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!

People to People Summer Experience


Last June I went on trip to Europe with a program called People to People. I went to France, Italy and Greece for twenty-two days. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. There were eleven people from Dallas and we went with about twenty other kids from different states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ohio. We all met together in Atlanta and then we flew to France! When we got to France we saw the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre where I saw the Mona Lisa which was really cool. After France we took an overnight train ride to Italy. We went to Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Venice, and Assisi. Italy was my favorite place because it had such good food like pasta and gelato ice cream! We saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Colosseum. Then we went on an overnight boat trip to Greece. Greece was gorgeous. We went to the ruins at Pompeii and we went to some of the beaches there and it was so pretty. I made a lot of new friends on the trip and I learned a lot about the different cultures of each countries. It is definitely something that I will never forget.
