Upcoming Streaming Events for Seniors Two upcoming senior events that their families near and far away may be interested in viewing are Senior Tribute Chapel and Baccalaureate. Senior Tribute Chapel is an often lighthearted and always meaningful celebration of the senior class, in which several faculty members offer tribute presentations and pearls of wisdom for life after EHS. The service ends with what we call our "Four Pillar Blessing" of the class. This year, to accommodate social distancing needs, seniors will gather in the Simmons Field bleachers for the service, with all other students livestreaming it to their advisory classrooms. This livestream at 10:40 a.m. on May 7 is also available to interested family members and friends through our school website and will be archived there for those who wish to view it at a later time. Baccalaureate is a worship service on the eve of our commencement ceremony. In this liturgy of Evening Prayer, we give thanks to God for our time together and offer inspiration to our graduating class as they prepare to step forth into their lives beyond Episcopal High School. Our speaker this year is the Right Reverend Héctor F. Monterroso, Bishop Assistant of the Diocese of Texas. This beautiful and reverent service has been pre-recorded in the Benitez Chapel and will be presented by livestream at 5:00 p.m. on May 15. It can also be accessed through our school website and will be archived there for those who wish to view it at a later time.
