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!

Wolf Run Ninth Grade Advisory Trip


Last February, our advisory went to Wolf Run with the Third grade. An annual tradition for all 9th Grade advisories, this trip was definitely one of the highlights of my freshman year. Each trip, two advisories go the ranch with a different grade from ESD. Our group consisted of Father Butler and Ms. Hepp’s advisories. We went out on a Thursday night after school, and came back Friday evening. While I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, the trip ended up being a fun and rewarding experience. The first night, our group unpacked, had a meeting to prepare for the upcoming day with the third graders, and played around outside. We grilled dinner, threw the football around, and ate out by the fire. We enjoyed talking with our advisories, playing different games, and improving our cooking skills. Throughout the next day as we helped the third graders explore the life of a pioneer, our advisory had a great time. The different games included washer toss, stick hockey, and string figures. The freshman Wolf Run trip was a ton of fun, and was definitely worth a little make-up work. I can’t wait to go again soon!
