Dads Club
A Letter from the President

2023-2024 Dads Club PresidentConnelly McGreevy
Dear Parents:
On behalf of the Episcopal High School Dad’s Club, I am pleased to welcome everyone back to campus for the 2023-2024 school year. I want to take the opportunity to introduce myself and our organization to our new and returning families.
I started my relationship with EHS in 1985 as a freshman and have been involved with the school over the last 38 years. I am the proud father of two graduates and a current senior, so EHS has played a very important role in my life. Speaking from personal experience, no matter the interest of your student, I can think of no better high school for your child. Episcopal truly has something special to offer every student. EHS also has something special to offer the fathers: the Dad’s Club.
Every father of an Episcopal student is automatically a member of the Dads Club and as your incoming President, I want to share some background on the Club itself. Our mission is to promote involvement in the school through three primary functions
- Five breakfast meetings during the school year held at EHS for dad’s fellowship, coupled with presentations from school leaders and students from each of our four pillars (academics, athletics, religion, arts) and college counseling.
- Funding of “one-off” requests from various school departments that cannot be satisfied though the school’s normal operating budget.
- Opportunities to get involved and have fun with fellow dads at a wide range of events, from our annual golf tournament to grill / concession stand duty at EHS sporting events.
In addition to our annual dues ($100 per EHS family….part of your annual tuition bill) our annual budget is funded primarily from proceeds raised from our golf tournament. We are very proud to share that we have raised, and given to various EHS causes, in excess of $2,300,000, over the life of the Dad’s Club. Examples of past projects funded by the Dad’s Club include AV equipment, prayer books, a 3-D printer, the annual Challenger Football Game, Faculty / Staff appreciation gifts, Choir Vestments and most recently the new Dean Colello Press Box – contributions to all four pillars of EHS. As an organization, we are very proud of these contributions and look forward to awarding additional funds in the years to come, across all four pillars of EHS.
The best way to learn more about EHS, and the Dad’s Club in particular, is to attend our breakfast meetings held on campus. Our first meeting will be August 18th, where we will gather at 7am to hear from representatives of our Athletic Pillar. Athletic Director Jason Grove and our coaches for all our fall sports will provide an update on our athletic program. Additional breakfast meetings are scheduled for 7am on October 20th, January 19th, March 1st and April 12th, where we will have similar programming highlighting current events in the academic, religion and arts pillars, as well as a presentation from Julie Rollins, head of EHS College Counseling. You do not want to miss these events, as we hear from teachers, coaches, administrators and some of our very talented students.
As mentioned earlier, our golf tournament, which is scheduled for Monday April 15, 2024, is structured as a four-man scramble, with loads of added features to ensure even the most casual golfer has a great time. It is not free (remember, it’s our largest fundraiser of the year), but very reasonably priced (and open for both dads AND moms to enjoy). Make plans to participate next spring and start putting together your foursome.
The EHS experience is best enjoyed by saying “yes” to opportunities to get involved. And for EHS dads, the Dad’s Club is your home at the school. Come join us. I look forward to a fantastic school year and all the opportunities to spend time with the EHS dads.
Warm regards,
Connelly McGreevy ‘89
EHS Dad’s Club President
Father of Molly ‘19, Jack ’21 and Matthew ‘24
