St. Stephen's Episcopal School

The heart of St. Stephen’s is our people. 💜

As we close another school year, we celebrate the faculty and staff whose dedication, leadership and service have helped shape generations of Spartans. We recognize those entering retirement and extend our heartfelt thanks to colleagues whose tenure on The Hill is coming to a close.

A special thank you to Mason Cox, who is retiring after 45 years of service to St. Stephen’s. Over the decades, Mason has worn many hats, served the community in countless ways and made a lasting impact on life on The Hill.

To all those we honor, thank you for the countless ways you have advanced our mission and enriched this community. We are grateful for your impact and wish you all the best in your next chapter. 💜

Congratulations, Class of 2030 💜

We celebrated our 8th grade Middle School graduates and all they've accomplished. Through academics, arts, athletics and service, these Spartans have grown in knowledge, character and confidence while building friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

We are proud of all you have achieved and can't wait to see what's next on The Hill. 💜

The power of community in action 💜

Thanks to the generosity of 131 donors, the McCormick Challenge has been successfully met, unlocking an additional $6 million for Lasting Impact: The Campaign for St. Stephen’s.

Together, we have now raised nearly $71 million toward our $85 million goal — creating opportunities that will benefit generations of Spartans to come.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone possible. 💜
