The Tartan Society The Tartan Society serves as the leadership giving society for Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School, recognizing donors whose generous support of The Saint Thomas’ Fund reflects a deep commitment to the mission, vision, and future of STE. Tartan Society members understand the lasting impact their investment has on the student experience, helping strengthen academics, athletics, fine arts, Scottish Arts, spiritual life, faculty excellence, and campus enhancements across every division of the school. With five levels of giving beginning at $1,000, The Tartan Society honors and celebrates its members through meaningful recognition and exclusive engagement opportunities throughout the year. This year, more than 125 households joined The Tartan Society and collectively contributed nearly $350,000 to The Saint Thomas’ Fund. This extraordinary level of support speaks volumes about the confidence our community has in STE and its future. Throughout the 2025–2026 school year, Tartan Society members gathered for several special events designed to celebrate generosity, build community, and offer a deeper look into the life and vision of the school. In August, supporters gathered at Grotto for a kickoff reception celebrating the start of the school year and honoring our returning leadership donors. In January, members enjoyed a cozy evening in the courtyard while receiving a special preview of STE’s developing strategic plan and future priorities. In addition to these gatherings, Tartan Society House Parties offered members and prospective supporters opportunities to connect in a more personal setting while learning about the impact of The Saint Thomas’ Fund. We extend our heartfelt thanks to this year’s Tartan House Party hosts:
Cettina & Thomas Halsey Suzanne & Wayne Knupp
Ann & Tony Loayza Katherine & Jon Palmer
Kelly & Jared Cmaidalka Rob Scholl ‘96
This spring, STE also hosted two Impact Days for select leadership donors, offering an inside look at key areas of growth and investment across campus. One Impact Day highlighted STE’s continued focus on STEM programming and innovation, while the second centered on missional and academic initiatives that continue to shape the student experience and strengthen our Episcopal identity. These opportunities allowed supporters to see firsthand the meaningful difference their generosity makes in the daily lives of our students and faculty. We are deeply grateful to every Tartan Society member for their generosity, leadership, and steadfast commitment to Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School. Through their support of The Saint Thomas’ Fund, these dedicated donors help provide exceptional opportunities for our students, strengthen our faculty, enhance campus programs, and advance the mission of STE. Thank you for helping shape the future of STE through your extraordinary support.
