A Word From the Perot Family Headmaster Paving the Way to Extraordinary
The theme for this issue causes me to reflect on one of our recent chapel services. The homily of that chapel touched on a scene from the popular children’s movie Trolls that involved a lesson that is pertinent not only to children but also to most adults. The movie Trolls attempts to drive home the notion that happiness is inside each of us. It acknowledges that there are times in which others can help us to come to that realization.
St. Philip’s offers an unparalleled experience to our students that not only enables them to embrace their potential to be extraordinary but also helps them to acknowledge that as children of God, EXTRAORDINARY is already inside of them.
St. Philip’s offers an unparalleled experience to our students that not only enables them to embrace their potential to be extraordinary but also helps them to acknowledge that as children of God, EXTRAORDINARY is already inside of them. In fact, we guide our students to gain a glimpse of the existence of a supernatural power that allows them to forge through life’s challenges.
Our faculty and staff refute the notion that our students are products of their environment. Far too many of us are walking, living testimonies of the opposite. In fact, we have daily evidence of students and community residents overcoming dire circumstances, conditions, and conflicts.
As you browse through this edition of our magazine, do so with this quote in mind: “there are many reasons but no excuses.” We teach our students and promote within
the surrounding community, that despite inequity, or even injustices, THEY MUST PRESS ON. This affirmation is taught under the premise that our students do not have to do this alone. They have a village and a community present to support them, but most importantly, they have a higher power to lean on. For this reason, at St. Philip’s School & Community Center, we teach values, we build character, and we demand integrity.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all of those who sacrifice their time, resources, and prayers to provide unparalleled experiences embracing extraordinary excellence.
Blessings, Dr. Terry J. Flowers
A Word From Our Principal The Village
It Still Takes a Village reminds us that education is a communal effort. In our history, slavery prohibited a formal education to African Americans but because of our ancestors' determination and fortitude, they found a way to learn. The community or village of people took on the responsibility of teaching and sharing their knowledge with others. This village concept still rings true today as we believe the success of our students and community is still rooted in the active participation of the village.
The St. Philip’s School and Community Center Village is driven by our Core Values, embracing all members of the village and showing the love of God to ALL people. The Village at St. Philip’s is inspired by 1 John 3:18, “Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth.”
This village concept still rings true today as we believe the success of our students and community is still rooted in the active participation of the village.
In other words, our actions must align with our words. It’s not uncommon to see us share the love of God through our daily chapel, through a benevolent hug from a teacher to a student, through our students serving in the food pantry, or through our Moms in Prayer group that meets weekly to pray for our faculty, students, parents, and community.
This year, the Village has been instrumental in nurturing self-confidence in our students through our Fine Arts Department. Students are lovingly supported in embracing their talents through the arts. Our focus on fine arts
encourages students to expand their gifts in visual arts, photography, dance, theater, and music. Students have access to great minds and talents in our school and community. The Fine Arts program is preparing students for the future as they focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
Here at St. Philip’s School and Community Center, It Still Takes a Village is not just our theme for the year, but embodies our approach to impacting students and our community. In case you don’t know, the St. Philip’s Village is still transforming, investing, and impacting the lives of everyone who enters our doors.

AT A GLANCE: CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Our school currently serves over 200 students in grades PreK2-6th (ages 2-11) who benefit from St. Philip’s rigorous, nurturing, and dynamic Christian-based education.
St. Philip’s Continues to Boast Increase in Male Faculty
Positive role models are critical when it comes to educating our children. This fact has not been lost on St. Philip’s School and Community Center, where 22% of the faculty consists of ethnically diverse male teachers. This is particularly rare in an elementary school setting.
So, why is having ethnically diverse male teachers important? According to researcher Travis Bristol and Peter Paul, Assistant Professor at Boston University, “Diversity drives innovation.” Bristol also explains that “Having a teacher of color, or Black male teacher, can serve to disrupt societal preconceptions.” What St. Philip’s has been able to accomplish by recruiting and retaining ethnically diverse male teachers should not be taken lightly, given as recently as 2016, Black male teachers made up just 2% of the teaching workforce.
In addition to being intentional about having a strong, ethnically diverse male presence in the classroom, St. Philip’s also benefits from parent organizations and programs that provide active male involvement and mentorship. This includes the Dad’s Club, a Rites of Passage program, the African American Male Academic Bowl, and the Saints Coed Robotics Team, led by parent volunteer and robotics engineer, Terrence Southern. Male parent volunteers also lead organizations like DoDads and Real Men Pray, and the current president of the Parent School Association is parent volunteer Harold Dédé
At St. Philip’s School and Community Center, intentionally promoting an ethnically diverse male teaching staff has not only contributed to the success of our students, but also provides the positive male role models that our community so desperately needs.

Shining Light on THE ARTS at St. Philip’s
St. Philip’s has formalized a true Fine Arts Department! For decades, we’ve offered music and visual art to all of our students. We are ecstatic to now offer a more comprehensive arts program that also includes dance, theater, and media/ photography. “Through this program, we strive to offer artistic and cultural classes along with exposure and experiences that will empower our children and youth,” says Fine Arts lead Monique Ridge-Williams, who also serves as the Theater Instructor and school’s librarian. “The arts are a powerful tool for personal and community transformation.”
A generous grant from The Hersh Foundation will assist with building this multi-disciplinary, cross-curricular elementary arts program over the next three years. The benefits of quality fine arts education and a S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS, and Math) approach to our curriculum will include gains in student artistic development AND math, reading, critical thinking, and verbal skills. Given a growing number of St. Philip’s alumni are pursuing the arts, we believe an investment in this area will better prepare future alumni for success.
St. Philip’s has assembled a dynamic team of arts specialists and educators for the program that includes IV Amenti (Dance); Juan Hernandez, Jr. (Art); Rachel Martin (Music); Menkiti Rice (Media/Photography); and Monique
Ridge-Williams (Theater). Each of these faculty members are professional and celebrated artists in their own right. In fact, Mrs. Williams, a member of Soul Rep Theatre Company, is preparing for the lead role in the regional premiere of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize nominated play, Yellowman; Mrs. Amenti just completed a run in Prism Movement Theatre’s celebrated production of a non-verbal, movement only version of King Lear; Mr. Hernandez is painting several culturally inspired murals across Texas; and Menkiti Rice is heavily involved in Big Thought’s Da Verse Lounge, which gives children and youth a platform to articulate their feelings through poetry and song.
We look forward to seeing the arts shine even brighter at St. Philip’s School and Community Center.
St. Philip’s Welcomes New Faculty and Staff
Kate Blackstone joined the Philanthropy team as Senior Graphic Designer & Communications Associate. Ms. Blackstone recently left a local print and design company, where she spent 17 years building and growing the business (and many years working with St. Philip's!). She is currently in school studying social work.
WOW FACT: Ms. Blackstone grew up in Mexico City and is fluent in Spanish.
Tamekia Booker-Wallace studied Early Childhood Development at Langston University and puts her experience to use in the PK2 classroom. She is always looking for creative ways to stimulate curiosity and bring the joy of knowledge to her students. Mrs. Booker-Wallace spends her downtime crafting, reading, and going to the movies. She loves traveling and spending time with her family.
WOW FACT: She has her very own “she shed” – a tiny house – behind her home that she uses for crafting.
Robin Johnson is the school nurse at St. Philip’s. Before receiving a nursing degree, Mrs. Johnson studied Special Education at St. John’s University in New York. When she has spare time, she likes to cook, garden, and crochet. She is grateful for time spent at home and with family –especially her 5-year-old granddaughter, Sydni.
WOW FACT: After 27 years as an RN, Mrs. Johnson "retired" to St. Philip's this year.
Lanisha Patton is a PK3 teacher from Nacogdoches, located in East Texas. She loves that St. Philip’s gives her “the chance to get closer to God while educating God’s children!” Mrs. Patton loves spending time with her 6-year-old son, 2-year-old daughter, and her husband.
WOW FACT: Mrs. Patton’s husband, Ronard, is the head coach at Adamson High School.
Donovan Smith is from Mexia, Texas, and is a 1st grade teacher. He appreciates the loving and caring staff at St. Philip’s and says the children are a joy to work with. In his free time, Mr. Smith likes playing sports, playing chess, and trying out different restaurants.
WOW FACT: Mr. Smith is a four-time All-American in track and field for Paul Quinn College.
Deana Wall is both a Certified Academic Language Therapist and a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist; she is a wonderful addition to our staff! Ms. Wall loves working at St. Philip’s because as an educator she gets the opportunity, the backing, and the freedom to work with each child where they need the most support. Ms. Wall says she loves being part of an organization that cares for the entire community and has a mission to make it better - a school that invests so much into the education and life experience of every child and their family.
WOW FACT: Ms. Wall is dyslexic.
Funders Strengthen St. Philip’s Academic Support and Math Program
The teaching and learning at St. Philip’s have been bolstered by way of targeted funding from Reading Resource Group and Cecilia and Garrett Boone. A grant from the Reading Resource Fund of Communities Foundation of Texas enabled St. Philip’s to expand its Academic Support and tutoring program by hiring a Certified Academic Language Therapist, Deana Wall, to serve students and neighborhood children with dyslexia. Support from Cecilia and Garrett Boone and Bobby Lyle, through our WE BELIEVE CAMPAIGN, ensured the school was equipped to hire and retain an experienced Math Specialist, Tamasha Govan, to provide faculty with resources and innovative strategies in implementing the math curriculum.
The dyslexia program St. Philip’s utilizes is a specialized multisensory approach that is structured, sequential, and
direct in phonemic awareness, reading, written expression, penmanship, and spelling. One parent shared that in the short amount of time her son has worked with the dyslexia specialist, she has seen dramatic changes. “I see an increase in his self-esteem and learning. He no longer avoids books. He now loves reading for homework and free time.” As for the math program, classroom lessons have become a lot more engaging. This year, teachers are integrating movement and games in mathematics for our Kindergarten students. Additionally, the development of small group stations in the middle school has been very effective.
We are excited to witness the positive and quantifiable impact in our classrooms as a direct result of these vital staff positions made possible by Reading Resource Group, the Boone family, and the Lyle family.
AT A GLANCE: COMMUNITY CENTER IMPACT
S.T.E.A.M. Summer Program Makes a Big Impact
St. Philip’s School and Community Center’s i3 S.T.E.A.M.
(Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS, and Math) focused summer program offered a synergistic approach to integrating the arts with academics. This past summer, it proved to be a beautiful extension of our school, with many of our faculty leading the academic instruction in the seven-week, full-day program. We strive to provide a St. Philip’s School “experience” to our summer scholars, given 90% do not attend the school.
The summer program is an effective way to keep children safe and engaged during the vulnerable summer months, and prepared for the coming school year. Collaboration continues to be a hallmark of the program with the continued involvement of AmeriCorp, Big Thought, Brighter Bites, First Tee, Honey Shine, Inc., North Texas Food Bank, Soul Rep Theatre Company, and The Mourning Family Foundation. These partners helped staff, instruct, fund, and feed our summer scholars.
We inspired, ignited, innovated, and achieved the following through our 2017 i3 S.T.E.A.M. summer program:
• Helped 135 children beat summer learning loss
• Provided 84 hours of arts enrichment
• Provided 140 hours of academic instruction
• Provided 48 hours of athletic enrichment
• Provided 35 hours of field trips and academic excursions
• Provided 35 nutritious meals to each summer scholar
• Provided 10 pounds a week of fresh produce to each summer scholar’s household during the 8-week summer session
Many thanks to the following major donors for making our 2017 campers' SUMMER DREAMS come true!

Beautiful Beginnings at St. Philip’s
Did you know St. Philip’s School developed from a daycare center established in the 1970s? Until a few years ago, it has been decades since a daycare was located on the campus. St. Philip’s has returned to its roots with the presence of Beautiful Beginners Christian Academy. This curriculumbased program for infants through two-year-olds, is owned and operated by Olatilewa Kerr, affectionately called “Tili” by parents and little ones.
St. Philip’s campus is the second site for the daycare. Mrs. Kerr has another, larger location in DeSoto that provides care for children up to four years old. “For me, every child is beautiful, exquisite, and unique,” Kerr shares. “Every child is beautiful in my sight and in the eyes of God.” She also believes all children deserve the best care when they are
away from their parents. “I have an amazing staff of selfless, dependable, and God-fearing care givers.”
Beautiful Beginners clients include a great blend of families who live and/or work in the South Dallas/Fair Park community. A few of St. Philip’s faculty even have children in the daycare. Kerr is proud to point out that this is first her ministry, before it is her job. In fact, 50% of the families she serves at both locations do not pay or pay little. She believes Beautiful Beginners is filling a critical need because in daycare, she often hears the first words, sees the first steps and first tooth. “We become the doctor, the therapist, and the nurturer of the children we care for,” Kerr explains. “We have to be there for the family and the child.”
Thirty-eight of our summer scholars received a BONUS summer experience as participants in a week long away camp through Christianbased Kids Across America (KAA). The trip was made possible through a generous contribution from Selby Harrison. Campers enjoyed water tubing, cheer, dance, aquatic activities, zip lining, basketball, bible study, and many other leadership building activities.
AT A GLANCE: ATHLETICS
For several decades, St. Philip’s has provided arguably the largest and most diverse athletics program for 4- to 14-year-olds in the southern sector of Dallas.
SAINTS Cheerleaders Exhibit S-P-I-R-I-T!
Cheering is as big at St. Philip’s as football and basketball. We recently sat down with Anyah and Kaiya to learn more about what it’s like and what it takes to be a cheerleader for the St. Philip’s Saints. This season marks the seventh year of cheering for Anyah and fifth for Kaiya.
“I started cheering with St. Philip’s when I was six years old but this is my last year,” says Anyah, who at 13, has aged out of the program. “I feel sad about having to leave cheer this year. Cheer has given me spirit and makes me really happy. When I go to Woodrow Wilson High School next year, I want to try out for cheer. My good attitude and determination will help me be great.” Anyah attended Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary in South Dallas, and currently attends J.L. Long Middle School, in east Dallas.
Ten-year-old Kaiya comes from a serious football family. So serious, in fact, that according to her mother, her introduction to St. Philip’s and cheer began the day she arrived home from the hospital. “That same day, we went to a Saints game. Her two older brothers played football and her dad coached. We had to be there to cheer them on,” she explains.
Cheer has given both Kaiya and Anyah the opportunity to travel outside of Dallas and the state for regional competitions. It has also given them tremendous confidence, leadership skills, and discipline. In fact, Kaiya, a student at Charles Rice Learning Center in South Dallas, is now president of the tech club, participates in summer theater programs, and sings in the choir. “My favorite thing about cheerleading,” Kaiya explains, “is I get to be a leader.”

The Fun
This year, St. Philip’s Homecoming was like no other. In place of the annual parade, the Saints hosted a Homecoming festival of fun that included a pep rally, food trucks, bounce houses, raffles, face painting, DJ, barber/beauty shop on wheels and, of course, plenty of football. The Saints did not disappoint, winning all but one of their games.
We hosted well over 1,000 people throughout the day. The games did not end until 7:00 p.m. There was a wealth of support from parents, volunteer coaches, community center partners, and area youth groups.
The BIG Announcement
Homecoming proved to be the perfect stage to announce the much-anticipated athletic field house to be used by St. Philip’s athletics program will be completed by the end of the year, thanks to a generous donation from The Doherty Foundation. This time last year, St. Philip’s purchased the worn property - formerly a neighborhood lounge - adjacent to its athletic field with the intent to transform it into something positive for the community. For years, our football, lacrosse, soccer, and baseball players – along with game patrons - have had to cross busy Pennsylvania Avenue to access restrooms during games. Players have done the same to dress out for practice. We are excited to begin offering a safe, renovated space to house offices, locker rooms, and a meeting room for our athletics program in the coming year.
St. Philip’s hosted over 1,000 people throughout the day!

Alum Joins St. Philip’s Faculty
Class of 2003 alum Juan Hernandez has joined St. Philip’s faculty as the Visual Arts Teacher. He has volunteered and worked for St. Philip’s after-school care and summer programs off and on over the years. Mr. Hernandez attended the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas in 2014. Prior to joining St. Philip’s, he taught art for the Dallas Independent School District.
He’s thrilled to return to his elementary alma mater full time to give back to the youth through his artistic expertise, given St. Philip’s has always been such a big part of his life. An added benefit to working at St. Philip’s is the opportunity to visit his parents, who still reside in the home he grew up in, located a couple of blocks from the campus.
WOW FACT: Mr. Hernandez provides freelance work in the art industry. He does graphic design, animation, fine art, and, most recently, has been spray painting murals across Texas.
St. Philip’s address – 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – gave Amber Jordan a sense of possibility, community, and inclusiveness while she was a student. “I remember most during my time at St. Philip’s that we definitely appreciated that we held the same address as the White House,” says Ms. Jordan, currently a felony prosecutor with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. “Being a part of a thriving private school in South Dallas was always fascinating and impressive.”
St. Philip’s shaped Amber, along with her twin brother and older sister who are also alumni. Her family was very engaged and ingrained in the school. Amber’s father even served as president of the Dad’s Club. This is the school where she learned to recite and realize its powerfully inspiring creed. This is the school where she first learned bible verses. This is the school that helped form her appreciation for justice.
“Multiple people from various areas of my life have always told me that I should be a lawyer because when I see a wrong, I don’t let it go,” she explains. By 8th grade, Amber’s passion for helping people and ability to be outspoken and do the right thing intersected finally pushing her toward law. She earned her law degree from Howard University, where she says she gained a diverse perspective.
“I didn’t realize all you can do with a law degree. I appreciate the degree I have, but I realize my passion is in the criminal law area,” she says. Ms. Jordan started with the Dallas County DA Office in May 2016 and has since, been promoted twice, most recently in October. She can see herself in this current role for the next 10 to 20 years but is not opposed to one day being a judge. At this time, however, in her budding career, she prefers being “on the ground” and in the “trenches” as a prosecutor.
Her advice for the children gracing St. Philip’s halls and classrooms, today? ”Never give up and keep the faith.” Ms. Jordan always knew she could achieve what God called for her life, despite the challenges she faced, because she had a support system. A village to depend on.
Life After St. Philip’s - Amber Jordan, Class of ‘00
WID-WID-WIDI: Why I Do, What I Do, Where I Do It
“I strongly believe that if we remain true to our mission, St. Philip’s will be 'showered' beyond our imaginations or plans, and I want to be around to witness it.”
Gwen
Barjon, Director of Innovation
Gwen Barjon Director of Innovation/Science
I joined the St. Philip’s family in 1990 as a parent of a preschool student. Little did I know at the time, that it would become such an integral part of my life and that of my immediate and extended family. Now in my fifth role at St. Philip’s, I have a diverse perspective of the impact that we make as servants here. I’m convinced that our mission stands true and is reflective of service that extends beyond the school walls.
In short, Why I Do, What I Do, Where I Do It (St. Philip’s) is because:
• It’s acceptable and encouraged to praise the Living God.
• I want children to have positive experiences, like I had as a child.
• I want children to receive an excellent education.
• I am allowed adequate autonomy and ability to raise the bar as I see fit.
• The rewards of being part of this village are evident.
• St. Philip’s is a dynamic, ever-growing, everchanging beacon of hope, love, and service.
• I strongly believe that if we remain true to our mission, St. Philip’s will be ‘showered’ beyond our imaginations or plans, and I want to be around to witness it.
IV Amenti
Early Childhood Spanish Teacher and Dance Instructor
Imagine for a moment that you had been working as an independent artist for several years and were in the midst of the largest contract of your career. One where you could financially smile and relax for the next two years while doing the work you love in a community in desperate need of a
positive impact. And then…you get a call, and the voice on the other end says that all incoming contracts have been frozen, most notably, yours. You don’t know what you are going to do about the next month of your life, let alone the two years you were counting on being abundantly covered.
That was me, and in that moment of darkness, where my safety nets were pulled out from under me, I smiled (a forced smile, but a smile nonetheless) and I said, “God, I wonder what you’re going to do next?” God took me to His house, to do His specific work, with His children; in a place of culture, spirit, rigor, and Black excellence. I asked the Most High a question and undoubtedly got the answer.
So, why do I do, what I do, where I do it? Because St. Philip’s caught me when I plunged into a test of my own surrendered faith. No one knew why I needed this place so much, and to be honest, neither did I. Each person here gives my talents purpose and a place to flourish. The challenges here have never outweighed the smiles and the joy. This place…is a place…where life is surely good, and I am glad to be in this number. Dear God, what a most perfect answer! I give thanks.
Jacqueline Andrews 4th Grade Teacher
I was blessed to have grown up in a family with very high expectations. I put forth great effort to meet those expectations and become my best self. I therefore have high expectations of my students. I enjoy sharing new information with students, creating situations that allow them to learn, and seeing the joy that comes with discovering something new. St. Philip’s allows me to be creative and find unique ways to challenge students.
To sum it up, I serve at St. Philip’s because it is an amazing place to teach young children and to work with other educators in a Christian environment. St. Philip’s is a part of my family. I also teach at St. Philip’s because I see the sense of African-American pride in my own children, who are alumni of the school, and in others that was developed and nurtured here. I want to work to instill self-confidence, pride, and excellence in other children.
IN MEMORIAM
This fall, St. Philip’s lost four people who blessed the organization in very different, but impactful ways. We are grateful to have known each of them and been in their midst. These four were angels on earth to St. Philip’s and now, they’ve earned their heavenly wings. We are forever grateful all were led to serve, support, and befriend the St. Philip’s School and Community Center ministry. May each of them rest in power.
Mary Ann Amos 1957 - 2017
Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, Mary was an alumni grandparent and Early Childhood teacher in our summer program. She will be greatly missed by those blessed with the opportunity to serve alongside her or were a beneficiary of her beautiful spirit and smile. In Louisiana, Mary was a well-respected entrepreneur. For over 30 years, she managed Mary's House of Silk, a full-service event planning and decor enterprise. She was affectionately known as the "Flower Lady in Lawtell." Through her professionalism and artistic flair, she gained the trust of her customers, and in her role at St. Philip’s, she gained our hearts.
Don Houseman 1923 - 2017
A Dallas native, a faithful Episcopalian, and former St. Philip’s trustee, Don generously and loyally shared his resources to ensure the St. Philip’s ministry thrived. He lived a long and full life, but was not without trials. Houseman received two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for his service in World War II, where he was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and spent five months as a prisoner of war. This experience forever changed his outlook on life, and thus, Don began living every day as if it were a gift from God. As a businessman, he was active in insurance and real estate but made time for civic and charitable service. He served as mayor of the City of University Park, president of the Dallas Country Club, president of the Gaston Episcopal Hospital Foundation, and Governor Bill Clements' appointee to the Texas Teachers Retirement Fund. He was also an active communicant of St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church for more than 70 years.
Anne Kimbrough 1925 - 2017
Anne Kimbrough was a friend of St. Philip’s for well over 30 years, sharing her time and resources with tremendous compassion. An African proverb says a person is not dead as long as they are remembered. Ann will live on in our hearts through the love and lessons she blessed us with. Ann loved family, friendship and was a champion for education. She understood how important education is for the future of the world. In fact, in the 1980s Anne would boldly go where few from her community would – South Dallas. Long before Grow South became a city initiative, Anne and her husband, Arch, invested mightily in the ministry of St Philip's School and Community Center. Arch oversaw the construction of St. Philip's Legacy Building, the first building permit issued in South Dallas in two decades. Anne Kimbrough allowed her faith to be her fuel, and her compassion showered the world.
Grasier “Garcia” Williams 1951 - 2017
At St. Philip’s, Garcia blessed many through his delectable cooking, by ensuring guests of the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner were fed generously and well. He was a kind, charming, and generous soul, with a servant’s heart. He loved his family and passed on to his children a legacy of hard work, integrity, resilience and love. Born and raised in Texarkana, Arkansas, Williams was a master chef with a career spanning more than 40 years as a Dallas restaurateur and caterer.
Blessing and Dedication EVENT RECAP
This past summer found several areas on St. Philip’s campus in the midst of renovation. On October 19, a Blessing and Dedication was held to officially unveil four new spaces and acknowledge the friends who made these lovely additions to the St. Philip’s campus a reality. As a result of the thoughtful and generous support of Rob Landin, Chris and Ann Mahowald, Ellen and John McStay, and Curtis E. Ransom, our campus now includes:
The Curtis E. Ransom Gallery in our Life Center Building showcases posters commemorating the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.
The Landin Family Literacy Library, located in the Legacy Building, is dedicated to St. Philip’s Academic Support program that includes tutoring and therapy for our students with dyslexia.
The Little Morningstar Chapel Garden, adjacent to the Life Center Building, received a gorgeous facelift with new landscaping and sitting areas.
The Mahowald Family Conference Suite provides a critical upgrade in the Legacy Building and includes renovated offices for our Principal, Principal’s Assistant, and a large conference room.
This Is Us
On North Texas Giving Day, St. Philip’s School and Community Center showed the world that we are a community of believers, a community of open hearts, a community of open hands, a community of open minds, a community of givers and leaders, THIS IS US.
THIS IS US
On behalf of every child, every classroom, every neighbor, every household, every block, every mind, and every heart touched and transformed by the St. Philip’s ministry, we extend our gratitude to every donor and volunteer for their support of our NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY effort. We not only exceeded our monetary goal of $100,000 but garnered great participation among our trustees (100%), students (100%), faculty/staff (95%), and families (65%). The day would not have been a fundraising success without the generous support of our matching donors – longtime friends, Lyn and John Muse and parents Katrina and William Keyes.

A Message from Our Board Chair
You may be familiar with the expression “teamwork makes the dream work,” coined from John Maxwell’s book of the same title. However, Maxwell expands the quote to note that “Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.” St. Philip’s stands blessed with excellent visionary leadership AND a terrific team of cabinet members, trustees, faculty, staff, parents, and volunteers.
In 2016-2017, the St. Philip’s team made the dream work by exceeding our annual fundraising goal, reaching capital campaign milestones and increasing our base of supporters/volunteers. Under the leadership of Benaye Rogers and Anyika McMillan-Herod and the Philanthropy team, we reached our annual fund goal two months ahead of schedule and raised over $2.3 million. The We Believe Campaign team, led by Diana and Todd Maclin, Tina and Dan Stansbury and Nancy Perot and Rod Jones, continued the fundraising momentum, resulting in near and long-term success. Thanks to the cabinet’s hard work, the school added a full-time Math Specialist and installed the new Landin Family Literacy Library. Our terrific Board of Trustees hosted a record number of visitors for tours and special events, including over 800 guests in attendance at last year’s Annual Destiny Award Luncheon. While noteworthy, these achievements trail the work of dream-maker teachers and volunteers who directly serve our kids and families. Together, these teams made 2016-2017 at St. Philip’s a phenomenal year.
Teamwork at St. Philip’s makes the dream work because we believe our families and community deserve opportunities to achieve their big dreams. St. Philip’s consists of exceptional teams who wholeheartedly believe that “the sky is the limit if I put my mind in it,” “great things lie ahead,” and “if it is to be it is up to me." (St. Philip’s Creed)
Thank you to my wonderful teammates; it is an honor to serve with you, and if you are not on our team, I invite you to join us today.
Sincerely,
Kathy Hubbard Board Chair
A Message from Our Foundation Chair
The St. Philip’s School and Community Center Foundation was established as a separate non-profit corporation in March 1997 to support St. Philip’s School & Community Center (SPSCC) by soliciting, receiving, investing, and managing gifts, grants, contributions, and bequests to SPSCC. The mission of the Foundation is to support the long-term goals, purposes, and objectives of SPSCC.
There have been several exciting developments over the past 18 months for the Foundation. First, with the We Believe Campaign, the Foundation has received a healthy increase in contributions and pledges. We are very thankful for recent gifts from Margaret Bass, Betty Regard, a one -million dollar gift from an anonymous donor, and many others. Second, we are very pleased with our investment results. In May 2016, the Foundation transitioned its investment program to a low-cost, diversified series of index fund positions. As markets around the world have rallied, our investment results have been outstanding. We have earned 12.4% returns through the first three quarters of 2017 and 13.0% since we began the new investment strategy in May 2016.
The combined effect of the We Believe Campaign and our investment returns has increased the value of the Foundation’s assets to over $13.2 million as of September 17, 2017. This balance represents a 35% increase from just a few years ago. We are so pleased, as these results will lead to a substantial increase in the amount the Foundation will be able to provide to the School and Community Center each year.
As we look ahead to the continued success of the We Believe Campaign, we are delighted to be part of the St. Philip’s School and Community Center mission. I, and the other trustees of the Foundation, are pleased to provide increased funds for tuition assistance, school operations, and community center programs. With continued financial support and lots of hard work, St. Philip’s will continue to be a beacon of hope for neighborhood families seeking a high-quality education for their children.
Sincerely,
Rich Enthoven Chairman St. Philip’s School & Community Center Foundation

Ways to Support St. Philip’s TIME, TALENT & TREASURE
St. Philip’s has thrived through the tremendous support provided by a dedicated community of alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends. For decades, St. Philip’s School and Community Center has embodied excellence, in large part because our community has given generously of its time, talents, and treasures. There are many creative opportunities to make a contribution to the important work of St. Philip’s School and Community Center.
Consider Employee Corporate Giving
St. Philip’s receives designated funds through the United Way (#180), the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC).
Double Your Impact with Matching Gifts
Many employers match gifts by current and retired employees. This is an easy way to double your monetary gift or place a monetary value of your volunteer time to St. Philip’s School and Community Center. Contact the Human Resources office of your employer for the form to match your gift to St. Philip’s.
Planned Giving
This is an opportunity for you to leave a lasting legacy at St. Philip’s by making contributions through a bequest to St. Philip’s in your will or naming St. Philip’s as a co-beneficiary in a life insurance policy.
Securities
Raymond James is the primary securities trader for St. Philip’s School and Community Center. By donating securities to St. Philip’s through Raymond James, 100% of the value of your securities is awarded to the School. Contact the Philanthropy Office for more information at philanthropy@stphilips.com or 214.421.5221 ext. 239.
Shop and Share
St. Philip’s benefits from your shopping with Kroger, Tom Thumb, Target and GoodSearch.
The Gift of Time
From landscaping to mentoring, there are many ways that you or your business/employers can become part of making an impact in the South Dallas area. We need your hands, too.
