FROM THE DESK OF

Dear Friends,

2025 was an exciting year at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School. As I reflect on the last year, I find myself pausing often to appreciate the many moments, big and small, that remind me why this community is so unique. In 2025, we celebrated 30 years since our first senior class graduated in 1995 and 66 years since our founding. From that inaugural group of 38 students to today’s senior class of 142, so much has changed, yet the character and spirit of HIES feel as strong as ever.

Our campus continues to evolve in meaningful ways, and I’m grateful to everyone who has helped us move forward. Thanks to the support of our community, recent improvements have included new turf on our athletic fields, refreshed spaces in our Middle School and our beautiful new Pavilion, a gift made possible by the HIES Parents’ Association and the Classes of 2023 and 2025. These improvements reflect not just progress, but the deep generosity and belief in our mission that so many of you share.

This year also brought moments that captured the heart of who we are. Our Great Day of Service brought students, faculty and staff together in a powerful expression of our values as we worked side

by side on projects across campus and throughout our community. And during Homecoming, Baker Field shone under temporary lights for the first time in school history — an unforgettable milestone that connected generations of Golden Bears!

Whether it’s been a year or several decades since you last walked the halls at The 805, you remain an important part of our story.

I hope you’ll come back for a visit soon to cheer on our amazing athletic teams, enjoy an outstanding Fine Arts performance or simply reconnect with a place that continues to thrive because of your legacy and your support.

Go Bears!

WELCOME NEW BOARD CHAIR JENNIFER MIRGOROD

Greetings, Golden Bear Community,

Holy Innocents' Episcopal School is a place defined by academic excellence, deeply rooted Episcopal values and a genuine sense of belonging. From the moment families join the community, they experience a school that challenges students to think deeply, act with integrity and grow into young people of character and purpose. HIES knows who it is and where it is going.

I have had the privilege of seeing that clarity of purpose firsthand through my service on the Board of Trustees. Invited to join the Board five years ago, I have worked alongside an extraordinary group of trustees and school leaders dedicated to stewarding the school with care and vision. Most meaningfully, I helped develop our current Strategic Plan, Achieving Greatness, Embracing Goodness, in close partnership with fellow trustees and senior administrators. That experience deepened my appreciation for the collaboration, discipline and long-term thinking required to guide a school like HIES. Following Adam Fuller’s exceptional leadership, I stepped into the role of Board Chair at the start of this academic year, an honor I hold with deep gratitude. Serving on the Board provides a unique vantage point into the leadership of Head of School Paul Barton and his team. In my professional life as a leadership and executive coach, I spend my days observing what effective leadership looks like during seasons of growth and change. What I see at HIES is a steady, values-driven approach to decisionmaking that consistently prioritizes what is best for students and the broader community. Our division heads and administrators lead with care, clarity and purpose, supported by exceptional faculty, coaches and directors who bring that vision to life each day. Our children are truly in excellent hands.

The Strategic Plan is no longer just a vision. It is actively shaping daily life at HIES. We see it in the strength of our community, from shared moments like October’s Friday Night Lights to deeper alignment across and throughout every division. We see it in continued investment in campus facilities that are modern, welcoming and supportive of learning. We see it in an intentional focus on wellness, recognizing that true excellence includes attention to students’ physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. And we see it in the Board’s commitment to long-term sustainability, including the continued strengthening of the school’s endowment to support future generations of Golden Bears.

My family’s own journey reflects what so many families experience at HIES. My husband, George, and I were first drawn to the school nine years ago when our oldest daughter, Mary, entered sixth grade. Mary is now a sophomore at Furman University, and our younger daughter, Kate, is a current senior who will attend the University of Georgia this fall. Along the way, we have seen firsthand the care, challenge and formation that define this community.

Holy Innocents' Episcopal School stands today on a strong foundation built by past Boards, devoted faculty, visionary leaders and an engaged community. Because of that legacy, and because of the clarity provided by our Strategic Plan, I am confident about where we are headed. HIES is well positioned not only as a leading independent school in Atlanta, but as a model of excellence, character and purpose.

Thank you for being part of the Holy Innocents’ story.

DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT Kathleen Rayburn

Dear HIES Alumni,

It’s a joy to serve as the Director of Alumni Engagement at Holy Innocents’. I joined the HIES community in September 2024, bringing two decades of experience helping alumni stay meaningfully connected to their schools, most recently at Emory University and the University of Southern California.

Over the past year at The 805, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you. Your warmth, passion for the school and eagerness to share your time and expertise have been a true reflection of the HIES spirit—and a testament to what makes this community so special.

As our alumni community continues to grow in size, scope and impact, so too does our commitment to serving you in meaningful ways. In close partnership with school leadership, campus partners and the Alumni Advisory Board (AAB), the Office of Alumni Engagement is focused on providing resources that support your interests and evolving needs at every stage of your personal and professional journey.

With this exciting chapter, we’re focusing on a stronger, more connected alumni professional networ. We are shifting to fewer events with deeper purpose and broader appeal, and structured volunteer opportunities that range from short-term to more sustained involvement.

Whether you’re in a reunion year, launching your career, raising a family, navigating a career transition or simply looking to reconnect, we’re building opportunities designed to meet you where you are—and help you stay connected to HIES and each other in ways that matter most to you.

Here’s a glimpse of some of our updates:

Stronger Leadership and Volunteer Opportunities

• The AAB Chair now sits on the HIES Board of Advisors during their term. Congratulations to Michael Griffin ’00 for being the first Alumni Advisory Board Chair to serve in this capacity!

• The Alumni Advisory Board launched with renewed focus and structure with new subcommittees— Professional, Young Alumni, Second Decade/Families and Development— that will help guide alumni contributions across campus, working alongside HIES teams in Admissions, Athletics, College Counseling and The PEAK Leadership Institute.

• Each committee will influence a signature event aligned with their mission.

• We’re also exploring expanding leadership roles for Class Representatives to deepen their impact within our community.

Fresh Events with Purpose

• We're reimagining our events calendar to better reflect alumni interests and life stages.

• On Friday, Nov. 28, the HIES Young Alumni & Second Decade Committees hosted a UGA vs Georgia Tech Tailgate in The Home Depot Backyard, steps from Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

• We’re refreshing our reunion year celebrations starting this academic year with the classes of 1995/96, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021!

• On Saturday, Feb. 7, we partnered with the Fine Arts Association for our second annual Alumni Celebration of the Arts in concert with our first Alumni Art Show!

• As we grow our alumni programming, we’re also exploring ways to engage alumni beyond Atlanta.

Expanding Alumni Recognition

• Keep an eye out for two recent new features:

• Alumni HI-Fives, recognizing alumni who return to campus to give back.

• HI-Lights, celebrating alumni professional milestones.

• The Distinguished Alumni Award continues to honor outstanding contributions—consider nominating a fellow classmate.

At its heart, our work is guided by one central belief: the success of HIES is best reflected in the lives of our graduates. Your stories, accomplishments and generosity are the school’s proudest legacy—and our greatest asset moving forward.

Whether you're looking to reconnect, mentor, speak, host students or simply share your journey, there’s a place for you in this next phase of alumni life at HIES. Let’s build it together.

Stay Golden and Go Bears!

The Class of 1995 celebrated their 30th reunion on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025. The alumni were joined by some of their favorite faculty and staff to share in the nostalgia and memories.

A LEGACY OF MENTORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP

SCOTT WHITEHEAD '83

Some things in life are predictable. The sun will rise in the east. Atlanta traffic will come to a near standstill during afternoon rush hour. And every Friday morning at 7 a.m., Scott Whitehead ’83 will be sitting in a corner booth at Egg Harbor Café, ready to greet a group of HIES students with a smile, a Bible and an encouraging word.

For years, the scene has been nearly identical: plates full of pancakes and bacon, a stack of well-worn Bibles and the sound of laughter mixed with conversation that quickly turns serious. Mr. Whitehead has built his life around mentoring, listening and guiding young students as they wrestle with what it means to live with purpose and faith. This group— currently made up of Chase Anarumo ’26, Grant Bradley ’27, Henry Broos ’26, Gavin Evans ’26 and Tuck Greene ’27—is just the latest in a long line of HIES students he has mentored over the years.

“This group of guys is one of the best Bible studies I’ve ever had,” he said. “They’re willing to open up, to get into the real stuff. One of the guys said to me the other day, ‘Why don’t all guys talk like this?’ That’s when you know something special is happening.”

The students who join Mr. Whitehead every Friday are athletes, leaders and friends who have chosen to give up an hour of extra sleep (on HIES’s late-start day, no less) to talk about

scripture, life and leadership. They come prepared, having read a passage in advance, ready to discuss how faith intersects with school, sports and the everyday challenges of high school.

“I really want to make sure that we cover what they want to talk about and what feels important to them. This is really their Bible study, not mine,” Mr. Whitehead said.

On one Friday morning, the group focused on a passage from 1 Timothy 4:12: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” The verse could easily serve as the mission statement for the group itself.

“Everyone here is an athlete,” Chase said. “And as you get older, you realize you really want to be a leader, right? And that’s one of the biggest things I’ve gotten out of this—not just how to excel on the field but also in life.”

“That’s what it’s all about... When guys ask me how they could ever repay me, I say it’s not about that. You repay me by paying it forward, and doing this same thing for others.”

Gavin, another member of the group, added, “The opportunity to do this sort of thing doesn’t present itself every day, where you and your friends can just really be yourself, learn about the Bible and talk about your faith with a mentor. This is just really special, and I try not to take it for granted.”

The respect is mutual. Mr. Whitehead lights up when he talks about the students’ maturity and depth. Over the years, he’s stayed in touch with many of the young men who once sat across from him at Egg Harbor. Some have gone on to lead their own Bible studies in college, paying forward what they learned from him.

“That’s what it’s all about,” he said. “When guys ask me how they could ever repay me, I say it’s not about that. You repay me by paying it forward, and doing this same thing for others.”

Faith and mentorship have been constants in Mr. Whitehead’s life for decades. Long before he became President and CEO of Whitehead & Associates and Chateau Energy—both in the electrical industry—he was a young Golden Bear full of curiosity. Mr. Whitehead stepped on the HIES campus as a preschool student in 1969, and graduated from the eighth-grade in 1979, before the founding of the Upper School. He often credits those early years with shaping the person he became.

That lifelong connection came full circle in 2024, when Mr. Whitehead was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award in recognition of his mentorship efforts and his continued involvement in the HIES community.

“Niki Simpson was my drama teacher and her husband, David Simpson, was my English teacher, both in seventh-grade. All these years later, they were sitting at my table for the awards ceremony.”

After graduating HIES as a “pioneer" in 1979, Mr. Whitehead went on to graduate Riverwood High School in 1983. He earned a degree in commercial business administration from the University of Alabama before building an impressive career as an entrepreneur, earning industry recognition and leading companies honored among Atlanta’s “Best Places to Work” and “Top 10 Healthiest Employers.” But for all his business achievements, it’s his work as a mentor that he values most.

“As you grow as a young man or woman on this earth, you start thinking, okay, I need to work hard and provide and all that stuff, but what’s the real purpose of me being here?” he said. “In my

Mr. Whitehead was joined by daughter Ashley '19, wife Natasha and son Peyton '17 at the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Award luncheon.

early 30s, I realized that for me, it’s mentoring. And I’ve been doing it ever since.”

Mr. Whitehead and his wife, Natasha, live in the Atlanta area and are proud parents of two proud Golden Bears, Ashley ’19 and Peyton ’17. His passion for giving back extends well beyond HIES and Egg Harbor. Over the years, he’s coached youth sports, led confirmation classes for nearly two decades at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church and served on the boards of multiple civic and charitable organizations. His 2022 book, “Pillars of Support: Lessons to Help Parents and Mentors Form Trusting Relationships with Kids That Last a Lifetime,” captures much of what he’s learned about building relationships rooted in trust and authenticity.

That same authenticity is what keeps the HIES students coming back each week. Mr. Whitehead’s mix of faith, consistency and genuine care has left a lasting impression on dozens of young people who’ve sat across from him over the years. He reminds them that caring for others means showing up both in good times and bad.

“As you grow as a young man or woman on this earth, you start thinking, okay, I need to work hard and provide and all that stuff, but what’s the real purpose of me being here? In my early 30s, I realized that for me, it’s mentoring. And I’ve been doing it ever since.”

“He’s always right there when you need him,” Grant said. “He texts us Bible verses every day, and we know we can reach out to him whenever.”

Mr. Whitehead laughed when asked about that. “Well, except for after nine. I get up at four every morning, so I’m in bed early,” he said. “I always tell them, if it’s after nine, you need to call my wife—and you better be out in a ditch somewhere if you’re going to do that.”

Henry Broos '26, Tuck Greene '27, Scott Whitehead '83, Gavin Evans '26, Chase Anarumo '26 and Grant Bradley '27 gather at Egg Harbor Cafe for their weekly Bible study.

CARA PUCKETT ROXLAND '01

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENT 2025

Each spring, as another group of seniors graduate from Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School and officially become alumni, a familiar saying is heard: you are forever a Golden Bear. Few embody that lifelong connection more than the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, Cara Puckett Roxland ʼ01

A proud Alpha-Omega, Ms. Roxland began her HIES journey at age three along with her identical twin sister, Marisa Puckett Howell ’01. She was a highly involved student, with activities ranging from student council to varsity volleyball and serving as yearbook editor. She fondly recalls being taught by Niki Simpson twice, participating in spirit days and Winterfest and, in classic twin fashion, switching places with her sister for a day.

Ms. Roxland was officially named the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient at the HIES State of the School address last April, where a group of her HIES classmates were in attendance to cheer her on. She was introduced by longtime friend and fellow HIES alumni Lauren Fryer Tucker ʼ01, director of leadership giving at HIES and Ms. Roxland’s former colleague at Shepherd Center.

“When I heard I was selected to receive this award, you could have knocked me over with a feather,” Ms. Roxland said. “I can’t think of anything that would mean more to me.”

Though a member of one of the school’s earliest

graduating classes, Ms. Roxland is, in many ways, just as connected to the school as ever. Her longstanding commitment includes multiple terms on the Alumni Advisory Board—one as its president— and frequent volunteer work at alumni events. She’s served as a Class Representative for two decades, keeping her fellow Golden Bears connected to each other and to the school.

“My dearest and oldest friends are HIES grads. I find myself getting nostalgic a lot when I’m there, even though it looks a little different.”

Ms. Roxland has a deep-held belief that when you’re aligned with an institution’s mission and values, the natural outcome is a commitment to its success. This guiding principle has shaped not only her ongoing support of HIES but also her professional career.

Shortly after graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in public relations, Ms. Roxland formally began her journey at Shepherd Center in 2005, a not-for-profit hospital specializing in the treatment of spinal cord and brain injuries. She notes, however, that her connection to Shepherd started years before then, as her mother was a longtime volunteer.

“I was probably there stuffing envelopes before I was speaking full sentences.”

Currently serving as the hospital’s engagement manager, Ms. Roxland has spent the subsequent

“My dearest and oldest friends are HIES grads. I find myself getting nostalgic a lot when I’m there, even though it looks a little different.”

decades at Shepherd in a variety of roles. Along the way, she met her husband, Jon, who shares her dedication as Shepherd Center’s director of major and planned gifts. Since 2020, she has focused primarily on leading engagement efforts for Shepherd’s $500 million capital campaign, ensuring each donor’s contribution is properly celebrated and that supporters experience the meaningful impact of their gifts.

“At Shepherd, Cara could always be counted on to take a vision to the next level,” Lauren Fryer Tucker ʼ01 said, reflecting on her time as Ms. Roxland’s colleague. “Whether it was our time working together on the women’s philanthropy program or the current campaign, Cara could step into a meeting and hear what was being dreamt up and transform those dreams into actionable realities.”

Known for her ability to balance compassion with clear direction, Ms. Roxland is admired for the way she combines thoughtful listening with decisive action. Colleagues describe her as someone who gets things done while remaining sensitive to the people involved—a rare mix of efficiency and empathy that has defined her success at Shepherd. Her instinct to approach challenges with both heart and strategy has made her a trusted collaborator and friend to many.

As Ms. Roxland navigates a busy schedule of event support, facilitating donor naming opportunities and forging personal connections, no day is the same. She finds a sense of meaning in having watched and supported Shepherd Center, which celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this year, through years of growth and expansion.

“As soon as you walk in the door, you see hope and inspiration…I’m not on the front lines, I’m not clinical, but I have so much respect and appreciation for those who are. You have to be invested if you’re going to ask others to invest.”

For the past four years, Ms. Roxland has helped facilitate a meaningful partnership between Shepherd Center and the PEAK Leadership Institute at HIES, affording students an up-close look at Shepherd’s innovative approach to patient care with site visits and in-depth tours. This fall, a group of PEAK students visited Ms. Roxland at Shepherd, where they met with staff members, toured the hospital’s therapy and research areas, and learned about the variety of career paths that contribute to patient recovery. Ms. Roxland shared her own experiences and insights during the visit, helping students connect the school’s leadership principles with real-world applications in healthcare.

“It’s been really fun to have my worlds collide…We are such a specific form of healthcare, and I love that PEAK helps expose students to it.”

Despite a full and fulfilling career, Ms. Roxland has remained closely connected to the people and places that helped shape her. Her dedication to Holy Innocents’ extends well beyond formal roles or titles. Whether helping plan reunions, chairing alumni initiatives or simply bringing classmates together, Ms. Roxland continually finds ways to celebrate connection. Her efforts have strengthened the alumni community and deepened the sense of belonging that she herself values so deeply.

Forever a Golden Bear, she sums up her enduring bond with Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in just a few heartfelt words: “I have a lifelong home at HIES."

HIES FACULTY TRAVEL THE GLOBE WITH GREENBAUM GRANTS

In Summer 2025, three HIES teachers set out on inspiring journeys that enriched their understanding of the subjects they teach. Each year, select faculty are awarded a Greenbaum Family Grant for Faculty Enhancement—a generous program that empowers educators to explore, learn and expand their expertise beyond the classroom.

Established by the parents of Malinda Hlavenka ’02, the Greenbaum Family Grants reflect a profound appreciation for educators and the personal sacrifices they make to provide exceptional learning experiences. Through these grants, HIES faculty and staff have pursued workshops, advanced coursework, professional development programs and educational travel opportunities that fall outside the scope of the opportunities provided by the school.

Read on to discover how three HIES faculty members spent their summers adventuring, learning and bringing newfound insights back to their students.

Maureen Danzig, Middle School English teacher and seventhgrade dean, fulfilled a longtime dream when she visited the secret annex in Amsterdam, where Anne Frank and her family hid for more than two years. After teaching “The Diary of Anne Frank” to students for more than 25 years, Ms. Danzig was deeply touched when she entered through the hidden

bookcase, climbed the same stairs Anne once used and stood in the bedroom where Anne lived with her sister Margot.

“When I walked up the stairs behind the secret bookcase, I felt I was entering their world — full of fear but hope, too,” she reflected.

From hearing the chimes of the Westertoren church to viewing Anne’s diary in person, every detail made the story vividly real. A particularly unforgettable moment came when a young Dutch girl beside her offered to read aloud from the pages on display, a gesture Danzig described as if Anne herself were standing next to her. Over several days, she retraced Anne’s life with her mother, bringing back not only historical insight but also an emotional truth she looks forward to sharing with her students.

Amanda Dominique, Upper School Religious Studies teacher, embarked on a two-day climb of Mount Tai in China’s Shandong province, one of the nation’s five sacred mountains. Over the course of 7,200 stairs in the summer heat, she reached the summit, stayed overnight and rose at 4 a.m. to witness the sunrise alongside fellow climbers.

“There was a beautiful camaraderie amongst the people at the top, knowing we had all completed an amazing task,” she recalled.

Her journey offered not only a physical challenge but also insight into the lived traditions of Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. She reflected on the enduring role of offerings and prayers, while also noticing how modern consumerism,

like coffee shops and souvenir stands, has reshaped sacred spaces once reserved for emperors. Ms. Dominique looks forward to bringing this

firsthand knowledge into her classes, helping students connect with the significance of pilgrimage, ritual practice and the intersection of spirituality and modern life.

Berent LaBrecque, Middle School history teacher, spent three weeks traveling across Japan, from Tokyo to Sapporo in the north, down to Kagoshima in the south and many places in between. His itinerary included Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where he visited museums on the atomic bombings, as well as Chiran and Tokyo, where he studied narratives around kamikaze pilots. In Shimoda and Kagoshima, he explored sites tied to Japan’s opening to American trade during the era of imperialism. These experiences will directly inform his eighth-grade history curriculum, giving students opportunities to compare how different nations teach and remember shared events.

“I’m bringing back different perspectives on historical events so that my students can gain a more holistic understanding of the history we study,” he said.

A highlight of the trip was spending a day at HIES’s sister school in Sapporo, where he connected with students and teachers over shared educational values,

and even local meals. For Mr. LaBrecque, these conversations underscored the importance of cross-cultural exchange and offered joyful reminders of the bonds between the two schools.

FAREWELL TO A FABULOUS FOUR

A look at the 2025 retirees and their lasting contributions

It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to four extraordinary Holy Innocents’ faculty/staff members who retired at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Teresa Cook, Ed Little, Kay Wright and Susan Rapoport will be moving on. Read more about them and their lasting HIES legacies below.

Dr. Teresa Cook worked at HIES for 12 years, which included two heads of school, three Upper School principals and many different schedules. She taught science, was the Green Team advisor and had various PLC’s (culturally responsive teaching, first international PLC to Spain).

“So many significant moments have happened here: Meeting Sam Johnson ’09, which led him to living with us while starting his non-profit (My Vision for Refugees), attending conferences such as Project Zero in Spain and the Summer Diversity here in Atlanta, professional and personal growth related to examining my own biases and privilege and working to understand the history of racism in the U.S. and becoming actively anti-racist.

“Also, the everyday moments – the amazing young people I met and taught, my colleagues who kept me laughing and always supported me during the ups and downs of teacher life, the partnerships created that brought meaning to my life and work. I’m forever grateful for the co-teachers, staff and science department chairs who generously shared the load, listened to my ideas, set me straight when needed and always had my back. I know my students will be in good hands and that makes retiring and starting my next life adventure much easier.”

Ed Little worked in the Lower School for nine years, where he was a fourth-grade lead and Strategies teacher. He is also a former HIES parent of Ansley '22 and Patrick '25. Over his years, Ed leaves here with his two favorite quotes:

"Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn't ask for advice" and "Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe."

Kay Wright worked as coordinator of enrollment management and special events for 19 years. Her comments:

“I’m blessed to work all this time in a job that I love and am thankful for my travels from Ellenwood to Sandy Springs. However, I did have two fender-benders, though I will not share who was at fault. On a serious note, I’m grateful for the wonderful people I’ve worked with and the lifelong friends I’ve made.

Susan "Rappy" Rapoport After 31 years at Holy Innocents’, Susan “Rappy” Rapoport retired, leaving behind a legacy of high standards, big heart and unforgettable personality.

She joined the HIES community in 1994 as a third-grade assistant and most recently served as our Lower School Accelerated Reading Coordinator. An Ohio State graduate with a degree in journalism, Susan also experienced HIES as a parent—her daughter, Jenny Rapoport ’00, was a standout student and a member of the 1999 state championship basketball team.

To her students and colleagues alike, Rappy is known for her quick smile, her deep love of reading and her genuine affection for kids. She is and will always be, proudly and lovingly, “The Queen of Mean,” a title she embraces with a wink, reflecting her high expectations, dry humor and the special way she motivated students to rise to the occasion.

Where students pursue their passions and are challenged to reach their full potential.

A LASTING MEASURE OF EXCELLENCE

ELLEN BLAKE

Ellen Blake has never been one to seek the spotlight, but for more than three decades at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School, she quietly shaped generations of students, teachers and the very trajectory of the school itself.

Ms. Blake arrived in 1982, answering a simple newspaper ad and walking into an interview with the legendary Alice Malcolm. On paper, she was “totally overqualified”—holder of a master’s degree in mathematics after 14 years at home raising her daughter. In person, however, the connection was immediate and enduring. Years later, Ms. Blake would write that “throughout this entire process, there was a constant: that constant was the vision and the guidance of Alice Malcolm,” noting that Ms. Malcolm “always considered the long-range plans for this school and its future.” That same long view would come to shape Ms. Blake’s own work in the classroom and beyond.

From the beginning, Ms. Blake held a simple and demanding philosophy about teaching math.

“My big deal is you make them understand why, but you always start with something they know,” she said. “You either build on what you know or you don’t get the next. Every single bit of it is a stepping stone.”

She believed students deserved real understanding, not shortcuts—and that meeting students where they were meant challenging

those who could go further, not just supporting those who struggled.

When HIES prepared to launch its Upper School, Ms. Blake recognized a pivotal moment. For the first time, students would be measured not just by internal expectations but alongside peers across Atlanta and beyond. In her carefully researched history of the Upper School’s founding, she wrote, “The decision to open the Upper School placed the school in a position to compete with the finest private schools in Atlanta.”

She understood that academic rigor—particularly in mathematics—would be essential if students were to thrive in that new landscape. Her advocacy for a true Algebra I course for advanced eighth-grade students helped shape a stronger academic sequence and reflected her insistence that HIES students be fully prepared to compete anywhere.

Ms. Blake’s influence extended well beyond her own classroom. Colleagues routinely sought her guidance on lesson design and instructional strategy, filling notebooks with her advice. She mentored younger teachers quietly and faithfully, often encouraging them toward leadership or further education when she saw potential they had not yet recognized in themselves.

Still, Ms. Blake is quick to redirect praise. She was reluctant to have this article written at all.

“I don’t really want any credit for anything,” she said. “It was always about the students I had the pleasure to teach, and the faculty and leadership who made this school what it is. That’s the legacy—not me.”

“It was always about the students I had the pleasure to teach, and the faculty and leadership who made this school what it is. That’s the legacy."

Her loyalty to HIES runs deep. During the years when her husband, Bill, battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the school stood by her with compassion and flexibility. Though opportunities arose elsewhere, she stayed rooted.

“I felt so indebted to Holy Innocents’ for standing by me during the hard years of Bill’s illness,” she said. “I just really couldn’t bring myself to leave.”

Even in retirement, Ms. Blake remains a beloved presence. At the recent 30-year reunion for the Classes of 1995 and 1996, she lingered long into the evening, laughing with former students who now return as accomplished adults—and often as parents themselves.

Looking back, Ms. Blake sums it up best: “I still do appreciate so much about this special place, the students, my colleagues and the families. And with respect particularly to those first two classes, I kind of felt like a mother hen."

Several members of our current and former faculty and staff joined the Class of 1995 and Class of 1996 for their combined 30th reunion this November. Ellen (pictured third from left) was joined by George Volkert, Theresa Jespersen, Christopher Swann, Chief Wesley Green, Steve Marine, Dorothy Sullivan and Clay Cushman.

TEACHER FEATURE

Eliza Suarez

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT HIES? This is my 22nd year.

WHAT'S YOUR CURRENT ROLE? I'm the Middle School World Languages department chair, I teach seventh and eighth-grade Spanish and Spanish I in the Upper School.

WHAT OTHER ROLES HAVE YOU SERVED? In the early 2000s (2004-2010), I was also a Middle School volleyball coach.

CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND? I was a former student at HIES from grades 5-10 in the 1990s. I followed in my sisters’ footsteps, though, and went to a boarding school, Oldfields School, for my last two years of high school. I graduated from Rollins College in 2003 with a B.A. in Spanish. I studied abroad in Spain on two separate occasions, once in 2001 and then again in 2003, where I fell in love with the language, culture and its beautiful land.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU BACK TO HIES AS A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY? It was complete chance that I ended back at HIES in April of 2004 as a substitute Spanish teacher for Mrs. Stafford, who was fighting Leukemia at the time. She ended up recovering and was back the next semester, thank goodness. Simultaneously that semester, a Spanish position in the Middle School opened up, which I eagerly interviewed for and have been fulfilling ever since.

Coming back to HIES as a teacher was a whole new experience, one that would allow me to grow in a way I hadn’t yet before. I was given a chance to blend my passion for world languages with teaching abilities I would soon discover, to show students their own capacity for acquiring a second language. It was the faith that teachers and administrators had in me that allowed me to grow and learn as an educator.

WHAT WERE YOUR EARLY IMPRESSIONS OF HIES WHEN YOU BEGAN WORKING HERE? From the start, I was struck by the overwhelming support from fellow colleagues and administrators. I was given everything I needed to succeed in my new role. I took a deep dive into professional development opportunities, was mentored by an independent education consultant and completed a teacher certification program - all in my first two years. That level of support continues today, and I remain deeply grateful. It is a unique quality of our school that sets us apart from others.

WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF YOUR JOB AT HIES? I light up every time I hear students creating spontaneously with language, especially outside of class. Languages are inherently fun and getting to see students experience that fun on their own makes my heart happy.

WHAT HAS MOTIVATED YOU TO STAY HERE AND REMAIN A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY? The support of colleagues, administrators and families. I feel the connectedness and shared vision of our school daily.

WHY SPANISH? WHAT'S UNIQUE, OR IMPORTANT, ABOUT TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES? Spanish is a gateway to connecting with others all over the world. I made the most lasting and significant relationships during my study abroad experiences in Spain. Is knowing Spanish beneficial to getting a job and making oneself marketable in today’s world? Absolutely. But, in keeping with the first pillar of our school's mission (developing in students a love of learning), I find it more valuable that students experience the joy that comes from connecting with others outside of their immediate circles and seeing the abundant beauty of the world. Any added benefit to that is icing on the cake, in my opinion.

WE HEARD YOUR HUSBAND IS A HIES ALUMNI? Yes, my husband Scott Suarez '99 and I were in the same class. He was an Alpha-Omega.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR DECISION TO BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO HIES. WHAT DO THEY LOVE ABOUT IT, AND ARE THEY INVOLVED IN ANYTHING ON-CAMPUS? We are fortunate to have both of our children attend HIES. They started in PK3 and are now in fifth and seventh grade. Both are involved with sports, theatre arts and music. John played the role of Rooster in this year’s fifthgrade musical production of "Annie," and Emily worked on crew behind the scenes, making this their first shared production.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY FROM YOUR TIME AT HIES? One of my favorite memories at HIES was attending a Round Square Conference in Peru in 2019. Students and teachers from all over the Americas came together for a 10-day conference, spending time exploring the six IDEALS of the organization: Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure and Leadership. The takeaways from that trip stay with me today and continue to broaden my worldview.

WHAT'S A PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'D OFFER TO A NEW TEACHER? I would offer the same piece of advice that I received as a new teacher: Teach students first, your subject second. Connecting with kids and showing them support leads to growth that goes beyond the classroom walls.

HIES faculty member Eliza Suarez is joined by her son John '33, daughter Emily '31 and husband Scott at the opening night of the fifth-grade musical "Annie" which debuted to a sold-out crowd in November 2025.

Connecting with the Past in Normandy

2025 MIKE THORNTON FELLOWS AT NORMANY ACADEMY

In Summer 2025, Beckett Culbertson ’26 and Lily Hudson ’26 embarked on a journey through history as the 2025 Mike Thornton Fellows at Normandy Academy, an immersive program that brings World War II to life through travel, study and reflection. The fellowship took the students from the National WWII Museum in New Orleans to the beaches and battlefields of Normandy, France, where they explored the legacy of D-Day and the enduring impact of the war on the world today.

From the very first stop, the experience proved both humbling and transformative. For Beckett, visiting Pegasus Bridge, one of the first sites liberated by Allied forces on D-Day, was the moment when history suddenly felt real.

“It was such an amazing experience traveling all the way from New Orleans, to Paris, to the town of Bayeux and then finally being able to see pieces of the history that we had traveled so far for,” he said. “I learned so much at a simple 45-minute stop at the bridge and museum, and it prepared me for the amazing five days of hands-on learning that lay ahead.”

Those five days culminated in a visit to the Normandy American Cemetery, where rows of white crosses stretch toward the horizon. Beckett described it as a moment that words could hardly capture.

“Words can’t even begin to describe the sheer awe felt when I looked out on one of the most equally beautiful and saddening sights I have ever seen,” he said.

To make the experience at the cemetery even more meaningful, each program participant selected one of the nearly 10,000 graves and researched the life and legacy of the man or woman buried there.

“It was really an amazing experience, not only to be there, but to feel a connection to one of the men buried there and learn his story."

Beyond the powerful historical lessons, the trip

offered something more personal for Lily and Beckett: a sense of friendship and belonging, even almost 1,000 miles from home.

“I've already met up with two of my new friends I made on the trip,” Beckett shared. “And it stuck out to me how welcome we were in Normandy. I felt we would have been seen as just tourists, but the opposite happened—I found myself happily wandering around the tiny town of Bayeux feeling like I belonged.”

For both Beckett and Lily, the experience was more than a history lesson. From the site visits to the studying to the relationships built, the journey offered moments of deep connection and gratitude. Both students returned home with a renewed appreciation for the past, for freedom and for the community that made their experience possible.

Lily and Beckett, along with all program alumni, extend their heartfelt thanks to HIES grandparents Shellie Baur and the late Tee Baur for their generous and ongoing support of the Mike Thornton Fellows at Normandy Academy.

Q&A with Author Kate Dramis '10

Author Kate Dramis ’10 recently celebrated the publication of “The Curse of Gods,” the third and final book in her “The Curse of Saints” trilogy. The series, known for its blend of high-stakes fantasy, political intrigue and sweeping romance, has earned Ms. Dramis a dedicated following and recognition as a breakout talent. She spoke with us about the evolution of her work and the inspiration behind her world-building.

Q: How did you first come up with the idea for “The Curse of Saints” trilogy?

A: I had a dream about a woman calling down lightning to save a friend, and the echoes of a conversation between that woman and another character that I simply could not get out of my head. When I sat down to write out the scene and conversation, I had SO many more questions. Who are these people? Why are they arguing? Why was calling down lightning a forbidden act? What world is this? I filled in the blanks from there!

Q: Can you share a bit of the journey of bringing “The Curse of Gods” to life as the final book in the series?

Writing “Gods” was a really unique experience, particularly because there was a lot of pressure to give the characters, myself and my readers the ending I felt was deserved! I've spent five years with these characters and in this world, so saying goodbye to it was very bittersweet! I definitely had to fight through writer's block and the nerves to make the finale feel "worth it."

Q: What about your writing makes you feel most proud?

A: I've heard from readers who say they see themselves in my characters, and that makes me the proudest. I love stories that help me understand myself better or make me feel less alone, and I'm proud that my writing does that for people.

Q: You studied journalism at the University of Georgia, and have a lot of experience in copywriting and marketing. How did you make the leap into creative writing?

A: I've always been drawn to creative writing. I took a class in college and loved it! And before that, I was always writing halffinished stories in an old spiral notebook. When I had the idea for “Saints,” I just couldn't STOP writing it, so I thought ‘oh, wow – this could really be something.’

Q: What’s next for you? Any new projects or genres you’re excited to explore?

A: My contemporary romance debut, “The Odds of You,”came out in January 2026! I have a few other things on the horizon (more contemporary and more romantasy), but I have been sworn to secrecy by my publishers!

Q: If you could give a piece of advice to current students who are interested in pursuing creative writing, what would it be?

A: Do it! And let it be bad. You'll never stop learning and growing in this field, and that's a good thing!

GREAT DAY OF SERVICE

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER - THE REV. DR. STEFANIE TAYLOR

As is our custom at HIES, we opened the 2025-2026 school year with an all-school convocation in the gym, where we worshiped together as one community. This year, we also started our school year off with a Great Day of Service.

Immediately following our opening convocation, the school modeled for the students how service is done best: by learning, serving and reflecting. Students learned about the different programs they would be helping, participated in service projects across campus and spent time reflecting on what they learned and how they impacted the organizations.

Each project was tied to one of our core service learning values here at HIES: Hospitality, Integrity, Empathy and Stewardship.

Students in the Primary School supported local organizations The Sandwich Project, Solidarity Sandy Springs and Childrens' Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) by making sandwiches, collecting breakfast items and maing cards for the children in the hospital.

Lower School students collected items for hygiene kits and snack bags in advance, and then on the Great Day of Service, they assembled the kits and snack bags. We partnered with the Church of the Common Ground, which is a parish in the Diocese of Atlanta, and with Solidarity Sandy Springs. Both organizations do incredible work to alleviate difficulties such as hunger and personal care for the homeless population around the Atlanta metropolitan area.

In Middle School and Upper School, students participated in three different project rotations as well as listening to guest speakers. Together, they packed

37,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger, made 400 blankets for patients at the Winshape Cancer Center and heard from Allison Toller, chief executive officer for social impact at the YMCA, and Michelle Hodgson, founder of Children Helping Children. Both of these servant leaders in our community have made careers out of being honest and having strong moral principals. More than that, through their organizations, they help us as a community stay whole and undivided. Our students were inspired both by their work and their professional journeys.

One of the most exciting parts of this on-campus Great Day of Service was the impact it had on our community. We surveyed the students at the beginning of the day with questions such as, “on a scale of 1-5, I feel like I belong,” and “on a scale of 1-5, I feel like I can contribute to the world.” We surveyed them at the end of the day with the same questions and the average score went up by over one point. That's a huge statistical jump, and it happened in just one day, the only difference between the two surveys being their participation in the service projects. The students learned that by looking outside themselves, they actually felt more connected to each other and their community!

The day was a such a huge success that we plan to make this an annual part of how we kick off the school year: in worship and in service. his is what sets us apart as Golden Bears: our grounding in something bigger than ourselves and a love for our neighbors, both near and far.

BASEMENT JAMS TO FESTIVAL STAGES: HIES ALUMNI BAND HIT THEIR STRIDE

It’s common to imagine what life might be like as a rock band on the rise—late nights on the road, rooms full of singing fans and the electric rush of a great set. For Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School alumni Bennett Baugus ’19, Blake Dobbs ’20 and Wyatt Griffith ’19, that imagined life has become a very real one.

Known to fans across the Southeast and beyond as The Stews, the trio’s story traces a familiar HIES arc: curiosity, creativity, camaraderie and a willingness to take a bold leap when the moment arrives.

The roots of The Stews stretch back to their Upper School days when Bennett, Blake, Wyatt and classmate Gracie Stovall ’19 played together in a band called No Can Do. They performed at the Class of 2019 graduation and around the Atlanta area, cutting their teeth while balancing schoolwork and soundchecks.

“After that, we were apart for a while—graduation spread us out,” Mr. Griffith said. “But when we were all in town, we’d get together and jam.”

Those sessions often took place in the Griffith family basement. Music, it turns out, runs in Mr. Griffith’s blood—his father is a musician— so holidays became impromptu rehearsals. Eventually, those jam sessions led the group back together again at Auburn University.

“I went to college in High Point before coming to Auburn,” Mr. Baugus said. “And we talked Blake into coming, too. Once we were all together, we started playing around campus.”

At Auburn, the band met Preston Hall, who joined as lead singer, and momentum followed quickly. Shows multiplied, crowds grew and the music began to feel bigger than campus life.

Even the band’s name came from an offbeat, collegiate kind of inspiration.

“We had a friend who always used ‘stew’ as a verb,” Mr. Griffith said. “He’d say, ‘Let’s go stew around tonight.’ We were flipping through dictionaries looking for a name and landed on that one.”

"A lot of it started with our high school friends at Holy Innocents’. When we play a new city and see alumni come out, it’s really special. You get to reconnect— and then rock out together."
-BENNETT BAUGUS ’19
The Stews returned to HIES on April 25, 2025, to headline a concert kicking off Weekend. Eli Best '17 and his band Melophoria also joined the lineup. The performances James R. Best Award for Excellence in Math and Computer Science.

kicking off the Alumni Reunion

The performances benefited the

The Stews stuck—and so did the crowds. Word of mouth propelled the band from Auburn gigs to college shows across Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, the Carolinas and Texas. Before long, balancing classes with touring became impossible.

“We decided to go for it—give it our best shot while we’re young,” Mr. Griffith said. “Why not?”

The decision marked a turning point. The Stews committed to music full time, trading lecture halls for highways and term papers for setlists. Soon after, they signed with Atlas Touring, opening doors to larger venues and national runs that included stops in New York, Boston and Colorado.

The band released its debut album, "What Was" in 2022 followed by "Chicken Fight" this past July. Streams climbed, crowds grew louder and fans began traveling hours to catch a show.

“It still amazes me,” Mr. Baugus said, “that people are driving three hours to hear us play—streaming our music and being so supportive.”

For Mr. Griffith, some of that support feels especially meaningful.

“A lot of it started with our high school friends at Holy Innocents’,” he said. “When we play a new city and see alumni come out, it’s really special. You get to reconnect—and then rock out together.”

Right now, the band’s focus is squarely on what comes next.

“Right now we’re working on our third album which we’re recording right here in Atlanta with Tree Sound Studios,” Mr. Griffith said. “As for closing out this year, we’re going to play in Columbia, South Carolina and early next year we’re already booked for Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival.

“Basically, we’re just going to put together our schedule based on our new music,” he said. “So the third album is the focus right now.”

The Stews’ days aren’t 9-to-5. They’re long, loud and demanding—early load-ins, rehearsals, nearly two-hour sets, late-night drives to the next city. But once they hit the stage, the grind dissolves into something else entirely.

Their sound—often described as a high-energy blend of indie and hard rock—depends, as Mr. Griffith said, “on the song.” What doesn’t change is the intensity, the joy and the sense that this is exactly where they’re supposed to be.

Most high school bands remain fond memories, stories retold at reunions. For these HIES alumni, following the beat of a different drummer put them on the same musical path—one that’s accelerating with every show.

TWO SPORTS, TWO NATIONAL TITLES

ERIC FRANCIS '21

Eric Francis ’21 has done what no other HIES graduate has accomplished: winning national titles in two different sports. After leading his team to a Wheelchair Basketball national championship in 2022–2023, he added to his achievements this August with a Para Track and Field national title in discus and a runner-up finish in shot put.

A prominent competitor in the University of Alabama’s Adapted Athletics program, Mr. Francis has accomplished all this while completing a bachelor’s degree in marketing and working toward a master’s degree in the same subject.

“I have one more year of eligibility in basketball — you get five years — and my third season of track is coming up. Still, I plan on taking a little time off to get some rest,” he said with a laugh.

So, how exactly does it feel to earn two national titles: one in a team sport and one as an individual?

“It feels great!” he said. “It’s a great feeling and a testament to my work ethic and how I push myself and keep grinding. It started at Holy Innocents’, where I had a lot of support in getting gym time, and there were always people around me who were supportive of everything I was trying to do.”

Keith White, director of multicultural affairs at HIES, played a key role in providing that support. He looks back on Mr. Francis’s time at HIES with nothing but positive things to say about his accomplishments on the court, on the field and in the classroom.

“We are incredibly proud of him, not only for becoming a two-time national champion but also for the person he is. His intelligence, integrity and relentless work ethic have always set him apart. From his days on campus practicing with tenacity and purpose to his infectious smile that lights up every room he enters, he has always been the kind of person you can’t help but root for. Eric represents the very best of the Golden Bear community!”

Mr. Francis earned his most recent medals this summer after earning qualifying marks at the Para Track and Field Hartford Nationals in Connecticut.

“I had to throw 10.45 meters in the shot and 31.45 in the discus to qualify for nationals,”

he said. “Going into it, we competed in three meets in July, and each time I hit personal bests. I just wanted to keep building on that momentum.”

And build on the momentum he did –Mr. Francis then moved on to the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor & Para National Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where he earned his national title in discus and a second-place finish in shot put.

“It was a bit different from Hartford to Eugene, though. In Hartford, I competed against some high school kids and some collegians, while in Eugene it was mostly men and college athletes. I knew I had a chance in both events, but really I just wanted to walk away knowing I’d hit the standards and kept throwing well.”

Looking to the present, there appears to be no rest for the weary. Mr. Francis will begin the basketball season again in September, with competition running through May. Shortly after, track season runs through the beginning of August.

“Looking at it all so far, it’s been a great experience,” he added. “In basketball, I’ve been part of a group of people who have bonded and come together as a unit. It’s

BLAZING HER OWN TRAIL -

Sarah Kallis '18

Some people go through life waiting for things to happen.

Others, however – like HIES graduate Sarah Kallis ’18 – are ones that make things happen.

After leading the Upper School journalism program all four years at HIES, Ms. Kallis continued to pursue her passion, but did so in her own way. Ms. Kallis made a conscious decision to attend a college without a traditional journalism program.

“I had a lot of fear about that potentially not working out, but I’m very happy in the position I’m in now, and I’m sure 18-year-old Sarah would be proud,” she added.

Ms. Kallis attended Georgia Tech, where she started a news magazine for the university –"The 3484mag". She recruited several other HIES graduates also attending Tech to assist in the graphic design and storytelling.

“When I started the magazine at Tech, everything I learned to start that magazine I learned at HIES through the C&G magazine. I knew then I wanted to stay in journalism, and I always had faith that I would figure out what my next steps were, and it would become clear to me when it was time to take the next step.” she added.

Paving the road less travelled has been gratifying for Ms. Kallis. She is currently the politics reporter at Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) news, which is a PBS NPR station that covers the entire state of Georgia.

“I do a mix of radio, TV, digital and social media for them during the legislative session and I have a position on our TV show called 'Lawmakers,'

"...I’m sure 18-year-old Sarah would be proud."

where I do daily TV reports on what goes on at the state capitol,” she said. “For the rest of the year, I’m reporting on any other political news that’s happening in the state.”

For those that worked closely with Ms. Kallis while at HIES, her career choice does not come as a surprise. Looking back, Upper School teacher Danielle Elms recalls her time as Ms. Kallis’s journalism advisor: “Sarah was always working on her craft. If you look back at her body of work, she was fearless. She knew this path was going to require more ingenuity, but she always thrived in a challenge.”

Ms. Kallis considers the resources available at HIES as the foundation of her current success.

“We [on C&G staff] were encouraged to move creatively and come up with new ideas and new

innovations,” Ms. Kallis said. “How could we serve the community? While we could focus on the process in the school magazine, we also figured out who we are in the world and what we wanted to do. Because we had the resources, we had the creative freedom to just focus on the product. I was able to focus on my reporting and refining my journalism skills. I am so grateful I had the freedom to create at HIES – it set me up for such success.”

Recently, Ms. Kallis shared about her time at a HIES Fine Arts panel, where she discussed her route to where she is now, and dropped plenty of wisdom on our Golden Bears.

“I think there's a little bit of stigma around pursuing a more creative career,” she said. “They

may think 'I'm not gonna make any money’ or ‘it's just impossible’, so it was nice to talk to those students and encourage them. A more creative, nontraditional career is a totally attainable goal for them. They have the resources here at HIES to help their success.”

She added how it was “great to connect with the students,” and “nice to talk to them while they’re still deciding what they want to do.”

Though many may move on with the more “traditional” approaches to whatever they do, Sarah Kallis ’18 chose the proactive route, using her solid Holy Innocents’ background mixed with her own ingenuity in paving her way to success.

CREATING &CONNECTING Emma Martin '16

Emma Rolader Martin '16 has always had a passion for strategy and creativity. As the CEO and owner of Emma Martin Events, a full-service event planning company specializing in weddings and corporate events worldwide, Ms. Martin marries her drive for excellence with her appreciation for art and human connection.

Founded in 2019, Emma Martin Events reflects a philosophy that each event should combine strategic execution with artistry—a balance she honed through years of professional and academic experience.

“What began as a passion project quickly evolved into a thriving business as I realized the need for an approach that blends meticulous planning with design-driven creativity,” Ms. Martin said.

With a degree in communications from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Ms. Martin credits her academic foundation and early professional experience in marketing and communications for shaping her strategic mindset. Prior to starting her own business, she worked in marketing and communications supporting wellknown clients Delta Air Lines, Emory University and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

“Those experiences helped me build the skills and relationships needed to grow my business,” she said. But she soon realized she wanted more creative freedom. “After years in corporate event planning and marketing, I saw how much impact thoughtful design and intentional guest experiences could have. Launching my own company gave me the chance to pair strategic

execution with artistry and to have a little fun too!”

While she’s certainly passionate about delivering excellent service and beautiful details in each and every event, Ms. Martin is most proud of her journey as an entrepreneur, taking on the daunting task of scaling her business and forming strategic relationships with others in the industry.

“It’s deeply rewarding to see how strong relationships both with clients and industry partners can drive success and create lasting impact,” she said.

That commitment to relationships extends beyond her business model. Ms. Martin and her team design every celebration with thoughtful attention to detail and a deep respect for each client’s story.

“Some of our favorite moments come from working with legacy clients,” she explained. “It is incredibly meaningful when a family invites us back to plan another child’s wedding after we have already walked through the process with them once before.”

In addition to weddings, Emma Martin Events also supports large-scale corporate clients around the world. From global conferences and brand activations to milestone anniversaries and tradeshows, her team has worked with organizations including Delta Air Lines, SkyTeam and the International Federation of Accountants. Each project, whether a multi-day international conference with hybrid components or a luxury celebration, is designed to reflect the client’s brand and purpose seamlessly.

Ms. Martin’s time at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School brought her close-knit community and diverse opportunities. As an Alpha-Omega,

she spent her entire educational journey at HIES, immersing herself in academics, athletics, leadership and the arts–she remains grateful for the guidance of her chorus and orchestra teacher Elizabeth Lamback and looks back fondly on her time as a Golden Bear.

“We used to joke that our graduating class of about 110 made HIES feel small, but my involvement in so many activities made it feel wonderfully expansive...the world felt like my oyster.”

Now based in Nashville, Ms. Martin continues to make an impact beyond her business. She mentors students at her alma mater to help fellow Tar Heels navigate their career paths, and volunteers as a youth sports coach, an extension of her early leadership experiences as a fifth-grade basketball coach during her senior year at HIES.

Looking ahead, she’s eager to continue expanding Emma Martin Events in size and reach.

“I’m excited to grow globally, particularly with largescale conferences and brand events while still keeping space for the intimate, highly personalized weddings that inspired me to begin this work,” she said. “Building out my team and creative network further is also a big focus so we can continue offering clients both thoughtful design and flawless execution at any scale.”

For current Golden Bears, she offers this expert advice:

“Explore every opportunity. Get involved, build relationships and take risks. Your path may not always be linear but every experience will teach you something valuable. And most importantly, enjoy the ride!”

DESIGNING FOR TAYLOR SWIFT + LIVING A CREATIVE'S DREAM

KELSEY RANDALL '05

BY CAROLINE NICHOLS

For Kelsey Randall '05, designing custom garments for some of the world’s biggest stars has become part of her everyday life. The New York-based designer and stylist has dressed names like Lizzo, Margot Robbie and Carrie Underwood. But her latest milestone is a careerdefining dream come true: designing for a global icon, and her personal favorite artist, Taylor Swift.

Swift’s newest album, "The Life of a Showgirl" features not one but two custom Kelsey Randall creations. Swift dons her design in the viral video for "The Fate of Ophelia," which over 200 million views on YouTube (and counting). The same look also appears on the cover of the limited-release acoustic version of the record. A second Kelsey Randall piece is showcased in promotional photography for the album, as well as the official album art.

Swift’s styling team reached out earlier this year, asking for one of her signature chainmail dresses.

"I knew it was for Taylor, but they had to keep the theme a complete secret," she recalled, speaking to Page Six Style. She describes these recent days as "truly a fashion girl's dream!"

Ms. Randall’s love for design started early. As a student, she pored over bridal magazines and runway shows, dreaming of creating clothes that would capture a sense of drama and beauty. She remains close friends with Rachel Shunnarah '05, associate director of college counseling at HIES, whom she met in her early days as a Golden Bear.

"When I launched my brand 10 years ago, the first name on the top of my list of people I wanted to dress was ALWAYS Taylor Swift."

"It's extremely gratifying to see my dear friend's hard work pay off after two decades in the business," Ms. Shunnarah said. "She's been talented since the minute I met her...she created and sold duct tape purses and custom mini skirts to our classmates in Middle School! She always had big dreams, and through hard work and determination, she's realized them."

"When I launched my brand 10 years ago, the first name on the top of my list of people I wanted to dress was ALWAYS Taylor Swift," Ms. Randall shared on Instagram. "It has truly been the honor of my career to design for my favorite artist!"

For Ms. Randall, the dream became real when

After graduating from HIES, Ms. Randall attended the prominent Parsons School of Design, where she won the Parsons Critic’s Choice Award. She launched her own label in 2015, building a reputation for bold, made-toorder pieces beloved by musicians, brides and

fashion insiders. She also teaches a sewing class at Parsons, giving back to the fashion program that helped launch her career.

Despite her global success, Ms. Randall still points back to HIES as the place where her creative journey first found solid ground. During a 2018 visit where she held an on-campus editorial photo shoot, she reflected on her formative years in the Fine Arts program:

"What I always loved about Holy Innocents’ is that everyone supported that I wanted to have a career in the arts. A lot of times, kids that want to work in creative fields are encouraged not to study that, or to go to college for something else. My teachers always told me that this was something I could do if I worked hard for it."

Ms. Randall credits her HIES teachers for preparing her with both the confidence and the technical skills to succeed at Parsons. Among others, she particularly remembers the guidance and support of her Upper School art teachers Alice Thompson and Judie Jacobs, as well as her close relationship with Dorothy Sullivan, who was Ms. Randall's Lower School Principal.

Now, as Kelsey Randall '05 continues to bring her bold vision to life and enjoys her own center-stage moment, she carries with her the encouragement and foundation she first found at The 805.

KICKING HIS WAY HOME

MARSHALL NICHOLS '21

Marshall Nichols ’21 kicked his way to the West and has now kicked his way back home to Atlanta. The HIES alumni and former Univeristy of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) punter is now at Georgia Tech, where he had another great season.

During the 2025 season, his stats remained from good to amazing, as he averaged almost 48 yards per punt, had a long of 64 and kicked the opponents inside the 20-yard line 13 times.

His work is catching national attention as well. After playing a key role in helping Georgia Tech defeat Temple with a score of 45-24, Mr. Nichols

was named Atlantic Coast Conference Specialist of the Week and made the Ray Guy Award Ray’s 8 list.

After graduating from HIES, he began his collegiate career at Mississippi State, where he was red-shirted. Moving on to UNLV, he was a two-time honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference selection where he averaged 44.3 yards per punt that season.

The year prior, he was top 10 in the nation (47.1 average) and recorded the second longest punt in UNLV history with a 79 yarder. During all this,

he was a member of the Academic All-Mountain West Team and UNLV Dean’s List. He was also featured on ESPN highlights with a fake punt, engineered by him, that resulted in a touchdown.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in management while at UNLV and is now pursuing a master’s degree in economics at Georgia Tech.

While at HIES, he was named All-State twice, was ranked as one of the nation’s top punters by the Chris Sailer Kicking School and was named All-American by MaxPreps his senior year in 2020. Ironically, he began in the Middle School at HIES as a quarterback where he played under Daniel Forrester, director of technology integration and previous Middle School teacher and football coach.

Mr. Forrester remembers his time with Mr. Nichols fondly: “One of my favorite memories of Marshall was way back at the beginning in Middle School. He was the kind of kid who would play anything to stay on Baker Field, but he really wanted to be the quarterback. He won the job and would stay after practices with a few other guys and run what they fondly called 'Forresters,' which were supposed to be a 'corrective' drill to get extra conditioning and toughness.

“Near the start of the season we needed a punter, and, of course Marshall volunteered. In true Marshall form, he would stay after practices to work with me and on his own punting. It was nice to have your quarterback also be the punter, as it made running a fake easier. I then connected him with a friend of mine who trains college and pro kickers and the rest is history. He put in the work, and it has paid off. Present day, it’s so much fun to watch him on Saturdays now.”

Mr. Nichols also has great memories of his time at HIES. “I would definitely say that a big moment from Holy Innocents' was the ELCA upset win in 2019 and really just the whole season that year. Beating Wesleyan 35-0 the week after, the first Homecoming game at Baker Field, winning the region and going 12-1.” The ELCA upset occured when the visiting team came in undefeated, while HIES had to get a win simply to get into the playoffs. The game ended with a HIES vistory

His thought on currently being at Georgia Tech is a simple one: “It’s great to be home!”

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS @ HIES HOMECOMING 2025

Some moments in the life of a school quietly define more than a single week or celebration–they reveal and celebrate who we are becoming. Homecoming 2025 was one of those moments.

On a perfect fall evening, under a sky that felt impossibly clear, Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School experienced something we had never experienced before: Friday Night Lights. For the first time in our history, Golden Bears football took the field at home after dark, under lights that did far more than illuminate yard lines and goalposts. They illuminated memory, effort and a community that has always known how to show up.

Before the switch was thrown, I had the privilege of standing at midfield and looking out at a sight that was, frankly, surreal. Alumni shoulder to shoulder with current families. Students decorating the field. Faculty and staff everywhere. Neighbors and friends filling the stands. It felt like Golden Bear Nation in its fullest expression.

Earlier that night, someone asked what it would feel like when the lights came on.

“I’m expecting chills,” Caroline Clear Rudolph ’00 said. She was right.

THE BEST MOMENTS AT HOLY INNOCENTS’ DON’T JUST LIVE IN 'URSIDAE' OR ON INSTAGRAM, THEY SETTLE INTO WHO YOU ARE, AND THEY TRAVEL WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU LEAVE.

For longtime supporter Carol Miller, the moment carried deep personal meaning. “There was no football at Holy Innocents’,” Ms. Miller said. “Bart [Miller], when he got on the board, worked with a lot of other people and they worked really hard to get football here… and he would be so excited to see lights on the field tonight.”

Her words reminded all of us that what feels inevitable, in hindsight, is almost always the result of persistence, vision and belief.

It’s worth pausing here to acknowledge something else that made this night significant. Friday night lights have been part of high school football since before the chinstrap. They are common across the city, state and country, but they are not simple everywhere. As a conscientious neighbor and longtime Sandy Springs resident, HIES takes seriously its responsibilities to the surrounding community. This evening represented years of careful planning, collaboration and trust-building. What unfolded so effortlessly under the lights was, in truth, the result of patience, partnership and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.

That belief stretches back decades. During the tenure of Kirk Duncan, former head of school, athletics became a central part of our culture. With the leadership of Bart Miller and former Athletic Director Rob Weltz, football moved from dream to varsity program. In 2006, Coach Ryan Livezey led the Golden Bears onto the field for their inaugural season. Since then, countless student-athletes—football players, cheer squads, pep bands, managers, trainers, coaches and teams across every sport—have poured their hearts into this campus. None had ever played a home game under the lights. Until now.

That night was not just about football. It was about continuity. About honoring those who built this place—from board chairs and trustees to faculty, staff and neighbors—and about recognizing the people who worked behind the scenes to make a complicated, ambitious evening feel effortless. It was about gratitude.

SCAN TO WATCH A VIDEO RECAP OF HOMECOMING 2025.

Standing nearby, Head of School Paul Barton summed it up best: “This is Holy Innocents’. The Golden Bear Nation is showing up as never before. And to be here after all these years to experience it… amazing. It feels historic. It is a night we won’t soon forget.”

What struck me most wasn’t the spectacle, though it was beautiful. It was the feeling — the sense that no one wanted to miss this. That people lingered. That laughter carried across the Owen Family Quad. That alumni returned and celebrated. It felt unmistakably HIES.

The lights eventually went dark. The stands emptied. The field reverted to its familiar quiet. But something meaningful remained.

Moments like Friday Night Lights don’t fade because they’re not really about lights or games, or even wins and losses. They’re about belonging. About showing up for one another. About a community that continues to inspire each mind and fire each heart—generation after generation.

For those who were there, it’s a memory that will last. And like all the best moments at Holy Innocents’, it’s a reminder that this is more than a place you attend. It’s a place you carry with you.

It was one bright, beautiful evening that reminded us of exactly who we are.

Go Bears.

ALUMNI CLASS REPS

The Class of 2038 performed the sweet retelling of the Christmas story in the annual Kindergarten Nativity to a packed house of family, friends and special guests.

Last Word JOHN BAUM'S

Wit, wisdom and observations from an Upper School English teacher.

As I write this, the shine of the new school year still glints, but by the time you read it, the glint will have rusted. So it goes. American autumn has a bright energy that inevitably and regrettably fades as a darker, more sluggish energy oozes into place. I’m looking right at you, January and February.

By the time this prints, the holidays will have passed and we will be settled into the postChristmas quandry of "fake spring" versus polar vortex. But for now, I’ll creep back from that ledge and belt out a statement of fact with no official statistical data: Everyone loves the fall. There’s a freshness to it bolstered by cooler temperatures and the succession of holidays. Don’t believe me? Go back and watch "You’ve Got Mail." In an email to Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan), Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) claims that New York in the fall makes him want to buy school supplies, and, if he could, he would send Ms. Kelly a bouquet of sharpened pencils. See? There it is. Autumn-induced nostalgia and enjoyment from America’s favorite couple of yesteryear.

Personally, as an English teacher and annoyer of students, one of the joys of Autumn is the exciting new season of slang. I call it KidSpeak, and I like to know what it is because it makes kids squirm, and that’s funny. There are few things kids love less than adults adopting and bungling their lingo. Again, that’s funny.

As far as new additions to KidSpeak, this year has not been a disappointment. Just take the

following conversation that may have occurred in any class:

Teacher: “Good morning, everyone. Decent weekend?”

Student: “Six-Seven.”

Teacher: “Is that a rating?”

Student: “Bruh.”

Teacher: “Okay. Well, it’s nice out, so I thought we’d have today’s class outside.”

Student: “Perf!”

Let’s unpack this conversation.

It begins with a standard Monday greeting but is answered with what appears to be an inability to judge the weekend. Was it a six or a seven on a scale of one to ten? Also, there is a gesture to accompany the response: the speaker repeatedly raises one hand and then the other, palms up, as if testing the weight of imaginary objects as she or he says, “Six-Seven.” It means nothing, and it has taken the chaotic linguistic world by storm.

In an attempt to decipher the odd answer, the teacher gets the verbal equivalent of a very dramatic eyeroll: “Bruh.” Think of this as the equivalent to the 80s version of “No duh.”

“Perf” is the truncated form of “perfect.” This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Some (adults) call it verbal laziness while others (students) deem it efficient (See also “collab” and “sitch”). No matter—at least it lands on planet positive.

Why bring this up at all? As adults, we get set in our ways. We become grumpy. We shake our fists and begin sentences with “Back in my day.” Kids are still kids. They grasp any term and make it their own, and fiercely so. They revel in it, (lest we forget—so did we!). At the Great Day of Service pep rally, an entire section of bleachers packed with fifth-grade students were all doing that “SixSeven” thing with their hands—and having a ball. If the "Six-Seven" thing annoys you, don’t worry. It won’t last long. Remember the “Flossing” dance craze? You probably just smiled as you thought about it. See? That’s the beauty of these

seemingly trivial bits of youthdom. Mention them when they’re out of fashion and a smile or chuckle often follows. Think parachute pants, moonboots, Richard Simmons.

But here’s an even bigger deal: there will always be slang and annoying phrases that delight kids and chafe adults. But these days, maybe, it’s more important. They don’t all watch the same shows on Thursday nights ("Family Ties?" "227?" "Growing Pains?"). Their musical tastes stretch way beyond the weekly Rick Dees Top 40 Countdown. Think of their lingo as their cultural glue and, if you get the chance, make them squirm, but let them have their fun and enjoy the shorter days, longer nights and make your best efforts to make the new season a six or seven. Perf.

Additionally, the PA’s Fundraising and Community Life committees marshal the resources, talents and efforts of hundreds of parent volunteers to provide the “extras” that enrich the lives of HIES students and our community

In 2024-2025, the Parents’ Association conducted several fundraising activities: the annual Tuition Raffle, sales of the Bear Benefits Card, Bingo Nights, Bear WearHouse and Community Partner programs with the likes of Amazon, Publix, Kroger, and Mabel’s Labels. The PA’s annual Golden Gala 25 was held at Flourish Atlanta with a record 650 guests in attendance. The Parents’ Association fundraising activities during the 2024-25 school year yielded significant revenues and enabled the PA to donate more than $440,000 directly to the School, benefitting HIES students and families. Said funds were committed to each division for items such as field trips, assemblies, speakers, iPads and Mac books, playground equipment, garden beds, and much more to enhance the student and school experience, plus the PA’s Capital Campaign pledge and the HIES Annual Fund.

In addition to fundraising, our Parents’ Association also supports and funds the following programs, and offers them free of charge to the HIES community:

• Parent representatives for each grade and division

• “Buddy” families who welcome new families to HIES

• Monthly grade-newsletters, chock full of timely information about HIES happenings and opportunities for parents to volunteer and get involved

• Parent updates and information sharing via Facebook and Instagram

• Faculty and Staff appreciation events – including a festive Christmas and Spring Luncheon, “Teacher Treats” breakfast buffets and barista coffees, and other such special acknowledgements throughout the school year

• Compelling Parent Education events with guest speakers and facilitators, funded by the Parents’ Association and offered free of charge to parents

• A parent field trip to the Center for Civil and Human Rights - a powerful journey that lends itself to informative and fruitful conversations with our children and wider community and offered for free to parents through HIES’s partnership with the Center.

• HIES Around the World community culture celebration and potluck dinner

• Special speakers, and outings to promote cultural awareness and drive inclusivity throughout our HIES parent community

• 5th and 6th grade Cotillion class coordination

• Prayer gathering for parents, held each month during the school year in Christ Chapel at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church

• Support and service to HIES families in need through our Caring Bears program

FINE ARTS ALLIANCE

The Fine Arts Alliance (FAA), established in 2003, is dedicated to promoting and enhancing all Holy Innocents’ fine arts programs including chorus, band, orchestra, theatre, visual arts and media literacy programs. Through enthusiastic parent involvement, we provide volunteer and financial support to our award-winning Fine Arts Department. Art education helps broaden students’ perspectives on the world and enhances traditional academics, allowing them to express their creativity while challenging their intellect.

The Fine Arts Alliance is proud to offer our support through hundreds of volunteer hours and fundraising. The FAA’s financial contributions support the purchase of equipment and instruments, underwrite guest artists, clinicians, choreographers and journalists, and provide financial aid for student travel and scholarships for graduating seniors.

One of the highlights of our fundraising efforts is our academic partnership with the High Museum of Art. This partnership allows HIES students and faculty to enjoy behind-the-scenes access to exhibitions, curators and educational staff and museum spaces during the school year. In addition, free entrance for field trips, professional development opportunities, discounted memberships for

HIES families, student internship opportunities, donated catalogs of all exhibitions and an opportunity to host an annual exhibition of student artwork at the High are just some of the privileges this exciting partnership provides.

In 2024-25 the FAA raised over $100,000 to support the following arts initiatives:

• Our on-going academic affiliation with the High Museum

• Specialist in-class instruction by artists in residence and guest artists

• Additional venues for student performances and exhibitions

• New instruments for orchestra and band, as well as guitars, synthesizers and music production controllers for other music classes

• New equipment for pottery classes

• New camera equipment for photography and yearbook students

• New equipment for sewing classes

The Fine Arts Alliance also continued to provide financial support and scholarships for fine arts students.
