Dear STE Community,
Thank you for all you did to make my first year at STE such a wonderful one! My family and I have been warmly welcomed into the life of the school. All five of our children are thriving here, and my wife, Anne, has been blessed to serve alongside many of you through Moms in Prayer and several volunteer committees.
This year has been one of listening, learning, and relationship-building. I have spent time in classrooms, at school events, and in conversation with students, faculty, parents, alumni, trustees, and friends. Together, we have clarified our priorities and adopted a Strategic Plan that provides a clear and ambitious roadmap for the future of STE as one of the preeminent schools in Texas. None of this progress would be possible without the generosity of our donors, especially the members of the Tartan Society. Thank you! Every gift has an immediate impact on the daily experience of our students, but your support is doing something even greater: it is helping move STE forward according to a shared vision for the future. In the coming year, we will be especially focused on three priorities: Further strengthening our faithfulness to our mission as a Christian, classical school with high academic standards and an elevated culture grounded in our core virtues. Investing in our faculty through the addition of new teaching positions and expanded academic and enrichment opportunities. Laying the groundwork for the major capital improvements and fundraising objectives envisioned in our Strategic Plan. Your support today is more important than ever. It not only benefits current students but also demonstrates to future donors and partners that STE is united, growing, and ready for the next chapter. Together, we are building something that will bless generations of students to come. As Scripture reminds us, “be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58). Thank you for being a part of that life-giving work. The pages that follow reflect the lasting impact of our shared commitment to forming honorable men and women through a Classical education grounded in a Christ-centered worldview.
With gratitude,
