Father in Heaven, whose son Jesus Christ took children into his arms and blessed them; Bless, we pray, the students of All Saints Episcopal School. Grant that we may grow up reverently in your love; Give us day by day strength and guidance; So that we may continue in your love and service until our lives end. Grant this for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.

All Saints Episcopal School is a community of excellence, based on Christian values, preparing students to serve and transform the world.


“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” WARREN BUFFETT

LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL & BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT As we reflect on the celebration of our school’s 70th anniversary, I am filled with both pride and gratitude for the way our community came together to honor this significant milestone. The installation of new members into the Hall of Saints, the commemorative chapel services, the old-fashioned field day, and the Parent Association’s highly successful gala were not only joyful occasions but also meaningful tributes to the enduring spirit of our institution. Collectively, these moments created memories that will carry forward for generations to come. Our founding families, who more than seventy years ago envisioned a school rooted in faith, academic excellence, and community, would be proud to see how their vision has flourished. Today, that vision is realized in a school that is nurturing, forward-thinking, and thriving— an institution that continues to prepare students for lives of purpose and leadership. This milestone reminds us that our present strength is built upon the foundation laid by many who came before us. The dedication and generosity of founding families, past trustees, faculty, alumni, parents, and benefactors have sustained and advanced our mission. We stand on their shoulders as we carry forward the legacy of excellence entrusted to us. Looking ahead, we are confident that this trajectory will endure. Our commitment to academic distinction, spiritual formation, and community remains steadfast, ensuring that our school will continue to flourish in the decades to come. With deep gratitude, Scootie Clark

The All Saints Vikings proudly celebrated another successful year of growth, achievement, and good sportsmanship, while providing opportunities for our spirited spectators to cheer on their favorite team!

Volleyball Our volleyball teams showed heart, grit, and determination this year. They were a group of athletes who refused to quit, grew stronger with every game, and showed incredible sportsmanship from start to finish. Both the “A” and “B” team finished the season in 3rd place.

Volleyball A

Soccer From the first whistle to the final goal, this team brought energy, discipline, and teamwork to every match. Each player stepped up, whether it was making key plays on the field, or encouraging teammates from the sidelines. They finished the season as league champions! Cross Country We had 21 runners on the team, and they competed in four meets this year (Bridge City, Dayton, Community Christian and Liberty). We had 11 different runners earn a medal at a meet. The boy’s team placed 1st overall in the Bridge City and Community Christian meet, and the girls placed 1st overall in the Community Christian meet.

Volleyball B

Girls Basketball The “B” team finished with a league record of 8 wins and 4 losses which placed them in 2nd place overall, and the “A” team finished with a league record of 4 wins and 4 losses and placed 2nd overall as well. Boys Basketball Both boys teams had an outstanding season. The “B” team finished their season with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. The “A” team won 7 of their last 8 games to finish their season with a record of 18 wins and 3 losses. They placed 1st in the St. Anne tournament and 3rd in the All Saints tournament. For the first time in the history of All Saints, both teams placed first in the league.

Soccer

Softball This softball season was one of growth, with seven of the nine players being new to the team. They worked hard and many girls learned positions they have never played. From game one to the final out, our players faced every challenge with determination and heart. They finished the season in 2nd place in the league. Golf The golf team played in 6 tournaments and had a tremendous season! They brought home 35 individual medals with 7 different golfers earning medals. We had golfers place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in five of the six tournaments. Tennis The tennis team competed in 5 tournaments. We had 10 players earn medals which included 1st and 2nd place in doubles, as well as 1st place in singles for every tournament.
