This year, the Episcopal Academy Upper School has the privilege of welcoming new faculty members into our community. Each new member was brought to this school because of their expertise in their field and passion for teaching. In order to put names to faces and get a better idea of who they are, here are some quick blurbs about each teacher and what they bring to the EA community.
