Saint Stephen's Episcopal School Alumni Association

After 13 years serving as Alumni Director at Saint Stephen's, the time has come for me to say goodbye. It's hard to put into words what all of you have meant to me over the years. From cheering you on at alumni soccer games and sharing laughter and stories at reunions, to sending our newest alums Halloween Goody bags, traveling to NYC alumni receptions, and welcoming the holiday season together each December at Motorworks...these moments have been more than just events - they have been traditions that have filled my heart year after year. Thank you for sharing your time, stories, and school spirit with me. I'll continue to cheer you from afar, proud of who you are and all you accomplish. Please stay connected to SSES, stay Falcon strong, and do say hello if you see me out and about in SRQ. I'll never tire of hearing "how it all turns out" for each and every one of you!
Fondly, Laurie Hoonhout McFeeley

"Looking back, I’m so impressed at how invested the Saint Stephen's faculty were in our success. I'll always be grateful for the extra time they dedicated. The most practically important thing I learned was writing. The English Department creatively balanced preparing us for AP exams with teaching us to be better critical thinkers and communicators. Thanks to the head start I got at Saint Stephen’s, I've felt more than well-equipped to rise to the challenges of writing memos, bills, articles, papers, and legal briefs." - Alex Siegal, Harvard Law School

Like a proud parent, our buttons are bursting with pride here at Saint Stephen's for the success of our alumnus Sydney Brown '18. His dedication to becoming the best football player he can be has never faltered, and he is now not only a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champion, but he will forever be "our Super Bowl Champion!" Huge congratulations, Sydney.

A stellar panel of alumni returned to campus on January 8, 2025, providing wonderful advice for upper schoolers on navigating all aspects of college life.

“The passion of my AP chemistry teacher inspired my love of the subject and led me down the path of pursuing it as a career. Without the dedication Saint Stephen's puts into choosing staff that have a love for teaching and passion to develop students, I don’t think I would have ended up where I am now.” - Dr. Janelle Coutts, NASA Analytical Lab Branch Technical Lead

“The years I spent at Saint Stephen’s were the most formative of my life. The impact the teachers had on me is incalculable and the friendships I made still endure as the greatest I have ever had.”
- Jason Kaplan, FBI Deputy Assistant Director
