Alumni Leadership Day - Our 4th annual Alumni Leadership Day brought more than 40 alumni back to campus, where they shared advice about careers, college, and life in general. After seniors visited panels discussing fields such as business, real estate, marketing, medicine, the arts, computer science, and more, a roundtable luncheon took place in the new Underwood Student Center. Current parent Paul Palmer keynoted the luncheon and shared thoughts on artificial intelligence and its impact on future careers.

From the Academics Pillar: Advisory Plans Discussion for Juniors and Seniors this Week
During advisory on October 30, the junior and senior classes will participate in discussion sessions about gender stereotypes and affirmative consent. On October 31, the juniors and seniors will hear a speaker from the Houston Area Women's Center on the subject. As a school, we believe that students must have a greater understanding about these areas in order to live lives of significance in service to others.
We understand that conversations about gender stereotypes and consent are not inherently about sex. Instead, they are about the worth and dignity of the individual, values deeply embedded in the Christian faith and EHS's mission.
Through these sessions, we will begin to give our students the skills and knowledge they will need to assertively say no to behaviors or actions they do not agree with. We will teach them that when someone establishes a boundary, we must respect it in order to preserve the dignity of the person saying no. We will emphasize the importance of consent in healthy relationships.
We invite you to ask your students about the advisory discussions and to continue the conversations at home. If you have questions, please contact Associate Head of School Nancy Eisenberg at neisenberg@ehshouston.org.
