“Doing the musical my senior year for the first time! It was such a rewarding experience. ” -Parisa Afsharian 

“My favorite memory from Episcopal was doing the Pie Race Video in Mr. Gibbs’ 8th grade Video Production Class. I remember how much fun we had doing that and showing the whole middle of the video on the day of the Pie Race.” – McKee Bond

“I have so many amazing memories. It is so difficult to choose! One of my favorite memories was performing Chicago for the first time.”  -Emma Humann 

“My favorite EA memories are every AIS day. The race is exciting, and I can’t help but sprint off the start line. People line the course and scream so loud – it’s so much fun!”  -Caitlin Jorgensen 

What will you miss most about EA?

“I’ll miss the dance team, my underclassmen friends, and most definitely the memorable teachers that dedicate so much to students (shout-out to Mrs. Billmyer, Doc B., and Mrs. Barr!).” -Hope Biddle 

“I’m definitely going to miss the arts program the most, specifically Vocal Ensemble and the theatre productions. They’ve played such a large role in my life over the past few years and Mr. Erwin has especially impacted my EA experience in a really positive way.” – Jack Franklin 

“I will miss my teachers the most out of anything. The teachers at EA really care about their students and some have truly impacted my life.” -Vinny Musunuri

“All the great teachers and coaches that I have learned so much from throughout the last few years.” – Celeste Graham

What are you most excited about for the future?

“I’m most excited to experience a more independent life in the city next year and apply all the lessons I’ve learned at EA over the past eight years in a positive manner to the larger world around me.”- Jack Franklin 

“I’m excited for a new beginning in college, getting to meet new people, and moving to a new place.” -Grace Szafara

“I am excited to be on my own in college. While the thought of being on my own after 18 years under the guidance of my parents is somewhat nerve-racking, by being independent, I’ll be forced to learn new things and truly grow as a person, which I am excited for.” – Vinny Musunuri

“Since I am going to music school, I will be able to focus on what I really love.” – Emma Humann 

Do you have any words of wisdom for the class of 2020?

“Do what you love. And try new things. Just because you might not be popular or friends with some doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do what you love.” – Alexandra Conroy 

“Continue to work hard so that you can enjoy the last stretch of your senior year with your classmates and remind yourself how lucky you are to attend such an amazing school.” – Celeste Graham 

“Get common app, SAT/ACT, and essays done WAY before the deadline. It helps relieve the stress by a mile. Also talk to people you never really got the chance to know because you might not see them after senior year and make sure to show your favorite teachers how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication.” – Hope Biddle 

“Don’t stress out too much over college decisions. Everyone says it, but it truly does all work out in the end! Keep an open mind.” – Grace Hennigan
