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 Visual and Performing Arts Center, 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.

Daily Chapel is at the heart of the EHS experience, a place where each member of our community can come together to reflect, to form their faith, and to share sacred time and space before God. The renewal of the Benitez Chapel will allow for greater capacity, greater enjoyment, 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.

• Investing in the EHS endowment fosters the ongoing growth of our 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 and Episcopalian worship.
• An investment in the endowment is an investment in lasting impact. Your support ensures that an EHS education remains affordable and provides the highest academic quality, regardless of the economic situation outside our walls.
