D E A R W E S L E YA N F A M I LY A N D F R I E N D S , Thank you for your continued interest in Wesleyan School and for taking the time to read the 2025 fall edition of the Wesleyan magazine. It is our hope that the magazine arrives in your mailbox amidst a Christmas season filled with the joy of celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, while also anticipating the hope that accompanies the arrival of the new year. You will find familiarity in several returning features of the fall magazine: highlights of our new faculty and staff members, stories from faculty summer sabbaticals, class notes and alumni news, wedding and birth announcements, and the school’s annual report that will update you on fundraising from our most recent fiscal year. Within these pages, you will discover the robust and vibrant pulse of our campus and community. You will be introduced to new faces and spaces, revisit long held and cherished traditions, and explore feature articles on our values of high expectations and high support, sportsmanship and hospitality, and thoughtful planning and time management. In August, the natural excitement of a new school year was accompanied by a new chapter in Wesleyan’s history: the dedication of Young Hall and Binion Plaza. The official opening of this new facility extended well beyond commemorating new classrooms and meeting spaces and became a joyful, communal reflection and celebration of God’s continued, miraculous authorship of the Wesleyan story. During the dedication event, countless stories highlighted gratitude and awe of God’s provision and direction in the construction of our campus and in the building of our community from 1996 to present day. Psalm 24, the school’s Scripture recitation, plays a prominent role in the design of Young Hall, highlighted by the Scripture wall that greets students, teachers, parents, alumni, and visitors when entering the main entrance. However, the decision to inscribe Psalm 24:6, “This is the generation of them that seek Him,” on the entablature of Young Hall was meant to serve as both a reminder and a hopeful challenge. It is our greatest desire that this generation of students, as well as all future generations who benefit from the Christ-centered education they receive at Wesleyan, would indeed seek God, fulfilling the school’s mission to be “a Christian school of academic excellence.” Mere days after that event, all faculty and staff were introduced to our Wesleyan Christian life theme for 2025-2026: I AM. I AM serves as yet another unifying answer to a question we voice corporately in the recitation of Psalm 24 each week in chapel: “Who is this King of glory?” Students and faculty are well-accustomed to the answer that comes at the end of verse 10: “The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.” This year’s Christian life theme will anchor and encourage us even deeper in our understanding of the King of glory and the great I AM as we explore Him as Creator, Shepherd, King, Father, Love, Vine, Light, and Redeemer. I hope as you read this magazine that you will not only share in our gratitude for all that God continues to build at Wesleyan, but that you will also share in our joy and confident belonging as His sheep, citizens, children, beloved, branches, light, and redeemed. Thank you for your continued support of Wesleyan School. For His Glory,

“Come with me for a day in the life as a... ...[fill in the blank with any profession or title imaginable].” If you have any social media footprint at all, you’ve likely heard this intro kickstart countless videos. Depending on your interests and algorithm, you may see “day in the life” videos from personal chefs, elementary school teachers, stay-at-home moms, college freshmen, or marathon runners. The variations are endless, but the format typically remains the same: a two-minute video that clips together chronological, time-stamped snippets of the person’s day. The content creators often romanticize their days, posting clips from an idyllic farmers market shopping for local produce or showcasing their never-ending self-care morning regimen. While a day in the life of a Wesleyan student may be less aesthetic, it’s still intentionally curated and thoughtfully scheduled down to the minute. Over the past few years, Wesleyan has worked to refine what it looks like to plan well, a concept that can

challenge people of all ages. As a result, students’ planner usage, both in and outside of the classroom, has been one area of focus at Wesleyan in recent years. Every second to 11th grade student receives a planner at the start of the school year. Although planners are optional for seniors, nearly 45% of this year’s senior class elected to continue using the Wesleyan planner. These planners, customized to each division’s schedule, encourage students to look ahead and manage the expectations of each day, week, and subsequently the semester as a whole, especially once students reach high school. While it’s easy to assume a day in the life of a Wesleyan student is bumper-to-bumper class time, energy-packed club times, and insurmountable practice problems, the school day schedule is actually carefully curated time blocks meant to equip students across all three divisions to take ownership over their schedule, build margin within their day, and develop consistent rhythms throughout their week.

PLANNING WELL

- Even before the first bell rings, Wesleyan students are afforded a choice. For lower schoolers, they have the option to head to the gym for games or to head straight to the classroom. “Those who choose to come upstairs,” says Madison (Boyd) Thomas, ‘09, third grade chair and teacher, “often benefit from a slower, more peaceful start to the day.” Students who elect to play in the gym are granted a few more minutes to work out their extra energy before settling in for the day ahead.

BEFORE SCHOOL

- Rather than arriving just in time for homeroom, middle and high school students may get to campus a few minutes earlier to take advantage of office hours. Office hours serve as students’ time to meet with faculty to ask questions, follow up on a recent assessment, or brush up on a trickier concept from class. Joseph Antonio, middle school principal, encourages students to view the school day as 7:40 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. instead of 8:00 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. in order to take better advantage of this time with faculty. Antonio says the middle school faculty often remind him, “If students took advantage of office hours every chance they could, it would afford them nearly three hours of personalized extra support from their teachers each week!” This time outside of the typical class time grants students the critical opportunity to set the tone for their day and take ownership over their own academic success.

- Knowing everyone acclimates to the start of the day at their own pace, Anna Mungenast, fourth

grade teacher, creates extra space between morning work time and the first bell. “In my room,” she says, “we read a devotion together, pray, then start our day. ”This allows lower school students in her class to prepare their minds and hearts for the demands of the day ahead.

- Establishing these consistent routines within the school day schedule reduces stress and mitigates

FIRST BELL

potential mental exhaustion at the end of the school day. ”The Wesleyan schedule establishes predictability day-to-day,” says Sarah Peebles, high school learning specialist. “Students don’t have to wonder where to go or what to do next.” Something as simple as Mungenast’s daily devotion with her class, or the anticipation of high school club time every Friday, keeps the momentum of the week moving.

- As the day progresses in the classroom, faculty in all divisions guide students through best practices for planner organization. Many teachers elect to use the first or last couple minutes of class to go over the day’s assignments or look ahead for the week. With her third grade class, Thomas writes the assignments for the day on the board, modeling organization for her students. “I always remind them to be ‘copycats,’” she says, “making sure their entries match mine on the board so nothing gets missed.”

- The goal for this time is not only to accurately write down assignments, but as students age into high

LATE MORNING

school, the hope is students learn the necessary skills to manage their time well, creating margin throughout their day. Ferrell Cline, high school Bible teacher, consistently reserves a few minutes of class time for students to take out their planners, write down upcoming assignments, and begin working on their homework for her class. “I don’t want Bible to be a burden,” says Cline. “The goal is that they can get everything done during class time.” While Cline says most students take advantage of this time to work ahead, it’s ultimately up to the student to realize the benefit of using this time wisely.

- Robert Holmes, fifth grade boys chair and middle school social sciences teacher, aims to create margin throughout the week for his students by encouraging healthier study habits. Instead of simply writing “study” as their homework assignment leading up to an assessment, Holmes encourages students to write in their planners, “Play the Europe Map game for 10 minutes” or “Look over culture vocab words for five minutes.” This adds specificity to their study routine. This also teaches students to break up the assessment preparation process. Holmes adds, “I would rather students study for 30 minutes over the course of a week instead of one hour the night before.”

PLANNING WELL

- Likely the favorite across campus, this time frame encompasses free time, chapel, mentor groups, club time, lunch, and recess. While many of the activities that take place during these couple of hours could easily become pandemonium, they are yet again meticulously planned and thoughtfully placed throughout the school week.

- For example, every Friday, high school club time serves as an important and intentional break in

Flex Time & Lunch

the school day and week. “I see it as a chance for students to recharge mentally while engaging in something they’re passionate about,” says Dr. Adonnis Jules, high school Bible teacher and student activities co-coordinator. “It provides a healthy balance to the academic and social rhythm of the school.”

- As is typical for people of all ages, the days can drag along if you aren’t careful. “We believe our

students need to move,” says Dr. Nancy Jones, director of counseling and lower school dean of counseling and student services, “and our lower school schedule reflects those opportunities for them to move.” Jones says lower school students are typically only in one location for 45 minutes to an hour.

- Similarly, in middle school, students rarely have more than two classes back-to-back. “Creating opportunity for free time and a change of scenery,” says Antonio, “avoids information overload and elevates class time.” Over time, students subconsciously adopt these rhythms to balance focus time with free time to decrease classroom burnout and increase academic endurance.

- Often any class time that follows lunch feels like an impossible hurdle, but faculty aim to help students manage their day similarly to a large-scale project or research paper – one task at a time. Cline recalls telling students during her first year of teaching they had four days to complete a particular assignment, but it was up to the students how they chose to map out their time within those four days. “I realized that didn’t work,” she laughs. “Students don’t respond the way you think they should. They typically wait until the last minute.” Inspired by another teacher, Cline developed “stop checks” for each day, or in other words, something was due at the end of each class period, whether it be a storyboard, an initial outline, or the first paragraph of a paper. By developing these stop checks, students begin to parse out projects and papers in manageable increments, creating greater margin in their week because the project is not saved until the last minute.

Mid-Afternoon -

Similarly in the lower school, teachers often give suggested timelines to students for longer book reports and check in with them throughout the process. “We help students look at what nights they have extracurricular activities and teach them how to balance their schedule with studying and activities,” says Mungenast. With teachers modelling organizational best practices in the classroom, prepping for a book report, longer form research paper, or a multinight study session becomes much less daunting, one manageable piece at a time.

NOTHING

IN RETURN HOSPITALITY AND THE HEART OF THE HOME FIELD


The 14-passenger bus shutters while executing a tight U-turn in a narrow parking lot. Taylor Swift echoes through the tiny JBL speakers brought by one of the 11 girls trying to harmonize with the billionaire performer. Another student bends over her tablet to work on Membean, while another student crosses her legs and shouts that she needs to use the restroom. Like now. A 14th student tries to shush her teammates so that the coach can flag down a passerby and ask about the best place to park the bus before the game. And that’s not to mention the mental space taken up by bumper-to-bumper traffic on 285, the lesson plans coach had to leave for a sub due to the early check-out, and the lingering concern that the girls may have forgotten to bring their white “away” jerseys. As the team locates their reserved parking, the girls tumble out of the bus, realize they brought the wrong water cooler, and giggle as their teammate dashes to the nearest building in search of a restroom. Meanwhile, the coach wracks her brain for how to refocus her team in this new environment. Ultimately, the team is eager to be welcomed and acclimated with ease. “An athletic event provides the opportunity to create a positive and welcoming atmosphere for our guests,” explains Lacy Gilbert, director of athletics. “For us, hospitality means creating an environment where every athlete, coach, official, and guest feels welcomed, respected, and cared for while on our campus.” Jesus models this commitment to hospitality by making sure people are seen. His example personifies treating everyone with dignity and seeking to serve and meet the needs of others, even those who oppose Him. “Hospitality in athletics is so countercultural,” reflects Greg Lisson, director of Christian life and assistant coach for varsity softball. “The world says opponents are enemies, officials are incompetent, and sports are about celebrating yourself. Hospitality says opponents are guests, officials are welcome and worthy, and sports can be about something greater than ourselves. As a result, hospitality really stands out when it’s done in the context of athletics because it is so unusual.” Lisson goes on to explain that hospitality in athletics is unique because there is next-to-nothing to be gained from

being hospitable. “There is no ‘bottom line’ when it comes to creating a smooth experience for our opposing teams or officials,” he shares. “Sincere hospitality does not disguise a request, and there is no expectation of reciprocity. We ask for nothing in return.” Hospitality in sports is not confined to the playing field or the time allotted on the scoreboard. For the Wolves to demonstrate hospitality, we must plan intentionally and embed this warmth and welcome into every aspect of athletics.

WARMING UP FOR WARM UPS

Before an opponent even shows up, the grounds crew and facilities staff at Wesleyan works year-round to keep every field, court, trail, and pool in tip-top shape. “The quality of fall and spring sports facilities is largely due to the work that we put in over the summer months,” explains David Carr, director of grounds. The grounds crew aerates and top-dresses every game field to speed up the surface’s healing and deepen the root structure. “We schedule all mowing, field painting, and setup around the school calendar,” Carr continues. “And the guys take a lot of pride in their work.” Their diligent efforts often earn praise from guests. “When a visiting team arrives to a cross country meet here, their first reaction is almost always ‘Wow! Your facilities are incredible!’” smiles Sean Nestor, middle school counselor and head coach for middle school cross country. “While I appreciate their compliments, I have to give all the credit to our exceptional grounds crew who make sure every inch of our campus reflects excellence.” At its most basic level, one of the ways that we pursue excellence in hospitality is making sure that guests know where to go. Our 86-acre campus features four gymnasiums and seven fields, and on any given afternoon, there may be up to five athletic events happening on campus within a matter of hours. Clear, directional signage is key, and it is not without cost or effort.

FUELING

Most afternoons, Dennis Stromie, assistant director of athletics, can be found with a ring of duct tape used to update signs or stretching his shoulder, which can get a little sore from lugging signs around campus. “Good signage is especially important when we have multiple events on campus that overlap with their game times. We want our guests to find our athletic venues quickly and easily,” explains Stromie. As visiting teams and officials make their way to their respective athletic events, Wesleyan administrators, coaches, and trainers check in to make sure they have what they need. “When we host nine other schools for 8th grade boys basketball league games, I try to personally check in with every visiting coach,” describes Will Kimberlin, advancement associate and head coach for eighth grade boys basketball. “It’s just a little thing, but I want to make sure they know where the restrooms are, how to get help from the trainer, which court their team is on, and how to find me if they have any questions.” Matched by many other coaches, Kimberlin’s intentionality quells any bubbling angst and puts our guests at ease. Perhaps this check-in is “just a little thing,” but when this thoughtfulness is layered with dozens of other small touches, hospitality becomes infused into the experience. Like the Wolves’ opponents, officials also arrive to our dynamic campus eager to settle into their responsibilities. “When the referees arrive to Cleveland Memorial Stadium for a lacrosse game, I want them to know that we really appreciate their time,” explains Connor Breslin ’11, eighth grade boys chair and head coach for varsity boys lacrosse. Breslin values the officials so much that he even watches recordings of their GHSA trainings so that he can better celebrate the effort that officials put into honing their craft. “Whenever possible, I try to greet them by name and validate a specific comment or insightful question that official may have voiced in a training,” Breslin says.

THE FANS

As officials facilitate coin tosses and captains meetings, spectators settle into their seats. Yes, there are seats available at every athletic facility on campus. No need to BYO camping chair. With the warm up clock winding down, the game announcer prepares to assume the role of “host” or “guide” for the event. Announcers proactively answer FAQs and repeat reminders about restroom locations and concessions opportunities. During home varsity football games and a few other home events, concessions even include burgers and hot dogs prepared by a crew of Wesleyan parents. “The grill team is a voluntary group that often leads to lifelong friendships,” explains Holst Beall, Wesleyan parent and resident “grill master.” “We are often flipping upwards of 200 cheeseburgers and hamburgers, and it is not unusual for visiting team fans to come by after eating their burger and tell us it’s one of the best they’ve ever had at a high school sporting event,” grins Beall. The grill team also shares burgers and dogs with referees at halftime and with visiting coaches postgame. For fans, the burgers and dogs fresh off the grill fuel fandom and enthusiasm, and as the “guide” for the event, the announcer sets the tone for how to funnel that excitement into encouraging the Wolves and respecting our opponents. “Sportsmanship is a critical component of hospitality,” reflects Gilbert. “Wesleyan athletes and fans should be cheering for Wesleyan, not against the opponent or official.”


NOTHING IN RETURN

Most opening announcements include an invitation to pray for all athletes, officials, and spectators. These prayers recognize God as the One who has given the talents on display and ask for Him to be glorified in the actions of everyone in attendance. If the game, match, or meet happens to fall on a Wesleyan senior night, announcers make it a point to recognize and celebrate the seniors from the opposing team before even naming the Wesleyan seniors.

AFTER THE

FINAL WHISTLE Win, lose, or tie, when the scoreboard hits 00:00, teams shake hands and return to their dugouts, locker rooms, and buses. Some visiting teams may still have significant travel ahead of them, and when that is the case, we try to offer pizza or another grab-n-go meal to simplify their return trip.

“We want every guest to leave Wesleyan with a positive experience, regardless of the outcome of the competition,” explains Gilbert. As the stadium clears, preparations are already being made for the next event. In order to extend the same level of hospitality at the next event, there are trashcans to be emptied, restrooms to be cleaned, and signage to be rearranged. We diligently steward our facilities with humility, asking our guests for nothing in return.

On a warm, cloudless evening in August, the Wesleyan community gathered to say thank you and to dedicate two new spaces on campus. Under a gorgeous sunset among hundreds of current and former students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, Studie and Zach Young Hall and Cathy and Rob Binion Plaza were formally dedicated. That night was a poignant one, a moment when Wesleyan was both looking back at the past and looking forward into the future. We simultaneously thanked two couples who

16

W E S L E YA N M A G A Z I N E • FA L L 2 0 2 5

deeply influenced and shaped the start of the Peachtree Corners campus, while also expectantly preparing for the use of a new space designed to equip students for decades to come. At the dedication event, Chris Cleveland, head of school, said, “Each year I have the honor of telling our new families about the early miracles of Wesleyan, and while we know the true miracles of this place are found in the changed lives of children, parents, and employees because of their time here, arriving at this night is another miracle to add to the story God is continuing to write in and through this place.” Cleveland recounted how planning for this campaign began as early as 2016. In the years that followed and in the midst of actively raising funds for the Hoyt Family Athletic Complex, Young Hall, and Binion Plaza, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic forcing all fundraising to pause. The halt in fundraising, combined with dramatic inflation in the years that followed, led the board of trustees to delay the groundbreaking for Young Hall and Binion Plaza by more than a year. While a disappointment at the time, Cleveland recalled how it was clearly God’s plan all along.

“God’s timing is perfect. His faithfulness never ceases.” Chris Cleveland, Head of School “The additional year gave us time we didn’t even know we needed to further refine the design of the building, as well as prepare our community for the disruption of a 12-month construction project in the middle of an active school campus,” explains Cleveland. The provision of planning, timing, and generosity was a common theme that night, as the community celebrated the completion of this project. “In our earliest days on the Peachtree Corners campus, Zach Young, then our headmaster, and our board leadership were steadfast in their view of campus planning,” recalled Cleveland. “They adopted a philosophy of essentially warehousing land whenever possible. So, when land that was adjacent to our campus became available for purchase, the board seriously considered purchasing it. “The original 53-acre land gift grew with the purchase of the land across the parkway beside the lake, what we now know as the Hoyt Family Athletic Complex and Davidson Natatorium.”

And it is the purchase of that land that made Young Hall a possibility. “Originally, our softball field was where Young Hall now stands. In order to build the building on the quad, we had to relocate that field,” explained Cleveland. “Wren Stadium and Agape Field are now on the land we acquired many years ago. We are fortunate to have early leadership with such wisdom as to secure land like they did.” Dedicated just in time to kick off the 2025-2026 school year, Studie and Zach Young Hall is a 48,000 square foot academic building that houses the STEM department, science department, offices of the associate head of school and college advising, the senior student lounge, the high school academic resource center (ARC), and offices for members of the high school administration like the senior grade chairs and the assistant dean of student life. The building also includes a prayer chapel, the Beaty Conference Room, and a large open stairwell that makes up the Murray Symposium and Lecture Space. Throughout the hallways, seating and workspaces abound. “We wanted to give students places to gather as a group or work independently,” says Jeff Pettit, construction project manager. “This building is also a central spot for students to wait for parents after school and a place for upperclassmen to hang out in the student lounge.”

SUPPORTING TOMORROW’S DECISION MAKERS Discussions about a new academic building on the quad have been in process since as early as 2016 and involved a significant amount of input from the faculty. “We knew we needed space, and we suspected it was going to be an academic addition,” recalls Cleveland. “Our leadership team worked alongside our academic department chairs and our talented and long-standing architect, Mike Mascheri from Chapman Coyle Chapman, to determine what the programming needs were for the space. Doing so allowed us to design a building to support our current and future academic needs, rather than building the space and forcing our academic programming to fit that space.” As those general programming space discussions were taking place, Wesleyan’s STEM program began to take shape. In 2018, the STEM program began a K-12 curricular overhaul that has led to the expansion of both academic and extracurricular offerings. “We now offer 21 STEM courses in grades K-12, all of which are either new or are a redesign of the previous curriculum,” says Randy Cailor, director of STEM. “We offer six courses in lower school, six in middle school, and nine in high school. In fact, in the 2025-2026 school year, 167 high school students will take at least one STEM class. This is 34% of our high school population.”

The science department also was involved in determining the programmatic needs of Young Hall. “We have a comprehensive core set of science classes including physics, chemistry, and biology,” says Anna Myrick, science department chair. “And we have honors and AP sections for each of those courses, in addition to a wide range of science electives. Being able to speak into the floorplan for the science classrooms and lab spaces in Young Hall was a gift that our students and faculty will benefit from for years to come.” It is common for lab-based science classes to use the same space for lectures and labs, but Young Hall offers dedicated space for both methods of learning. “With the amount of space provided and the ability to hold lectures in separate spaces, teachers are able to plan more detailed experiments,” Myrick goes on to say. “This configuration also allows our registrar to create additional sections of science classes when necessary.” Young Hall is also a space for student support departments like college advising and the high school ARC. Both of these spaces were also designed with the user and their needs in mind.

Building the program before the space allowed Wesleyan leadership to dream big and consider what could be possible with newer, larger, and more flexible classroom spaces. The STEM classrooms in Young Hall are open, with modular tables and tools, and have power from the ceiling to allow for whatever type of project students may work on in class. “Our expectation is that this program will continue to evolve over time reflecting the changes and needs of the world into which we are sending our students,” reflects Cailor. “As STEM teachers, our main job is to teach students to be problem-solvers for the future.”

When reflecting on the new ARC space, Karyn Vickery, director of academic support, says, “I am so moved by this space and the intentionality with which it was created. Our students’ needs and giving them the best space in which to learn and succeed was at the forefront of each decision. From lighting to furniture to flexibility of space, students feel welcome, known, and uplifted when they visit the ARC, and the physical space enables that warmth.” The high school ARC features moveable tables and chairs to provide modifiable classrooms to meet needs for group and independent work. Additionally, the furniture provides natural motion, which is linked to focus and productivity. High ceilings and moveable white boards allow students to bring learning to life by providing space to retrieve and visualize information. Larger classroom space allows for more relational cohort learning. Smaller group breakout space is used for individual or partner learning. Soft landing space in the common area provides students with a place to congregate, relax, and regroup during the day. “Our team loves that the ARC features lots of glass to allow for an open feeling and the opportunity for learning specialists to oversee multiple learning spaces,” explains Vickery. “We know that natural light is linked to productivity and improved mood, so this is a very productive and uplifting space!”

A NIGHT OF DEDICATION, CELEBRATION, AND GRATITUDE During the Young Hall and Binion Plaza dedication event in August, Cleveland spoke about Studie and Zach Young while Land Bridgers, chair of the board of trustees, spoke to honor Cathy and Rob Binion. Both shared the threads of faith, persistence, and commitment to Christian education that characterized the many years of service both couples have dedicated to the Wesleyan community. “It is not an exaggeration for me to say that none of us would be here tonight if not for the obedience and faithfulness of Studie and Zach Young,” Cleveland said that evening. “Our community stands on their shoulders and the foundation they laid for all of us.”

He went on to share the role that Studie played in convincing Zach to leave Westminster and come to Wesleyan, which was just a pile of dirt at the time. “None of it may have ever happened if not for Studie,” Cleveland recalled. “When Studie and Zach first walked this property, she was the one who heard God telling her that Zach needed to take this job. She was the one who told Zach he needed to come to Wesleyan. Having heard the story many times over the years, I am convinced that it was Studie’s quiet confidence and bold directness that ultimately tipped Zach in the direction of Wesleyan.


FULL CIRCLE

“I am equally confident that there is no way that Zach could have faithfully served as Wesleyan’s headmaster from 1996 to 2014 without Studie’s constant love, support, and encouragement,” Cleveland went on to say. “This is not a job one can do alone, and after his savior Jesus Christ, there is no one Zach relies on more than Studie.” It was not the buildings that the early families and employees of Wesleyan bought into, but rather the vision that Zach cast about what this school could become. The traditions of Wesleyan School are deeply rooted in Studie and Zach Young, in particular the school’s recitation verse of Psalm 24. Which is why you’ll find it front and center in Young Hall. While discussing Cathy and Rob Binion, Bridgers noted that Rob has served Wesleyan in some official capacity for more than 30 years. “As a board member, then board chair, and now vice chair of the board of trustees, Rob’s imprint on Wesleyan is long-standing and significant. In fact, Rob’s vision of what a Christian school could and should be laid the foundation for the Wesleyan we know today. More importantly, he never stopped working to make that vision a reality.”

Also deeply committed to serving our community, Cathy led our effort to start a school-owned Spirit Shop in 2015. “Cathy served as the manager of our Spirit Shop for a decade growing it into a valued – and highly profitable – hub of activity on campus,” Bridgers added. “Prior to working for Wesleyan, Cathy held just about every parent volunteer job on campus.” When we speak of the pioneers of Wesleyan, those who saw a vision when others saw dirt and trailers, many names come to mind. While we are grateful for each of them, the Youngs’ and the Binions’ impact on Wesleyan School cannot be overstated. Without these four generous and dedicated advocates, Wesleyan would not exist in the way we know it today. “Of all the plaques and inscriptions on our campus,” noted Cleveland, “my favorite has always been the one found on the front of Gillfillan Hall. It reads as follows: ‘May the world be better and heaven be richer because of the faith and works of the people of Wesleyan School.’ ” The world is certainly better and heaven certainly richer because of people like Studie and Zach Young and Cathy and Rob Binion.

Rob and Cathy Binion and Studie and Zach Young smile and applaud at the dedication. FA L L 2 0 2 5

Dear Mrs. Blankenship and Wesleyan community, This first assignment bowled me over! The tech team’s web of impact spreads far and wide — I had no idea. Tucked away in Chapman Library, the Help Desk houses a multitude of technological geniuses proficient in printing, Blackbaud, file recovery, computer repair, and audio-visual engineering. They’re chill and super friendly, and honestly, prior to this assignment, I had no clue what they did all day. But, did you know this team of technological super heroes manages more than 2,000 devices including computers, iPads, and smartboards across campus?! Turns out an issue with a wonky smartboard, a shattered tablet screen, or a malfunctioning microphone for a parent coffee all land at the feet of the technology team. “Everyone’s emergency feels important,” Andrew Blackburn, director of technology, explains, “but we often have to decide whose is truly urgent. We juggle everything from classroom interruptions to cybersecurity alerts, and it can be tricky because every request feels critical in the moment.” I spent my day at the Help Desk observing the team calmly handle one request after another. Here’s what I learned, broken down into byte-size chunks for the average Wolf:

Often, we don’t notice the technology department’s quiet, seamless operation because we’ve become accustomed to consistently reliable events without truly knowing the behind-the-scenes wizardry! At breakneck speed, this team works to resolve issues big and small, as 314 lower school students, 402 middle school students, 494 high school students, and 291 employees depend on their problem-solving skills to resume their planned tasks each day. All the lessons, presentations, and digital communication jolt to a halt until they iron out the kinks. On average, Wesleyan mailboxes collectively send about 9,000 emails and receive around 17,000 each day! That’s a lot of messages to recover if there is a glitch or hiccup. I think I’ll stick to the sideline cheers and photo shoots. The technological troubleshooting is a hair (or a fur!) too stressful for me. So next time you pass a technology wizard flying around on a golf cart, thank them for their tireless efforts. And be patient when things go awry, although they rarely do with these pros at the helm. “The best moments,” shares Blackburn, “are when technology fades into the background and teachers or students do not even think about it. That is when we know all the behind-the-scenes effort paid off.” We get to educate, host, entertain, and compete without disruptions because this crew handles all the curveballs, without need for applause and all with a smile on their faces and a twinkle in their eyes. If you ever need technological help or support, these are the friendly faces always willing to help you out! Wolfie Official Mascot Wesleyan School

JINGLE ALL THE

WESLEYAN WAY Celebrating J.O.Y., tradition, and togetherness across campus

There’s nothing quite like spreading holiday cheer Through Wesleyan traditions celebrated each year. Though we’re not gathered together on Christmas Day, Students, staff, and parents enjoy festivities the Wesleyan way! Creating a time so special requires dedication, So let’s explore these yuletide celebrations.

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS In total, about seven members of the facilities team work together over three days to decorate 40 spaces around campus, approximately 60 decorative light poles, both Wesleyan gates, and many front porches. “My favorite part of this time of year is enjoying how beautiful campus looks once decorated,” says SUYAPA BONO, director of operations. The Wesleyan Parents Club (WPC) helps to decorate the insides of Wesley, Warren, and Cleghorn Halls.

Fun Fact: The WPC decorates one Christmas tree per grade level. Parents contribute an ornament on their child’s behalf, and the ornament “travels” with their child’s grade level tree all the way to graduation!

With the help of student government, high schoolers enjoy many memorable traditions like pictures with Santa, the high school “Elf on the Shelf” challenge, an ugly Christmas sweater competition, R.A.M. (random acts of morale), and candy placed in shoes left outside classrooms.

“During high school Christmas celebrations, student government aims to embody the J.O.Y. motto by bringing glory to Christ’s birth and cheer to those around us,” explains DR. ADONNIS JULES, high school Bible teacher and student activities co-coordinator. “If there was ever a time to show J.O.Y., it’s Christmas time!”

Holiday Highlights WESLEYAN PARENTS CLUB CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT TRADITION

Since 1998, the Wesleyan Parents Club and the fine arts department have collaborated on an impactful annual Christmas ornament fundraiser. The ornament pairs a Bible verse with the creative work of a current Wesleyan student artist. This year’s student artist, ADDISON KANE ‘27, states, “I’ve always loved anything creative and art-related, so being able to create this ornament is an incredible opportunity to fuel my passion for the arts while also serving the Wesleyan community and Wesleyan Parents Club.”

We pray that the beauty of campus and the joy of traditions direct our focus onto Emmanuel, God with us. To those who make the celebrations happen, a big thank you to all, and to all, a good night!

High Expectations,

HIGH SUPPORT Of the many things parents look forward to over the course of their children’s lives, there are some seasons that have, shall we say, not the greatest reputation. Those ages when other, more seasoned parents will look at you and say things like, “Hang in there. Believe it or not, you’ll survive this too.”

delegating increased responsibility to your child. After all, we have to get out the door, right? But when we continue to shoulder all the tasks, we may unintentionally rob our child of an opportunity to develop independence and grow a healthy sense of self.

One of the life stages that many are advised to dread, prepare in advance for, and to reach for every resource available starts around middle school and extends well into the teenage years. And while some will remind us that this phase sometimes get an unfair rap, there are certainly challenges to the balancing act that begins to present itself as our children approach and then experience adolescence.

“One of the complex parts of parenting is that it is one of the only jobs in the world where if you’re doing it well, you slowly work yourself out of a job,” says Chris Cleveland, head of school. “Add to that the reality that teaching new skills to our children is often a lot of one step forward, two steps back, and you can see why it is often a real challenge when parents are working to expand their child’s independence.”

A key but difficult part of parenting a teenager is teaching independence. Knowing when to start extending opportunities for self-management to your child can be tricky, particularly when children do not master new skills overnight. Enter the temptation to go the route of doing the task for them, which feels more efficient...for now. In that cadence of progress then regression that often characterizes parenting, it can be tempting to delay

If you have been around Wesleyan’s campus for very long, you have likely heard administrators and faculty use the phrase, “high expectations and high support.” If asked to summarize our approach to helping students navigate growing up, this would be an excellent descriptor of Wesleyan’s philosophy.


Dr. Jason Erb, lower school principal, explains that, “The key is to offer opportunities to develop independence at the right pace for each individual child, to challenge them to keep growing, and to provide the support as they learn new skills – which inevitably will mean making missteps as they learn something new or grow towards independence.” Balance here is crucial. No one, regardless of age, wants to be held to an impossibly high standard that they have little chance of attaining, and most of us want to be given the chance to show what we can do and how we can grow. Young people are no different. Figuring out that pacing of developmentally appropriate selfmanagement and balancing the amount of scaffolding your child may need can be a tricky balance for parents. But it turns out that taking the time to sort that out is worth it in the long run, as research tells us that it is actually vital to your child’s mental and emotional well-being. In his recent book “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People,” David Yeager explores the core needs and desires of young people and how the adults working – and living – with them can adopt a healthy, mentor mindset focused on growth, genuine skill development, and honest, productive feedback and support. Young people face what Yeager calls “the adolescent predicament,” which can be defined as “the mismatch between young people’s neurobiological needs for status and respect and the level of status and respect afforded them by their current circumstances.”

“ Children are almost always capable of more than we might expect, and they relish being given responsibility. ” Dr. Jason Erb, lower school principal Yeager goes on to clarify that this is what happens when “adults force young people to choose between social survival (and risk long-term well-being) versus social harm (but better long-term well-being).” The desire for respect and status is hard-wired into the adolescent brain; sorting out how to fulfill that desire in a healthy, productive way is where adults can step in to support young people. “Upholding high standards can help maintain order and prevent the feared descent into chaos,” Yeager says in the book. “Simultaneously, the high levels of support convey how much we care for young people. By taking young people seriously and giving them the support they need to earn impressive reputations, we give them a route to status and respect. They get to earn prestige, which they need far more than a self-esteem puff-up.” Based on his research and work with young people, Yeager recommends that the adults in their lives adopt a mentor mindset which communicates high standards but also provides the high support to meet those expectations.

THE MENTOR MODEL at Wesleyan Wesleyan’s model for education is built around relationships. We believe that students learn best in the context of healthy, thriving relationships with each other and with the adults leading their classes, teams, arts endeavors, and STEM teams. As a result, both Wesleyan’s organizational model and school day schedule are built to cultivate those relationships.

In lower school, each classroom has a dedicated lead teacher, and each grade level is staffed by teaching assistants to serve as additional voices, feet, and ears to support our students. Combined with resource teachers and two division counselors, students have many adults to support them as they begin their school journey.

In middle school, the schedule includes even more structured time to engage with both peers and adults on campus. Flex times are used for large grade-level or division-wide meetings to speak with students on topics ranging from using their Wesleyan planners to how to engage with other people in a socially appropriate way to making wise choices with technology. In pack groups, each middle school student is assigned to a faculty-led small group of students that meets several times per month to get to know one another and build connection. High school students continue to see their margin for connection and mentorship expand. Weekly mentor groups place students in small group settings with a faculty member or administrator, and they keep this same group for four years. Dedicated grade-level meeting time, clubs on Fridays, and division-wide gatherings provide a chance for engagement with one another, and also some space to consider various important realties of being a high school student in 2025. Opportunities for mentorship and growth aren’t limited to scheduled meetings and gatherings. Just like educators map out a curriculum that builds year-to-year, at Wesleyan the administration has a planned path for allowing students to begin to take on more responsibility for their day-to-day. The goal is to create a training ground for taking on self-responsibility while surrounded by adults and support systems, which will give our students safe spaces to try new things, learn skills, and develop the pride and self-respect that comes with growing independence.

Providing opportunities for students to take developmentally appropriate risks is an important part of their education and overall childhood development. Wesleyan School works to support that with a wide range of growth opportunities for students as they get older. The goal is to create a sense of confidence to try new things in a space filled with supportive adults and processes to increase their likelihood of success and reinforce what they learn along the way.

SUMMER SABBATICALS: Exploring the world and enriching the classroom Each summer, Wesleyan’s Summer Sabbatical Program provides faculty with the chance to step outside the classroom and into transformative experiences that fuel professional growth, personal renewal, and meaningful learning opportunities. Whether through travel, study, service, or cultural immersion, sabbaticals

remind us that lifelong learning is essential for great teaching. This year, five Wesleyan teachers returned with stories of discovery that not only shaped their own perspectives but will also enrich the lives of their students.

MAGGIE MANSOUR ‘11 Discovering New Corners of France Maggie (Smith) Mansour ’11, 11th grade girls chair and French teacher, spent nearly three weeks in France this summer, exploring the Basque region, Bordeaux, and Paris. For Mansour, the sabbatical blended linguistic immersion, cultural exploration, and professional development, all of which will directly impact her students for years to come. The majority of her time was spent in Bayonne, a charming Basque city, where she joined an experiential program organized by The French Traveler. Alongside 15 participants from across the United States,

Mansour attended seminars on French politics, immigration, and cultural trends, while also experiencing the region firsthand through guided tours, cooking classes, and excursions into neighboring towns. From vineyard tours in Saint-Emilion to the sparkle of the Eiffel Tower on a final evening cruise along the Seine, the trip offered countless highlights. One of the most memorable moments came unexpectedly when Mansour stumbled upon a local choir concert in Bayonne’s botanical gardens. The performance of traditional Basque, Spanish, and French music was “unforgettable,” she recalls. Beyond personal enrichment, the sabbatical provided resources for her students. “Immersion helps me refine my own French so I can better teach,” she explains. “French culture is often equated only with Paris, but now I can introduce my students to the Basque region and Bordeaux, helping them see France as a tapestry of diverse regions.” For her Avanced Placement and honors students, these experiences will bring authenticity and depth to units on history, immigration, education, gastronomy, and the arts.

DEAN JACKSON

Walking Through History in Great Britain For Dean Jackson, seventh grade boys chair and Bible teacher, this summer’s sabbatical was deeply rooted in spiritual and historical exploration. Jackson spent two weeks in Great Britain, immersing himself in the history of the Catholic Church and the Church of England. His purpose was clear: to see as many churches as possible, especially those dating back to the Puritan settlers of the 1600s and earlier. From small-town sanctuaries to grand cathedrals, Jackson encountered the artistry and reverence that shaped centuries of worship. Particularly meaningful were baptismal fonts placed at the entrances of churches, symbolizing the beginning of the Christian journey. He also took note of Lady Chapels — smaller sanctuaries within churches dedicated to prayer.

“This trip was impactful not only to me personally, but also for my Bible teaching,” Jackson says. He explains that the experience gave him new perspectives that he hopes will encourage his students to see the richness of church history and the importance of worship practices in their own lives.

“Prayer is an obvious necessity to daily life, and their churches set apart a space for it,” Jackson reflects. The sabbatical will directly shape his classroom as Jackson plans to introduce a new seventh grade project exploring the contrasts of churches. “It will likely focus on the English and Scottish parts of the churches and why they were significant and necessary in older structures, as well as why modern churches no longer consider them to hold that same value,” says Jackson. Lined with photographs of the churches he visited, Jackson’s office in Wesley Hall serves as both a visual reminder and a conversation starter for students.

HEATHER NIEMANN Exploring Art and Tradition in Japan

Heather Niemann, middle school art teacher, spent 17 days in Japan this summer, exploring the country’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. Her journey took her through Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto, blending ancient tradition with modern innovation. For Niemann, the choice of Japan was intentional. “I wanted to better understand Eastern art and architecture,” she explains. Highlights included visits to the Meiji-Jingu Shrine, the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art, and even the artistry of Tokyo Disneyland. Equally meaningful were workshops in Kanzashi (floral hair ornaments), Kintsugi (pottery repair with gold), metal forging, and leading a traditional tea ceremony. Each hands-on experience gave Niemann new perspectives on beauty, restoration, and craft. To prepare, she immersed herself in Japanese literature, art accounts, and the writings of Makoto Fujimura, a Japanese-American artist and Christian author. These resources, combined with the trip itself, will directly shape her art curriculum.

ASHLEY KUEHNE & KRISTIE ONORATO A Shared Greek Adventure

Ashley Kuehne, middle school English teacher, and Kristie Onorato, middle school art teacher, took their sabbatical together, embarking on a journey through Greece that spanned Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. The trip was a blend of history, culture, and inspiration that now shapes their teaching. In Athens, their guided tour offered insights into Greek agriculture and culture. From there, they traveled to Mykonos, where they explored Little Venice, photographed iconic windmills, and climbed to hidden beaches. Their time in Santorini included a catamaran sailing excursion, gallery tours, and breathtaking views that left both teachers inspired. For Onorato, one unforgettable moment came on their very first night: hiking to the highest peak in Athens and watching the sun set over the city. “It was all so amazing for different reasons,” she says. “I’m still taken aback by the beauty of it all.”

to help her eighth graders visualize Homer’s “The Odyssey” and will collaborate with Onorato on a cross-curricular project about Greek gods. Meanwhile, Onorato will integrate her photographs into lessons on mosaics, pottery, glasswork, and sculpture and is considering a new series of paintings inspired by the journey. “Traveling there makes what we teach so much more alive,” Onorato reflects. “Now we can share not just the history, but our firsthand experience of it.”

Kuehne recalls a favorite early moment when locals in Athens invited them to join their table for an evening of food and music. “Being welcomed like that gave me a taste of true Greek hospitality,” she shares. Their sabbatical experiences will be making their way into Wesleyan classrooms. Kuehne plans to use photos from the trip

B I L LY C O X H E A D CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Since 1997, Billy Coxhead’s faith, frugality, and friendship have become deeply engrained in Wesleyan as an institution, and at his retirement, he leaves a legacy of wise discernment and responsible stewardship. “There were not a lot of financial reports or procedures in place when I started,” remembers Coxhead, “and it was a challenge and a thrill to many times start with a blank sheet of paper and go about the process of creating meaningful reports and procedures to help put the school on a firm financial foundation.” During his decades-long tenure, Coxhead has seen Wesleyan grow in every way imaginable - in student body, acreage, and programming. “However, during all those changes, a few major things have not changed,” reflects Coxhead. “The school’s mission of being a Christian school of academic excellence has not changed but only gotten stronger. In addition, the school has not wavered from its J.O.Y. motto of trying to put Jesus first, others second, and yourself last.” “Throughout his career, Billy has led the business office with a clear, faithful vision and a steadfast commitment to fiscal responsibility, and he has always put Jesus and the school’s mission at the forefront of all that he has done,” recalls JOHNNY TURNER, controller and incoming chief financial officer. Known for his unique quirks, Coxhead’s word puzzles during presentations kept faculty on their toes, and boys soccer teams from 1999 to 2020 will fondly remember pregame lasagna meals and Scattegories marathons. In his next chapter, Billy is excited to not be in a hurry quite as much; travel with his wife, Lori; play more tennis; and get more involved in his church.

SPIRIT SHOP MANAGER

For decades, Cathy Binion has served Wesleyan first as a volunteer and then as a staff member because of her commitment to our Christian mission and her love of this community. As the inaugural Spirit Shop Manager, Binion established the Spirit Shop not only as the home for uniforms and spirit wear, but also as a vibrant hub for middle and high school student activities. “This role gave me the joy of creating a safe, cheerful environment where students could shop, share stories, and celebrate their achievements,” reflects Binion. “Through my time at the Spirit Shop, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the tireless efforts of our administration, faculty, and staff. Their commitment to enriching the lives of our students is truly inspiring.” With Binion’s leadership, creativity, and business acumen, the Spirit Shop has served families with intentionality, enhanced the Wesleyan brand, and strengthened school enthusiasm. In addition to her role as the Spirit Shop Manager, Binion is mom to three alumni, Robert ‘05, Barrett ‘09, and Hannah ‘15, and wife to trustee and former board chair, Rob Binion, and in her next chapter, she is looking forward to enjoying more precious moments with her grandchildren, traveling, and spending quality time with family.

JEANNE MERTZ ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Jeanne Mertz has exemplified humble, faithful service to Wesleyan since 1985. Mertz’ longevity at Wesleyan is unmatched. She is the final Wesleyan employee who worked at the school when it was housed at Sandy Springs United Methodist Church and was known as Wesleyan Day School. “Jeanne has been a stable presence in the business office for 40 years. That is an incredible length of service that may never be reached by anyone else,” shares BILLY COXHEAD , chief financial officer. “It is hard to narrow the list down of her strengths to just a few greatest strengths, but the ones that immediately come to mind are her wisdom, steadfastness, faithfulness, trustworthiness, integrity, and unflappableness,” Coxhead explains. As Mertz moved from Dunwoody to Peachtree City and then to Peachtree Corners, she remained resolutely committed to serving Wesleyan, even when that required leaving her house at 5 a.m. to make it to school on time. Her faithful work ethic never wavered, and she is known for embodying Paul’s words to the church in Colossae: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

IN MEMORIAM

JOE ALBRIGHT DECEMBER 29, 1946 - JUNE 19, 2025 This summer, Wesleyan lost a beloved bus driver and friend. Joe Albright was one of Wesleyan’s first non-faculty bus drivers and an early participant in the carpool bus program. Known affectionately by students, parents, and colleagues as “Mr. Joe,” Albright began driving the Brookhaven route in the fall of 2016 and drove morning and afternoon routes until recent years when his health declined. “Mr. Joe had a big heart and faithfully served our community as a bus driver for many years,” says Todd Ashley, transportation coordinator. “He never met a stranger and enjoyed telling stories about his family, his service in Vietnam, and his interactions with students on the bus. Mr. Joe loved Wesleyan, and our community certainly loved him.” From left to right: Brian Weyandt, Ken Honeyman, Joe Albright, Terry Newman

Please join us in praying for Mr. Joe’s family and friends.

APRIL 24 - 25, 2026 Mark your calendars to join us for the 28th annual Wesleyan Artist Market benefiting the Wesleyan Arts Alliance in support of Wesleyan Fine Arts. Showcasing approximately 80 professional artists from across the region, the Market includes oil, acrylic, drawing, watercolor, photography, ceramics, jewelry, and more!

DESIGNING HER PATH A CONVERSATION WITH SHERIDAN DAVENPORT ON ART, ATHLETICS, AND LANDING YOUR DREAM ROLE

Since graduating from Wesleyan, SHERIDAN DAVENPORT ‘16 has sought out many opportunities to grow as an artist, professor, athlete, and person. From dedicating herself to the delicate craft of design to disciplining herself to thrive as a college athlete, Sheridan’s ambition continues to grow. As the first African American female student to graduate with a graphic design degree from Xavier University and now a tenure-track professor there, Davenport thanks Wesleyan for creating opportunities to find her passions and providing mentors to help her navigate the noise along the way.

HOW DID WESLEYAN HELP LAY A FOUNDATION FOR WHO YOU ARE TODAY?

“MEAGAN BROOKER, [assistant director of fine arts and high school visual art teacher,] was a huge inspiration for a lot of it. I got to know her very well, and she helped me understand what graphic design was and planted the seed that made me interested in it. I ran track in high school and wanted to run track in college as well. However, my junior year, I got a stress reaction, and when you get injured during your junior year of high school, it really has the potential to derail your ability to be recruited. Being injured during this time gave me more time to gain an interest in and work on art. I knew I liked art, and I was decent at it, but it was just a secondary thing. That injury and Mrs. Brooker’s willingness to go out of her way to help me and give me more of her time is what really made a difference. I knew that being creative was something that I would always want to prioritize in my life, and she helped me get there.”

D E S I G N I N G H E R PAT H : S H E R I D A N D AV E N P O R T ‘ 1 6

HOW WAS THE TRANSITION FROM WESLEYAN TO XAVIER UNIVERSITY? “By the time I was a senior, I realized I wanted to run track and be a graphic design major, which narrowed down which schools I was looking at. I knew I wanted to run (and not just on a club team). Most schools don’t have graphic design, so Xavier quickly became the top option. I toured several times, and I absolutely loved the community on campus. My parents were always very encouraging about seeing different parts of the country. And so being a Southern girl, I knew I wanted to either go to the Midwest, Northeast, or West Coast. So, I ended up in the Midwest!”

AS THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN TO GRADUATE WITH A GRAPHIC DESIGN DEGREE FROM XAVIER, HOW DO YOU VIEW THE IMPORTANCE OF REPRESENTATION IN CREATIVE FIELDS?

“Many people feel like they have to study something they deem practical, even if it’s a field that doesn’t align with their strengths. Most people, especially minorities, are told that being a doctor or a lawyer is the best option, but not everybody is meant to be a doctor or a lawyer. College is an unbelievable way to grow and to become the person that you’re supposed to be, and if that person is very interested and very good at being creative, then they should by all means study graphic design or another creative adjacent field. I just know that there are a ton of other black students who probably wanted to study design but felt like they couldn’t or needed permission to do it. I don’t take it lightly that I get to be an example for all my students. I want to be a testament to ‘if you are creative, you should invest in those skills.’”

54

W E S L E YA N M A G A Z I N E • FA L L 2 0 2 5

WHAT DID BEING AN ARTIST AND AN ATHLETE LOOK LIKE WHILE IN COLLEGE? “When you’re an art major, the options for different class times are limited. For example, there’s only one drawing class or history of graphic design class, and if you can’t take it then, you’re not graduating! Most of the time, I could make my normal track practice schedules, but sometimes I would have to go and practice on my own because I would be in an art class during the scheduled practice time. It was very complex; it took a lot of discipline.”

IS THERE ANYTHING FROM YOUR PAST EXPERIENCES OR HOBBIES THAT INFLUENCES OR ENHANCES YOUR APPROACH TO TEACHING?

“Doing a variety of projects has really helped. The agency that I worked for before this position started out as just a media company, which means only doing photo and video production. When I was there, they expanded into graphic design. Due to this, I needed to be able to understand how to facilitate an entire project from the ground up. From coming up with the company’s branding to making the content, this experience equipped me to create projects that teach students how to think two steps ahead. A lot of times people will see a creative brief, and they will only think about the logo and trendy colors, but are you thinking about where it is actually being applied? That past experience really helped me to be more creative with how I teach and come up with projects that are truly relevant to what students need to know today.”


ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

PORTFOLIO: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RETURN TO TEACHING AFTER GRADUATING? “In 2023, Xavier reached out to me saying they needed an adjunct professor at the very last minute to teach the 200-level general graphic design class. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I actually loved it! I loved being able to see the ideas that my students were coming up with and help them actualize their ideas. Also, once I got out and was working professionally, I began thinking through ways to improve collegiate graphic design programs. I was really excited to take the opportunity to teach the students how to learn new things. I would say it’s a God thing because I wasn’t actively looking to teach when I first started as an adjunct. Now, it feels like exactly what I am supposed to be doing.”

IS THERE A PROJECT THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON NOW THAT YOU’RE EXCITED ABOUT?

“I think my favorite project is my current project with an art group called Black Art Speaks. Through that collective, I was chosen to create a piece for the Cincinnati Convention Center. I had an idea to do a giant wood carving of Music Hall, which is one of Cincinnati’s most historic buildings, and it was selected! I have a team because I am not a woodworker, but that is one of the biggest things that I’m excited about right now having public art is insane!”

ANNUAL REPORT

64

D E A R W E S L E YA N F A M I LY & F R I E N D S , Thank you for taking the time to review our Annual Report for the 2024–2025 school year, a summary of the efforts of so many to support Wesleyan financially. In the pages that follow, you can read summaries of the Campaign for Students capital campaign, Wesleyan Fund, alumni giving, special gifts, Georgia GOAL, endowments, and the Legacy Society. It is a joy to be able to report to you all these wonderful accomplishments that aid in furthering our school’s mission of being “a Christian school of academic excellence.” I hope you will take the time to review the results of these efforts and share in my gratitude and humility as you think about the countless lives of children who have been and will forever be impacted through the generosity of Wesleyan families, friends, and graduates. By almost any metric you choose, the health of our school is strong. However, as wonderful as these results and metrics are, these are not the things that drive us. These are by-products of a school culture driven by consistently working to further the Christian mission and make the experience better for our current students and families. This strategic focus led us to the Campaign for Students. By successfully finishing Phases I & II of the campaign, we completed all projects at the Hoyt Family Athletic Complex in the fall of 2020 and opened Studie & Zach Young Hall in August 2025. Young Hall is a two-story, 48,000 square foot academic building that houses all middle and high school STEM classrooms, larger high school science labs and classrooms, a college advising suite, office and meeting spaces, and a prayer chapel. Young Hall is equipped with updated technology and has spaces that can easily be transformed and reconfigured to meet a range of academic offerings and activities. I am also happy to report that the Wesleyan Fund achieved 97% parent participation in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which means we have achieved 95% or greater participation for the 23rd time in the last 25 years. The national average for independent school parent participation in annual giving is 66%. The total amount raised in this year’s Wesleyan Fund totaled $1.656 million, which is a new school record. I am also excited to share that alumni giving raised $94,309, representing a 58% increase from the previous year. We received gifts from members of every graduating class from 1998 to 2024, and 100% of our Legacy Wolf families (alumni with children at Wesleyan) participated this year. Since the Wesleyan Fund and the Alumni Fund directly support faculty salaries and benefits and need-based financial aid, this year’s success puts us in the strongest position to offer competitive compensation packages to our employees, while also making robust financial aid available to qualified applicants. Thank you for your investment in the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of children, and thank you for furthering the Kingdom through the mission of Wesleyan School. I continue to be grateful to you for your ongoing support of our school and your confidence in us. I am grateful to God for His many blessings on our school and pray that He will continue to bless you and Wesleyan School over the course of this next year.

Sincerely,

Chad McDaniel, Chief Development Officer

C A M PA I G N FOR S TUDENTS

From the earliest days of Wesleyan School, we have been blessed by incredible generosity, with more than $198 million raised to fund six capital campaigns since 1996. These campaigns built our campus and created an endowment that will have an eternal impact on students, faculty, parents, and friends of Wesleyan. Completed in the summer of 2025, Phase II of the Campaign for Students funded Young Hall as Wesleyan has continued to expand offerings in technology and engineering. This new, two-story 48,000 square foot academic building is equipped with updated technology and has multi-use spaces that easily transform and reconfigure to meet a range of academic offerings and activities.

W E S L E YA N FUND

The Wesleyan Fund is the foundation of all Wesleyan fundraising efforts, and each year, we ask every family to participate. Wesleyan is a community with a history and heart for philanthropy. For 23 of the past 25 years, we met or exceeded 95% parent participation. Supporting the Wesleyan Fund allows us to hire and retain the best and brightest teachers, fund need-based financial aid, and remain need-blind in the admissions process. When we find an excellent teacher who also wants to coach a sport, lead in the arts, host a Bible study, and give up his/her spring break to go on a mission trip with our students, we want that person to sign our contract every year and make a career at Wesleyan. Being need-blind in the admissions process allows us to accept students based upon their academic merit, not their parents’ ability to pay. The student experience is enhanced when talented young people, regardless of family income, are a part of our community. It is truly humbling to think about the generosity of the pioneering families of Wesleyan School from the earliest years in Peachtree Corners. They were so committed to the mission of Wesleyan that they sent their children to school in trailers and ultimately built and paid for what we enjoy today. To honor their legacy and follow the call of Christ, we must continue to push ahead for current and future generations of Wesleyan students.

**This listing does not include alumni unless they are a teacher, board member, or a current parent.

Financial aid has become increasingly important to Wesleyan. Since 2008, the state of Georgia has allowed for the redirection of state income tax liability to a qualified student scholarship program for the purpose of need-based financial aid. Wesleyan participates with the qualified student scholarship program known as Georgia GOAL. Through the GOAL program, Wesleyan has provided aid to students whom we might otherwise not have been able to serve, thus furthering Wesleyan’s ability to fulfill its Christian mission.

$

OF TAX REDIRECTION in support of need-based financial aid

G E O R G I A G O A L FA Q S Q : W H AT I S G E O R G I A G O A L ? A: The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is an initiative that allows Georgia taxpayers to redirect a portion of their state income taxes to provide need-based financial aid for students attending their choice of private K-12 school. This is an opportunity for you to increase your giving to a place that is special to you and your family without coming out of pocket one additional dollar, as you are redirecting money to Wesleyan that you would already be paying to the state.

Q : H O W D O E S G E O R G I A G O A L I M PA C T M Y S TAT E I N C O M E TA X E S ? A: Individuals and businesses can contribute to GOAL and receive a 100% state income tax credit. This is about as efficient of a tax benefit as you can get, as it is a dollarfor-dollar credit (not deduction) on your state of Georgia income tax.

Q : H O W D O E S G E O R G I A G O A L H E L P W E S L E YA N ?

Q : H O W D O I PA R T I C I PAT E ?

A: GOAL helps Wesleyan continue to provide robust needbased financial aid. The heart of Wesleyan is to be a place that reflects the diverse body of Christ, including socioeconomic diversity.

ENDOWMENTS GENERAL FINANCIAL AID ENDOWMENT FUNDS Barbara F. Adler Scholarship Fund Established in 1992, Wesleyan’s first financial aid scholarship fund was to honor Barbara F. Adler, who was Head of School when the decision was made to move to Peachtree Corners. All unrestricted financial aid donations are placed in this fund and are shown in the Capital Campaign section of the annual report. J.O.Y. Financial Aid Endowment Established in 2008 through the generosity of two anonymous donors, their challenge gifts totaling $150,000 were donated to encourage others to give. The income from these two gifts supports need-based financial aid. These donors’ generosity had a huge impact on Wesleyan’s financial aid funds by encouraging others to make likeminded gifts. Legacy Financial Aid Endowment Established in 2008 through the generosity of an anonymous friend of Wesleyan School, this gift of $100,000 provides the income for partial financial aid to a deserving student. The donor remarked that he made his gift at this time so that students in need could benefit immediately.

PA R E N T / A L U M N I S C H O L A R S H I P F U N D S The following parents of Wesleyan students and graduates followed the lead of William and Angie Hoyt in establishing significant financial aid funds in honor of their children.

GENERAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS General Scholarship Fund Established in 1995, Wesleyan has a general scholarship fund that provides financial aid to students with need.

OPPORTUNITIES TO L E AV E A legacy THE ENDOWMENT FUND The Endowment Fund For Wesleyan to be a top-tier institution, endowment becomes a pressing need. Endowments are a pool of funds that continue in perpetuity. A designated portion of the return (currently 4%) provides a stream of income to support financial aid, faculty salaries, and capital maintenance. We currently have ongoing needs to add to our current endowment of nearly $32.5 million. There are three major components of the Endowment Fund: Financial Aid Endowment funds for financial aid allow Wesleyan to help current Wesleyan families in need. In addition, financial aid also provides educational opportunities for students with diverse talents, backgrounds, and interests who will enhance Wesleyan’s student body. Capital Endowment New buildings have been built, but as they age, they will always require new roofs, new chillers, and major IT improvements. This endowment allows us to enhance these structures.

Faculty Salaries Wesleyan’s commitment is to hire only faculty members who exhibit a personal Christian faith. Every faculty member is expected to lead, teach, and mentor our students by example in the way they conduct their own lives. Endowment for faculty salaries enables the school to attract and retain Christian faculty of the highest caliber.

Legacy Society Wesleyan, like all independent schools, exists because someone felt a need for the institution. There are only three ways to fund a school such as Wesleyan: tuition, annual giving, and income from endowment. Currently, our endowment provides less than 1% of the operating budget. Ideally, it needs to provide at least 15%. For Wesleyan to be in the top-tier of schools, we need to dramatically raise our endowment to at least $50 million. One of the best ways to do this is through Legacy Society gifts of life insurance, charitable trusts, will bequests, or retirement plan assets. From our original group of 15 donors, the Legacy Society has grown to more than 65, including the entire board of trustees. These people are making a permanent gift that outlasts their tenure as parents and, above that, their service to the school. Particularly in this area, we are grateful for the small and knowledgeable group of volunteers who work with the Office of Development to direct our planned giving efforts.

Bequests Including Wesleyan School as a beneficiary in one’s will provides a meaningful future gift to the school, as well as savings in estate taxes. Life Insurance Policies A life insurance policy naming Wesleyan School as owner and beneficiary may provide a substantial future gift to the school. The value of the policy, as well as the annual premium payments, may be tax-deductible and will be treated as annual gifts to the school. Charitable Trusts Charitable remainder trusts may provide lifetime income, immediate tax savings, and avoidance of capital gains tax while establishing a major gift for Wesleyan as the trust’s ultimate beneficiary.

GIVING TO WESLEYAN

MEMBERS

OF THE LEGACY SOCIETY

Wesleyan Fund

Since tuition does not cover the full cost of a Wesleyan education, tax-deductible gifts to the Wesleyan Fund fulfill a number of needs. These unrestricted contributions supplement the school’s operating budget and provide dollars needed for faculty salaries and financial aid. The entire Wesleyan community is asked to give to the Wesleyan Fund. The Wesleyan Fund begins July 1 and ends June 30, coinciding with our fiscal year.

Capital Campaign

The financial support of this school is dependent upon the support of every family. Capital campaigns exist to fund new buildings, purchase additional land, and grow the endowment for the school.

Restricted & Memorial Gifts

These gifts are designated for specific requests for program and extracurricular activities.
