and talents to make this a successful year.”

The Grahams’ children, Mila (class of 2029), Luke Graham (class of 2031) and Ashna Graham (class of 2036), did have one issue with their parent’s service as chairs.

“Our children felt strongly that since the Annual Fund was responsible for bringing Minnie, the Lower School dog, to St. Andrew’s, she really should have lived in our home for the year we chaired.”

IN 2024-25, ANNUAL FUND GIFTS SUPPORTED:

• Professional development for faculty and staff

JOB WELL DONE THANK YOU FOR A

St. Andrew’s bids a fond farewell to five departing faculty members who invested a combined 81 years in St. Andrew’s and its students. Thank you for your service, your loyalty, and for sharing your talents with our community.

JANIE BOWEN • 22 YEARS

Lower School Teacher, Pre-K4 Teacher, Early Childhood Center Librarian, Early Childhood Art/ Science Teacher

Favorite Memory:

On my first day at St. Andrew’s, I was scared to death. When I reported for new faculty orientation, there was a tech portion of the meeting, which was not my strength. I smiled and nodded, but I had no idea what I was doing. I called my husband and told him I’d been given my own laptop, and his reply was “Well Janie, that’s great, but do you know how to open it?” My dear friend, Angie Smith, who taught across the hall, kindly gifted me a CD titled “How to Type for Beginners.”

What I’ll miss the most:

The children and their unconditional love and laughter. I’ll also miss my colleagues, who have become my dearest friends. It was amazing working side-by-side with colleagues, sharing ideas, and knowing that we would find a way. St. Andrew’s is a family that supports, cares for, and respects one another.

What I won’t miss at all:

That 6:00 a.m. alarm! I live three miles from the school, but I could not get there on time. (Of course, I always blamed the traffic light on Meadowbrook.)

Most important lesson learned from St. Andrew’s: You’re never too old to accept new challenges and learn new things. After all, as one of my art/science Pre-K4 students told her mother, “Mrs. Bowen knows everything. She’s a scientist!”

JESSICA FARRIS • 14 YEARS Kindergarten Assistant, Lower School Art Teacher

Favorite Memory:

“As a kindergarten assistant, I had a wonderful class of artistic, smart, funny, theatrical, authentic, selfaware children. But a disproportionately large number of them also had a weird – okay, a disgusting – quirk: eating boogers. One day, I finally asked the class very seriously, “Why do y’all eat your boogers?” A hush fell over the room. Then, with a massive grin, Liam Coffey exclaimed, “Because they taste good!” and the whole class burst into laughter. That story inspired a picture book draft. That class graduated in 2025, so it’s only fitting I’m moving onto a new adventure alongside them.

What I’ll miss the most:

Seeing the joy, excitement, and eagerness on a child’s face when, in some tiny way, you’ve helped them feel safe, loved, inspired, and empowered.

Most important lesson learned from St. Andrew’s: As adults, we see the world as we’ve been conditioned to see it. Children have an amazing ability to see the world afresh if we don’t limit their sight to ours. That’s where imagination, innovation, and possibilities lie. I see the amazing things my former students are doing, and I want to continue evolving as they are so inspiringly doing!

Parting thoughts:

I hope St. Andrew’s continues to be a Wonderland for students for years to come, and I’m glad I was able to be a small part of it.

VALERIE PRADO • 10 YEARS

Lower School Math Teacher, Middle School Math Teacher, Swim Coach, Math Department Coordinator, Malone Schools Online Network German Teacher

Favorite Memory:

One of my sweetest memories was May Day one year with my fourth graders. Before walking out on the field to wrap the pole, the fourth graders met in their classrooms in their May Day whites. The first student came in and presented me with a red rose. The next student also came in with a red rose, and it continued with every student after that. At the end I had a beautiful bouquet of red roses, one rose from each of my students. I felt so touched and so loved!

What I’ll miss the most:

Seeing my students smile after solving a tricky math problem, laughing with colleagues during lunch, celebrating with my swimmers after winning the state championship, and connecting with parents. St. Andrew’s has been the center of my life for so many years.

Most important lesson learned from St. Andrew’s:

Patience and kindness go a long way. Being able to adapt and find flexible ways of teaching will result in higher achievement and more fun for everyone than sticking with a strict teaching plan. Not everything goes as originally planned, but new learning opportunities are always guaranteed!

STACY

SULLIVAN ’82 • 19 YEARS

Assistant Lower School Fitness Teacher, Softball Coach, Volleyball Coach, Middle School Girls Basketball Coach, Bowling Coach, Lower School Intramural Sports Coordinator

Favorite Memories: I have St. Andrew’s memories as a student, a parent of two graduates, a grandparent, and as a teacher and

coach. Some of my favorite memories as a coach have been seeing the students’ eyes light up when I introduced a new game for them to play, or seeing a student’s disappointment when they couldn’t do one push-up at the beginning of the year change to excitement when they finished the year doing a dozen good push-ups.

What I’ll miss the most:

My students, my colleagues and the whole St. Andrew’s community, most of all on Friday mornings when we would gather for chapel. Lower School chapel was always the balance between the hectic pace of school life and pausing for prayer and reflection on the things and relationships that matter most.

Most important lesson learned from St. Andrew’s: I was always challenged at St. Andrew’s. I learned as much or even more from my students and players than I taught them. The most important lesson I learned was to never stop working to get the best out of each student, and to always keep things fun and engaging.

PATTY WOLF • 16 YEARS

Kindergarten Teacher, Pre-K4 Teacher, Second Grade Teacher, Enrichment Teacher, Enrichment Summer Specialty Camp Instructor, Enrichment Specialty Workshop Instructor

Favorite Memory:

Just before school shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, I had started a sunflower seed planting project in the Pre-K4 classroom. I brought everything home with me and we continued the process virtually. I labeled each plant with a child’s name and watered daily while I was on a Zoom call with each child. The kids were so excited and amazed to see their seedlings grow into strong sunflower plants! Many of them transplanted them into their own gardens once I was able to deliver them to their homes.

What I’ll miss the most: The hugs.

What I won’t miss at all: Carpool duty in 20-degree weather!

Most important lesson learned from St. Andrew’s: The most important lesson I learned from St. Andrew’s is one I learned over and over – don’t ever lower the bar. Keep your expectations high. They will be met.

Parting thoughts:

My time at St. Andrew’s brought such joy and meaning into my life. I will always carry with me the students, families, and friends that crossed my path. And while I’m retiring from classroom teaching, I’m grateful and excited to continue my role as an enrichment teacher.

DOCTOR ORDERED

MAKING HIS PARENTS PROUD

Arun Patel holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from M.I.T., an M.D. from the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Medicine, a master’s degree in bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, and a law degree from Stanford University.

In introducing Dr. Patel at the Alumni Awards Dinner, Arjun Srinivasan, ’88, his longtime friend and previous Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, said, “It should come as no surprise that Arun would go on to become not just a doctor, but also a lawyer and a medical ethicist, giving Indian children everywhere new ways to disappoint our parents.”

AN ACCOMPLISHED HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVE, LEGAL EXPERT, AND BIOETHICS SCHOLAR, DR.

PATEL HAS BUILT A CAREER THAT COMBINES HIS PASSIONS FOR MEDICINE, LAW, ETHICS, AND SERVICE. JUST

PATEL IS THE DIRECTOR OF PATIENT SAFETY AND clinical risk management at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), the second-largest public health system in the country. DHS includes four hospitals and 25 health centers and surgery centers, and treats some 500,000 patients each year.

“In the simplest terms, my job is to prevent bad things from accidentally happening to our patients,” Patel says. “This includes the worst things you hear about, like doctors operating on the wrong body part, giving people the wrong medication, or missing a diagnosis. My job is to try to prevent those kinds of errors from happening, and to deal with it if they do.”

PATEL LAUNCHED two transformative programs at DHS, “Just Cause,” and “Helping Healers Heal”.

Patel launched two transformative programs at DHS, “Just Cause,” which focuses on addressing medical errors with transparency and compassion, and “Helping Healers Heal,” a framework for supporting medical staff when adverse events occur.

“Many times, patients decide to sue because they weren’t treated kindly, no one told them what happened, and they think someone is withholding information,” Patel says.

Just Cause creates a new path toward resolution for cases in which the healthcare system is at fault. DHS acknowledges fault, apologizes to the patient or family, and works directly with the patient or family to reach a just settlement. The Helping Healers Heal program offers support for doctors and healthcare practitioners involved in these and other stressful situations.

“If we want to make healthcare safer and better, we

have to have open conversations so we can examine what went wrong and change processes to prevent it from happening again,” Patel says. “And obviously, the right thing to do is to be honest with patients and families.” Patel dealt with skeptics when rolling out the programs, including DHS’s in-house legal team, who “thought it was nonsense.” Patel proved the skeptics wrong. In the three years since he was named director of patient safety and clinical risk management, DHS has seen an 85% reduction in medical malpractice claims and costs. The mental and emotional toll on patients, families, and healthcare practitioners has also been reduced. Dr. Patel is helping lead the adoption of efforts like Just Cause and Helping Healers Heal nationwide.

In true St. Andrew’s fashion, Patel has found and made ways to do what many considered impossible –change U. S. healthcare policies to better serve patients. While his career successes are impressive, his guiding values have been kindness, empathy, and a genuine desire to live a life in service to others. According to Patel, his diverse interests and his desire to serve were nurtured at St. Andrew’s.

“I was a St. Andrew’s student when they painted the mural of Erasmus on the wall. We were steeped in the notion of the Renaissance person. I feel like that’s what I became,” Dr. Patel says. “St. Andrew’s shapes who you are. I was a nerdy brown kid in Mississippi in the ’80s. It wasn’t always easy. But St. Andrew’s was the absolute best environment I could have been in. Being that kid in Mississippi at St. Andrew’s made me who I am today.”

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI OF THE YEAR AWARD — The highest honor bestowed upon an alumnus or alumna, the Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes alumni who have made extraordinary personal achievements, professional accomplishments, and significant contributions to the community, arts, sciences, or business. Recipients are individuals whose exemplary lives and activities both benefit society and reflect honor upon St. Andrew’s Episcopal School.

FAMILY TIES

Leslie Baskin is an Alpha Omega graduate and the mother of two St. Andrew’s students, Olivia, class of 2038, and Evelyn, class of 2040. Leslie’s husband, Brad ’03, and her sister, Ashley Wells Hullender ’03, are also Alpha Omega graduates.

ALUMNI AWARDS

THE ART OF

LOYALTY

LESLIE WELLS BASKIN ’06 • THE ST. ANDREW’S LOYALTY AWARD

“LOYALTY MEANS SHOWING UP AND STANDING BY YOUR WORD. IT MEANS BEING CONSISTENT TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT MEANS A LOT TO YOU. ST. ANDREW’S MEANS A LOT TO ME.

IT’S OUR DUTY AS ALUMNI AND AS PARENTS TO MAKE SURE IT HAS AN AMAZING FUTURE.”

WHEN ST. ANDREW’S NEEDS VOLUNTEERS, Leslie Baskin is always the first to raise a hand. Baskin is helping make the way for the new Lower School as a capital campaign cabinet member, and also served on the Celebrate Wonderland event committee. She has given generously of her time as a room parent and SAPA board member. Baskin also contributes her talents as a gifted artist and graphic designer, creating invitations, flyers, posters, and other materials for St. Andrew’s and SAPA events.

Prior to opening her own design studio, Baskin nurtured the next generation of artists as St. Andrew’s Upper School graphic design and studio art instructor.

“My mother did those things because she loved my sister and me, but she also did those things because she loved St. Andrew’s and what it stands for,” Baskin says.

“TEACHING AT ST. ANDREW’S WAS SURREAL AT FIRST.

“I remember her telling us, ‘Even though you’re benefiting from this, it’s not just for you. I’m doing this for the generations coming up.’ She knew her actions would go beyond her two girls and impact this community for many years to come.

I was 22, not much older than the students.

Jerry Goodwin had been my favorite art teacher, and when I came back as a teacher, we shared an office.

The hardest thing was learning to call Mrs. Patrick ‘Donna’ and Mrs. Chadwick ‘Julia.’”

“Teaching at St. Andrew’s was surreal at first. I was 22, not much older than the students. Jerry Goodwin had been my favorite art teacher, and when I came back as a teacher, we shared an office. The hardest thing was learning to call Mrs. Patrick ‘Donna’ and Mrs. Chadwick ‘Julia.’”

The meaning of loyalty was modeled for Baskin by her late mother, Marsha McCarty Wells, who served on the St. Andrew’s Board of Trustees and on the cabinets of the capital campaigns that built the Center for Performing Arts and the track.

“As I look back, I understand that by showing up and being a leader, my mother was showing her loyalty and love to this community,” Baskin says. “That’s what I’ve tried to do as a St. Andrew’s alumni and parent. I hope to live up to the standard of loyalty and love my mother set.”

THE ONLY SENIOR WHO DIDN’T LOSE HER MARBLES

The class of ’06 chose commencement as the perfect time for a senior prank. As the head of school handed each student his or her diploma, the graduate slipped a marble into his hand. “He didn’t know what to do with all these marbles,” Baskin recalls with a laugh. “He was sticking them in his pockets, he was dropping them on the grass, he was trying to get rid of them without making a scene. I did not hand him a marble. I’d say I was trying to behave, but I was really just too chicken to do it.”

THE ST. ANDREW’S LOYALTY AWARD — The St. Andrew’s Loyalty Award honors St. Andrew’s alumni who, in deed or action, reflect and recognize the importance of being an alumnus or alumna of St. Andrew’s; who demonstrate pride in their alma mater; and whose interest and loyalty are evident by their significant, notable, and meritorious contributions toward the advancement of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School. One alumnus or alumna is recognized each year.

A FAMILY WRAPPED IN BLUE & WHITE

Perry Goldsbury’s wife, Jessica Goldsbury, is St. Andrew’s Middle and Upper School nurse.

The couple has two children, first grader Oliver and pre-K4 student Jude.

GOING FOR THE GOLDSBURY “I

’ve seen the power of sports change people’s lives,” says Perry Goldsbury, St. Andrew’s new director of athletics. “My vision is to use that power to grow the community and school spirit here at St. Andrew’s.”

Goldsbury, who stepped into his new leadership position on June 1, was already known in the St. Andrew’s community as a leader in the classroom and on the field. He joined the St. Andrew’s faculty in 2018 as a 7thgrade science teacher and in 2021, was named head boys’ soccer coach. Originally from England, Goldsbury relocated to the United States to play collegiate soccer. He holds an undergraduate degree in exercise science from the University of Texas–Brownsville and a master’s in advanced exercise physiology from Mississippi College, where he also served as a graduate assistant for the men’s soccer team.

“SPORTS HAS A GREAT WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL.”

“Giving younger students more opportunities to play and increasing engagement will help develop more and better athletes once they move into high school, but that’s not the only outcome,” Goldsbury says. “Strengthening athletics at the Lower School level also provides St. Andrew’s families more opportunities to come together, and fosters school spirit across the divisions. I’ve seen how important sports are in the South, not just for the athletes and for enrollment, but to school communities. I love Friday night football here.” His drive to offer more athletic options for younger students also comes from personal experience. Goldsbury began playing sports at the age of six, and credits his athletic experiences with instilling the selfconfidence he has today.

In addition to his work at St. Andrew’s, Goldsbury served as the director of coaching for four years with Mississippi Rush, the largest recreational soccer program in the state. Perry led a coaching staff of over 40, building valuable skills that will transfer to his leadership role at St. Andrew’s.

“My experience with Mississippi Rush included creating initiatives to engage more participants,” Goldsbury says. “I also have extensive experience working with parents and coaches, which I believe will be very helpful in my work as director of athletics.”

Goldsbury hit the ground running with a plan to grow athletic opportunities across all divisions. One of his first steps has been expanding the Lower School athletics program to offer younger students more opportunities to participate. Goldsbury launched two new intramural offerings at the Lower School – flag football and soccer – and revamped intramural basketball to better fit the abilities and needs of Lower School students and families.

“I was a shy child, but sports gave me a belief in myself, which translated throughout my life and certainly helped lead me to the position I’m in now,” Goldsbury says. “Today, with the influx of technology, that’s especially important. Many young children lack interpersonal skills. Sports has a great way of bringing people together and teaching people how to work together to achieve a common goal.”

Goldsbury looks forward to building on the tradition of excellence that’s earned St. Andrew’s Mississippi’s All-Sports Award a record 27 times.

“As a coach, I’ve always demanded excellence from my players. I’ll be working hard to set a new standard of excellence for myself in all areas of our athletic department. Go Saints!”

COD SAVE THE QUEEN — Perry Goldsbury relocated from England to the United States when he was 18, but he still craves his favorite English meal, fish and chips. One thing he doesn’t miss is England’s dreary weather; Goldsbury will take Mississippi’s heat and humidity over the clouds, rain, and cold any day.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS

WILLIAM CHISM ’11

Football, Basketball

William Chism jokes that “everyone was relieved when I retired from basketball,” but his success on the football field led him to be named an honorary “captain for life.” Chism went on to play offensive line at Yale University, where he started 30 consecutive games and was named Academic All-Ivy despite an injury that sidelined him for most of his junior year.

“That injury drove home the reality that our time to play is short, and you have to appreciate every opportunity while it lasts,” Chism says. “St. Andrew’s always emphasized academics first, but that experience gave me a deeper perspective on the balance between athletics and the rest of life.”

Chism earned an MBA from Harvard University. Today, he leads River Remedy, a Mississippi-based medical cannabis company that includes St. Andrew’s alumni as investors and employees. Chism divides his time between Jackson and West Palm Beach, Florida, where he lives with his partner, Lauren, and their dog, Boscoe, whom Chism says are “both much better athletes than I am.”

THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON CHISM learned from St. Andrew’s?“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

ASHTON KING-FINNEN ’10

Fast Pitch Softball, Slow Pitch Softball, Basketball

For Ashton King-Finnen, St. Andrew’s athletics were a family affair – her father is longtime coach Burney King. King-Finnen’s most vivid memory from her high school career was a softball playoff game in which she dislocated her shoulder –then popped it back into place herself while running down the baseline.

King-Finnen attended undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Mississippi, and is the child nutrition director for the South Panola School District. She lives in Oxford with her husband, Jake, and their children, Jake II and Charlotte. While her playing days are limited to an occasional game of HORSE with her husband, King-Finnen has never forgotten the life lessons she learned from St. Andrew’s athletics.

“Sports taught me that it often takes work outside of practice – and outside of the eight-hour work day – to achieve your goals,” King-Finnen says.

“ONE OF THE BIGGEST LESSONS I LEARNED is that personal awards don’t really matter. What you remember most are the times you shared with teammates and the work ethic you developed along the way.”

CONWAY CRAIG ’07 Football, Baseball

Conway Craig’s most memorable moments from his high school sports career are spring break baseball trips with the teammates who were also his close friends and a standout senior year that included trips to the South State Championship games as a member of both the baseball and football teams.

“I LEARNED MANY LIFE LESSONS FROM St. Andrew’s sports, but the three that stand out the most are teamwork, time management, and accountability.”

Craig graduated from Mississippi State University. He is the general manager of Cathead Distillery in Jackson. Craig and his wife, Melissa, have two daughters, Myers and Georgia.

SAINTS FANS ENTERING STRIBLING FIELD will walk past impressive new brick signage honoring members of the St. Andrew’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Thanks to The Scott Family for making this recognition for Saints athletes possible.

THE BELLS OF ST. ANDREW’S

Will ever that St. Andrew’s bells

Ring bright with sweet allure

In bronze and brilliant resonance

Of days long past and fore.

For as the bells do guide our way They set the Saint apart— A thirsty will to seek and find With humbleness of heart.

And how the tolling bells resound In concord with this world With archways stretching ever on As knowledge be unfurled.

But most of all the bells ring true Through harmony and strife Reminding us to ever more Make meaningful this life.

So cherish thine St. Andrew’s bells That ring their noble chime And resonate in of all of us Through porticos of time!

Jean Jones

Former Faculty/Staff

March 8, 1939 – January 16, 2025

Jean Jones, former teacher and head of St. Andrew’s Lower School, died on January 16, 2025, leaving behind thousands of alumni shaped by her wisdom, dedication, and love.

Jean graduated from Emory University and began her teaching career in Atlanta before relocating to Jackson in 1973. Jean earned a master’s degree in early education from Mississippi College while working full time and raising two young children, and later received a post graduate degree in school administration.

Jean began teaching first and second grade at St. Andrew’s in the late 1970s. She moved into administration in the early 1990s, serving as assistant head of Lower School, then as head of Lower School. Over her 32 years at St. Andrew’s, her students were her passion and her colleagues benefitted from her genuine care and wise counsel. When Jean retired, the St. Andrew’s community dedicated the Lower School chapel in her honor as the Jean Jones Chapel. In her retirement, Jean taught reading part time at Jackson Academy and enjoyed once again engaging with St. Andrew’s students by working in the Upper School Library.

Jean never passed on the opportunity to explore the world, traveling to Asia, Fiji, England, Iceland, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, France, Scotland, and Italy. She was a patron of the arts, including ballet, opera, and theatre, and enjoyed pilates, bunco, her book club, cooking, and dinner with friends. Jean loved her church community at St. James Episcopal, where she participated in altar guild and served as a lector. She was a graduate of EFM and Daughters of the King.

Jean was a firm believer Luke 12:48, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be expected.” She volunteered with the Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi Children’s Museum, Leadership Jackson, Ballet Mississippi, International Ballet Competition, and Hospice Ministries.

Jean was pre-deceased by her daughter, Jennifer Olander, and her granddaughter, Anna Marie Olander. She is survived by her daughter Cathy Schulz (Dave), three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She was also blessed with many lifetime friends who referred to her affectionately as “Queen Jean.” Donations in Jean’s honor may be made to St. James Episcopal Church or St. Andrew’s Episcopal School.

ONE OF ST. ANDREW’S MOST BELOVED TRADITIONS IS MAY DAY.

The school’s unique celebration of spring began in the 1950s as part of a fundraiser held by the Triangle Club, the predecessor of today’s St. Andrew’s Parents’ Association. The Triangle Club had long held an annual cake sale and tea. In the mid-1950s, the event was expanded to include entertainment advertised as “St. Andrew’s students dancing around the maypole for the pleasure of the shoppers and tea sippers.”

Over the years, the cake sale and tea faded into memories, but May Day grew into a larger event, marked by songs and dances, the applause of excited parents

and grandparents, and fourth graders celebrating their passage from Lower School to Middle School by wrapping the maypole.

On May 5, 2025, students wrapped the pole one last time on the former May Day field, now the site of the construction of the new Lower School building. To accommodate the construction of the new Lower School building, May Day 2026 festivities will take place on the edge of Lake Sherwood Wise on the North Campus.

St. Andrew’s dug deep into the vault to find this WLBT news footage from May Day 1983, introduced by late, legendary newscaster Bert Case and reported by Maggie Wade.

THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING!
