Daily Chapel is at the heart of the EHS experience, a place where each member of our community can come together to reflect, to worship, and to share sacred time and space before God. The renewal of the Benitez Chapel will allow for greater capacity, greater engagement, and expanded programming. The new Chapel design will:

• Bring students closer to the altar, providing deeper student participation and engagement.
• Provide more space to welcome parents, visitors, and guest speakers to campus.
• Include a balcony that will provide flexible configurations for musical and vocal performances as well as additional seating.
• Consolidate wellness, counseling, and pastoral care in a new Mental Health and Wellness Center, allowing for more cohesive and personalized student care.
• Feature a labyrinth garden, easily accessible for mindful reflection, and available to everyone every day.

The EHS Endowment ensures our School’s success by providing a long-term, stable source of income in perpetuity, strengthening our financial foundation and ongoing commitment to a Four-Pillar education.

The Endowment creates a lasting impact that extends well beyond the current horizon by providing:

• Program Enhancement – Enhances the growth and enrichment of the Four Pillars - academics, arts, athletics, and religion.
• Faculty Support – Supports salaries and professional development opportunities to attract and retain top educators.
• Tuition Assistance – Supports financial aid programs, reflecting one of the core tenets of our founding.
• Facility Improvements – Supports maintenance of campus buildings and infrastructure.
• Innovation Funding – Allows for investment in new initiatives, curriculum development, and technology upgrades.
• Financial Stability – Helps minimize tuition increases and ensures that funding is available during unforeseen events.
• Competitive Advantage – Enhances institutional reputation and strengthens the School’s ability to compete with peer institutions.

Continuing to invest in the Endowment will foster the ongoing growth of our School’s founding principles: a strong sense of community, individualized instruction from teachers, increased opportunities across each of the Four Pillars, and a commitment to Daily Chapel.

The arts program is a beloved cornerstone of the EHS curriculum, not only because it fosters creativity and self-discovery but also because it sparks out-of-the-box thinking—which many of our alums cite as the reason for their successful careers. The Stand for EHS campaign will prioritize the arts with a new Crain-Galloway Center for the Arts, which will:

• Serve as a modern and dynamic facility in the center of campus that will house over 50 courses and 17 full-time faculty.
• Increase space for the arts by 52% (from 40,000 to 61,000 square feet).
• Allow for cross-curricular collaboration to flourish.
• Feature more than 12 performing arts mainstage dance, music, and theatre productions.
• Propel students and support best-in-class programs, in addition to creating opportunities for guest artists and partnerships.
• Introduce new equipment that allows students hands-on experience with everything from modern theatrical equipment to the latest digital animation technology.
• Continue to educate well-rounded students who are also world-class artists.
