Welcome!

Welcome to the Episcopal School of Dallas Blogsite! ESD is teeming with various student leadership opportunities. Whether it be serving on our School Council, editing our literary magazine, managing a sports team, or creating a club of your own, ESD gives you the opportunity to pursue whatever interests you.

As a student leader at ESD, I oversee volunteer activities, school dances, pep rallies and other student run events. With classes, homework, and college applications piling up, I sometimes feel stressed, but in the end it is always worth it when we raise money for a worthwhile cause or discover another shining star among the student body in our talent show.

ESD is a great place to be—a community to help you discover your own talents and abilities inside the classroom and out. We hope our blogsite will help you get to know us better through a wide variety of viewpoints and visions gained from the experiences of our own students. I invite you to visit our campus soon!

Summer Cross Country in Utah


Every August the ESD cross-country goes to Utah for a training camp. The team flies together to Utah and then drive to Mount Pleasant where we stay at Wasatch Academy. We usually get up in the morning and go run. The runs are beautiful; the trails go on forever. On the left there are mountains and then on the right there is an amazing plain. After the morning run, we go back to the Academy and chill with the team. We watch movies and read books. The team really bonds during the time between the runs. In the afternoon we go for another run, which is just as beautiful as the first. Running in Utah is great because the air is clean and we did not need to worry about cars. During one of the nights in Utah we go to a Mormon party. All of us have a great time. Overall, the Utah trip is a good time to bond with the team, while getting ready for the cross-country season.
