As Director of College Counseling, Phil Hooper calls upon a combined 21 years of experience in college guidance work, nine in college admissions, and twelve as a secondary school college counselor. A native of Little Rock, Phil first started in college admissions at his alma mater, Hendrix College, soon after his graduation from there in 1981. He later joined the admissions staff at Rhodes College in Memphis, serving as the Assistant Director of Admissions. In 1990 he became the Director of College Advising at Harpeth Hall in Nashville, Tennessee, where he also spent time working toward a master's degree at Vanderbilt University. After eight years at Harpeth Hall, Phil took the job as Director of Admissions at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1999 Phil was invited to take the Director of College Counseling position at Hutchison School in Memphis, Tennessee, where he served for three years before taking his current position here at Episcopal Collegiate.

Over his 21 years in the field, Phil has amassed visits to over 200 colleges and universities around the country. Moreover, he has developed over time a strong working relationship with many admissions deans and directors, as well as scores of other admissions officers, at numerous institutions of interest to Episcopal Collegiate students and their parents.
