Traditions
Ringing of the Bell . . . Convocation . . . Handshake Ceremony . . .Homecoming Tailgate . . . Spirit Week . . . Fall Festival . . . Class Day . . . Kindergarten/Senior Buddies . . . Advisory Olympics . . . The sense of community is strong at Episcopal Collegiate, almost palpable. That's because we have established traditions that bring our 790 individual students together — to greet each other, to learn about each other, to sing, and to celebrate, and to say goodbye. Some of our traditions happen once a year; some happen every day or every week. Below are some of our favorites.
"I know that they have adults in their lives, on this campus, who have shifted their paths and helped them make the most of their natural abilities. That is the beauty of schools like ours and those stories are a source of tremendous pride for all of us," Class Day Address by Dr. David Perkinson, Head of School.
As Episcopal marked the transition of students to higher grade levels, Father Leacock calls on students not to think of it as only moving up, but also inward, within, and outward. "Our movement ought not be a narrow climb, but an expansive movement to be in the world, to see and know and understand who our neighbors are beyond the boundaries of this campus, and to understand where our greatest passions and the world's deepest needs meet."
"It's one of our favorite days," said Head of School David Perkinson, noting that the school has held Grandparents and Friends Day every year for the past 17 years.
Don't miss Aaron, the Allergic Shepherd and Miracle on Bethlehem Street performed by our PreK-5th grade students, December 14 and 15.
Sing-a-longs, lessons and carols, concerts, tree trimming, cookie decorating, and more usher in the Christmas season at Episcopal Collegiate!
