In Honor of

The Class of 2018 The 179th Commencement of Episcopal High School was a joyous celebration of an exemplary class. Head Monitor Taylor Redd ’18 welcomed those gathered, and Senior Warden of the Vestry Christian Wright ’18 delivered the invocation. Before the presentation of awards and diplomas, Head of School Charley Stillwell addressed the seniors, their families, and friends.

Excerpts from Head of School Charley Stillwell’s Commencement Address

“Sitting in front of you are outstanding students across all our academic disciplines; These seniors understand the amazing musicians, singers, actors, and importance of personal honor, artists; 23 athletes who will continue curiosity, hard work, collaborative competing in their sports in college; and problem-solving, and the pursuit of caring servant leaders winning awards for chances both great and small to their impact on the Alexandria community.

“As both a senior parent and as Head of School, I have so enjoyed watching these impressive young people grow and mature together, and these seniors will always have a very special place in my heart. Since dropmake a positive difference “They have competed with spirit and character ping Janie off on that first day in Harrison in the lives of others. and supported each other in a way that led the three years ago and being greeted in a loud and ISL to name Episcopal as this year’s winner of the enthusiastic manner by new sophomores Sophie Blackman Award for the best sportsmanship exhibited by Singletary and Bijée Jackson, I quickly realized what a a school community — players and fans — throughout the special group these seniors are. entire year.

“Many of these seniors arrived at Episcopal with well-estab“I have very much appreciated the creative flair and sense lished gifts and talents. What I love about Episcopal, however, of fun that these seniors have exhibited.

worked hard to expand our array of weekend activities to ensure that engaging and inclusive community-building moments could be found by all.

“This class has also worked hard to make Episcopal the very best place it can be. They have played integral roles in new community-building moments like our International Week activities, the Winter Ice Ball, and the new May Day study break before exams. They have developed creative videos highlighting how best to treat each other on campus. In this time when society around us has become increasingly divided and partisan, our Young Republicans and our Young Democrats Clubs have worked together, both to bring interesting speakers to campus for a broader group of students to encounter and to address important topics in our school publications.

“As this group leaves us this morning and heads out to new adventures and challenges, I am excited to know that they will be guided by the many lessons they have learned here through the close and meaningful relationships that they have developed with all the adults here and with each other.

These seniors understand the importance of personal honor,

curiosity, hard work, collaborative problem-solving, and the pursuit of chances both great and small to make a positive difference in the lives of others. They have also gained the confidence through their many experiences in Washington to handle all kinds of situations.

“Seniors, I hope that as you depart today, you will carry with you the advice and wisdom that you shared with each other this year in your outstanding senior chapel talks and also in the moments you spent with visitors here on campus. In these chapel moments you talked about the importance of not allowing yourself to be defined by what others may see as a flaw or limitation. You encouraged each other to bounce back from disappointments, to believe in your own voice and path, to seek your own approach to faith and prayer, and to look for those moments when you can make things better for those around you. As Integrity in Action honoree Wes Moore reminded you last week, the most important questions you will face in the years ahead are not just what you have achieved or how well you have done, but whether you will have the courage to stand for the hard right against the easy wrong at some cost to yourself.”

WHY ARE WE HERE? On June 1, the community assembled in Callaway Chapel for the Baccalaureate Service led by the Rev. John Barrett, father of Henry Barrett ’18.

Excerpts from the Rev. John Barrett’s Baccalaureate Sermon

“We can see many of those characteristics that Williams mentions still alive in the EHS of today, a school that has stayed true to much of its mission for 179 years.”

THE PERSONAL

“We gather to reflect upon your days here and to acknowledge the challenges that you have overcome, the learning that you have achieved, the friendships and memories that you have made, and the sense of community that you have experienced.

“You have passed through adolescence and, nearly, into a new phase of maturity and opportunity.

You are equipped with so much more than that with which you arrived at The High School.”

THE THEOLOGICAL

You have experienced a community that has poured into you what it believes is most essential to prepare you to be a whole person.

THE INSTITUTIONAL

“Perhaps some 15 years ago, a book came my way written by one of your former headmasters. It is simply titled The High School, and subtitled A History of the Episcopal High School in Virginia at Alexandria. It was written by Richard Pardee Williams, Jr. and published in 1964.

“Williams refers to the ‘dominant characteristics of the school.’

I mention a few. It was a pioneer in athletics. It upheld high scholastic ideals. A number of alumni went into the ministry.

The founders believed that education was to serve one’s cultural side, not solely to increase one’s earning power. Honor and truth were held as critical.”

Summer 2018

“Amidst all of the excitement and activity of this weekend, we make time to gather in this hallowed place to thank God and to praise Him for his part in bringing you through to this moment, of getting you here to this time. You students have had the benefit of coming to this chapel to reflect upon how He provides and guides, corrects and redirects, trains and sustains.

He has done this through His Word, through His Spirit, through this community.”

THE EXISTENTIAL

“Seniors, in the years ahead, when you try to remember your purpose, it will help to think back upon how this community lived out its purpose in you.

Education is a very intensive, time-consuming, relationship-oriented endeavor. You have experienced a community that has poured into you what it believes is most essential to prepare you to be a whole person.

“We live in a world that has so much promise and yet that seems so unstable. My encouragement to you is to ever remember the main purpose of living out a life of loving God and your fellow man as a means of fulfilling who you are, wherever you go and whatever you do.”

LIFTING EACH OTHER UP Students were honored for their academic, artistic, and athletic achievements at Valedictory on June 1. Anna Smith ’18 was selected by her classmates to deliver the Valedictory address.

Excerpts from the Valedictory Address

by Anna Smith ’18 “The same way you may have that little, misleading voice whispering into your ear to watch another episode of The Office even though it’s already past midnight and you have to get up at 7:00, for a long time I was obsessed with a similar voice in my head that told me I was going to fail. Whatever task it was, however many times I had practiced, or however long I had spent preparing, when the moment came, I was convinced that I couldn’t do it.

It’s taken time, but I have learned to feel energized by other people and not to obsess over my weaknesses, instead focusing on my strengths.

“But sometimes it is just really difficult not to compare yourself to others, especially here at EHS where we have so many talented and engaged people. Just think of Mady Hand, who makes time to participate in every community event and extracurricular activity; or Doris Li, whose presence and music on stage is truly amazing; or Ricky Miezan, who is going on to play Division I football after picking up the sport his junior year; or Corbin Ellington, who already speaks every language on the planet and has gone on to invent a fascinating language of his own.

“The point of my sharing this is that being surrounded by talented people can be incredibly inspiring; but sometimes it can also amplify our own insecurities. Personally, it’s not that I was bitter about the great qualities and achievements of my brother and others around me, or that I was actively trying to compete with them. Instead, to me it seemed like all around me people were setting standards that were so high, I felt as though I could never live up to them.

“But over the course of my time at Episcopal, I have learned to get outside of my head and enjoy myself without worrying about every little detail. It’s taken time, but I have learned to feel energized by other people and not to obsess over my weaknesses, instead focusing on my strengths.

“Many of my courses, especially Dr. Krivacek’s Advanced Bio class, were so undeniably interesting that at some point I was no longer studying or paying attention in class in pursuit of a perfect grade, but instead because I was deeply invested in what I was learning. Other times, I was enthralled by my love of photography and the creative freedom and expression it brings me. Soon I felt that passion was becoming a stronger influence in my academics, and I began to find joy in the time I spent in the classroom.

“I had finally reached a point where I didn’t need to closely examine the accomplishments of others just so I could remind myself of all that I wasn’t achieving myself. Instead, I was beginning to feel uplifted by other people’s moments in the spotlight.

“But, to emphasize once more, this journey only took place once I stopped thinking too much about myself, and realized that there is so much to learn from others. And I of course owe this transformation to this place and to all of you.”

Cum Laude Society Founded in 1906, the Cum Laude Society recognizes juniors and seniors for outstanding academic performance.

Twenty-five EHS juniors and seniors were inducted into the Cum Laude Society during a special service on Family Weekend in April. Current members and Episcopal faculty selected these students for their academic achievements and strength of character.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Alex Jones ’64 delivered the day’s address, during which he shared recollections of Episcopal’s integration, memories of a trek through the deserts of Africa, and reflections on his wife’s death from cancer.

Jones offered the community five pieces of advice: Take time for the old folks and record them; face your fears and be true to yourselves; pursue joy; try the “deathbed theory of life” for making the big, hard decisions; and, have no regrets.

The induction and address are available to watch on LocalLive at https://locallive.tv/archives/26653.

Arts Highlights Students shared their musical and theatrical talents with the community in Breeden Blackbox Theater, in Callaway Chapel, in Pendleton Hall, and for the very first time, in Laird Acres!

The spring play, Peter/Wendy, transported the audience to Neverland, via Episcopal’s very own Laird Acres. “Being able to step outside of the theatre and explore our beautiful campus was a real treat,” said Bill Patti, theater director. “The students really embraced being outdoors and using nature to retell the time-tested story of Peter Pan.”

Athletics Highlights The Class of 2018 cheered as hard as they competed, sustaining a long tradition of success and sportsmanship in EHS athletics. Eighteen members of this year’s senior class participated in athletics during every season of their time at EHS. These student-athletes were recognized for commitment to athletics with the prestigious Robert Wiatt Farrar Award presented at Commencement (see page 10).

Over the course of their four years at EHS, the Class of 2018 reveled in one state championship win and 13 league titles; two wins, one loss, and a tie for the coveted Seminary Hill Cup; and a home win over Woodberry Forest in “The Game” to cap off their time on The Holy Hill. The class earned a remarkable 81 All-State or All-League honors over the past four years, and 23 members of the class plan to continue their athletic careers in college (see page 37).

Summer 2018

The 2017-18 school year was marked by numerous athletics highlights, including a historic year for the track and field team, whose members set 12 school records during the indoor and outdoor seasons. The strong tradition of relay success lived on, with a state title win in the girls’ 4 x 800-meter races at both the indoor and outdoor championships.

This year also saw impressive achievements at the national level. The boys’ varsity squash team advanced to the US Squash High School National Championships; a record number of track and field athletes qualified to compete in the New Balance High School Indoor Nationals; and the girls’ crew team competed at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America National Championships Regatta, where they finished seventh in the nation.

Every day I arrived at the Small Mammal House at 7:00 am, where I cleaned the glass windows and fed and interacted with the animals. Afterwards, I would prep their evening meal and the next day’s morning meal. When that was finished, we got to prepare toys filled with treats as enrichment; seeing the animals play with them was so rewarding.

As a young black female aspiring to be a mechanical engineer, Loring was my first glance at what engineering in the real world is like. My decision to study engineering came with the understanding that I would be entering a male-dominated field, and I was ready.

Even though Loring was a predominately male office, I had female mentors to help me along the way. The days on site were definitely my favorite. I got the chance to see all the drawings and designs I had been working on and learning about come to life. It was an amazing experience that confirmed my decision to do engineering.

My externship gave me the opportunity to explore passions I had developed at Episcopal, while simultaneously applying the knowledge and work ethic that Episcopal has instilled in me in a professional setting.

I got an inside look into the professional world, and also had a chance to reflect on my own ambitions. The daily commute was one of the most challenging aspects of my externship! The number of people in my office who recognized Episcopal put in perspective just how highly regarded EHS is in the professional world.

I worked at Davis Construction, a general contracting firm, and MGAC, a construction consulting firm. It was an unbelievable experience getting to see construction from a builder’s and owner’s perspective. I got to engage with project teams that are building state-of-the-art work in the Washington, D.C., area. The most exhilarating part of my externship was standing on the rooftop of Capital One’s new Headquarters in McLean, Va., the tallest building in the DMV area and Davis Construction’s largest project yet.

I’m going to miss McGuire the most, as it has become my home the last three years.

I now much prefer being on dorm with the great friends and great atmosphere McGuire provides than in my old room at home. Dorm life and culture will never be the same in college and beyond, and that I will miss the most.

Hampton Massie

FOX STAGE IN PENDLETON HALL

I will miss Ainslie Arts Center and Pendleton’s stage the most. I have grown so much as an artist between those walls, and have made incredible memories while in that building: voice lessons with my voice teacher Mrs. Cara (whom I view as a second mother), rehearsing for the musicals and plays, prepping for various theater competitions, practicing for the Family Weekend showcases, choreographing my own dances, and simply hanging out and having fun with my theater/arts friends.

I’ll miss the building where the memories were made, but I’ll miss the people that helped make them even more.

Julia Messenger 38

CAMPUS BENCHES

DALRYMPLE PATIO

I will miss Dal Patio.

It’s a place where I can hang out with my friends in a relaxing environment. It is also nice because it is in between both a girls’ and boys’ dorm, so it’s a nice place for a coed hang out.

There is something about sitting underneath the stars and EHS lamp posts in the fresh air with five of my best friends that calms me. Without those reality checks, insanely funny memories or late night chats on these benches, my EHS experience would be very different. I won’t miss the physical benches, but rather the experiences, memories, and lifelong friendships that they gave me!

THE FRONT DRIVE

Every time I walk past the front drive I think about how much I’m going to miss Episcopal. It’s such an iconic place on campus and I love watching the trees fade to orange, white, and then green again.

I will miss those evenings grilling up some grub on the Dal Patio for some of my close friends.

HUMMEL BOWL

When I look back on my time at EHS, the Hummel Bowl is where my most profound memories were experienced. There is truly nothing better than brutally defeating Woodberry with your senior class, and the feeling that it was a whole school effort.

Charlie Tarbutton AINSLIE ARTS CENTER

I will dearly miss the painting studio in Ainslie Arts Center. It is in that studio that I realized my passion for the visual arts through mixing paint, collaging cutouts, and mounting canvas. Ainslie is where I matured and discovered my personal creativity.

The place on campus that I’ll miss the most when I graduate is the Hummel Bowl. My best memory in the Hummel Bowl is my senior football season. It may not have been the undefeated season we know that we were capable of, but I do know that not a single person ever left any regrets on that field.

Honoring Service to EHS Outgoing Trustees Sound Off

Alexander H. Bocock ’86

“When I first joined the Board, Townsend Hall was just being completed, and the last capital campaign was in its final stages.

The big capital project during my tenure was the renovation of Stewart Gym. It was so great to see that beautiful old building, whose main uses were for Mass Meetings, Stew-Ball, and dances when I was a student, get a new lease on life.

I served on the Investment Committee for my entire six-year tenure. The most significant decision we made during that time was to bring in Monticello Associates as a consultant to provide a guiding hand to an ever-changing Investment Committee. As a Board member at large, certainly the most consequential decision we made was the selection of Charley Stillwell as the new Head of School. I loved my years of working with Rob Hershey, and it was with trepidation that we launched into the search for a new Head of School. But Charley was the perfect choice. It was amazing to watch how quickly and completely he gained the full confidence and enthusiastic support of the faculty, staff, and Board. Charley’s selection was particularly fun for me having grown up on the same block with Sallie in Richmond.

While I am proud of all that was accomplished in the last six years, I am even more excited for what is coming up. The Strategic Plan, with its emphasis on even more fully integrating Washington, D.C., into the curriculum, will be a game changer for Episcopal. I can’t wait to watch from afar as Episcopal continues its evolution into a world-class boarding school, without parallel.”

Summer 2018

Abney S. Boxley ’76

“As I reflect upon the six years I spent on the Episcopal Board, the word that keeps coming to me is ‘emotional.’ From the initial call to serve from our former Dorm Master Bud Cox, to reconnecting with Head Monitor Billy Peebles, to sitting next to my roommate Howard Smith, to working with classmate Boota deButts on buildings and grounds, the entire experience brought a continuous flood of emotions that reinforce everything that is right about the Hill.

Whether parent, alum, teacher or staff, we are bound together by a shared experience at Episcopal that is unique and increasingly difficult to find today. The magic of the experience is passed down by today’s faculty and staff who are every bit the equal of Callaway, Phillips, and Shelor of a former generation.

With the leadership of Lee Ainslie and Charley Stillwell, I am very confident that The High School will be a place where talented Board members ‘think independently and act collegially’ for years to come.”

Thank you to our outgoing Trustees for their unwavering commitment to The High School. Their leadership over six years has been invaluable, and Episcopal is a better place thanks to them.

N. Peryn Harmon Graham ’94

“When I received a call in early 2012 to gauge my interest in serving on the Episcopal Board, I was truly humbled and absolutely willing to serve. I owe so many of the wonderful things in my life to Episcopal High School and to my parents who sent me: my husband, my children, my best friend, membership in an amazing community, and the best education for which someone could wish. It seemed unlikely my service on the Board could make a dent in my debt to The High School.

My first meeting was an eye-opening event. In no way was I as accomplished, articulate, or skilled as those sitting around the table. What could I offer Episcopal as compared to that remarkable group of people?

I quickly realized we all shared an abiding love for The High School and a desire to support an institution that instills in its graduates the education and character to make a positive difference in the world. Over my six years, the faces changed but the members continued to be as thoughtful and impressive, and the mission remained as unified. There is a pervasive and persistent love of Episcopal High School shared by the Board and by the community in general. It was this love that compelled me to serve Episcopal to the best of my abilities, and I am honored to have had the opportunity.”

Alexander S. Jones ’64

“I graduated in 1964 from an EHS that was, in important ways, a very different school than the EHS of today. The School was in the final gasp of the Rat System, was all boys, and was a harder, less embracing place to my mind. I was not happy at EHS, and when I was invited to join the Board, it was with some trepidation as to what I would find nearly half a century after I graduated.

To my joy, I found a far better school than I had known. The Honor System was intact as it had been in my time, and the deep commitment to writing and critical thinking was the same. But the culture was now one of inclusion, excitement, generosity of spirit, and far greater ambition to be part of the larger world. The addition of girls was a huge part of this change, but it was also the product of the kind of leadership on the Board and a series of far-sighted headmasters that had fashioned a better school that was inspired in its approach to education and inspiring to me.

The members of the EHS Board that I came to know over my six years’ tenure were, one and all, deeply committed to the School and its future. That applies as well to the dedicated EHS faculty and staff. In my six years, the leadership of Rob Hershey and Bailey Patrick was strong, visionary and open-hearted. That humane and far-sighted leadership now continues under Charley Stillwell and Lee Ainslie. EHS has a great and exciting future. I am proud to have had a hand in shaping that and profoundly honored to have served as a Trustee.”
