The Episcopal School of Dallas

Congratulations to the L26ENDARY Class of 2026!

Today marks the culmination of years of dedication, perseverance, and unforgettable memories. We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and excited to watch you soar. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!

The Fourth Grade Closing Service marked a special milestone for the Class of 2034 as they concluded their time in the Lower School and prepared to begin their Middle School chapter. Following the ceremony, students made one final walk through the Lower School, cheered on by peers, teachers past and present, and family members. Congratulations to our rising Middle School Eagles!

What an amazing way to wrap up the school year! Our Lower School Eagles spent the day on Founders’ Field celebrating their annual Field Day with water activities, games, and plenty of joyful play. A special thank you to our parents, faculty, and staff for helping make the day such a success. Wishing our Lower School families a wonderful and restful summer!

Our Primer Eagles welcomed families to campus for Pedacitos de Primer, the culminating event for their year-long garden project. After months of planting, creating, and learning, students hosted their own farmers market featuring handmade goods crafted entirely by Primer. Every item sold was thoughtfully made by the class, making each “little piece” (or “pedacito”) especially meaningful.

Over the final two weeks of school, our Middle School Eagles stepped into the spotlight for their annual talent shows. With everything from comedy routines and puppet performances to vocal numbers and instrumental pieces, each act brought something unique to the stage. Bravo to all who performed and shared their talents with the community!

To celebrate one last hurrah together, our fourth graders transformed the Design Lab into a full cardboard arcade for their kindergarten buddies. Students designed and built their own games, then spent the afternoon playing side by side and soaking in some quality time together.

Today, the Class of 2027 celebrated Blue & Yellow Shirt Day, a longstanding ESD tradition commemorating the transition from junior to senior year. Marking their official rise into their final year at ESD, Eagles celebrated the privilege of wearing the blue or yellow senior oxford on formal uniform days. Congratulations to our rising seniors on this exciting milestone!

Today, our sixth grade scientists dissected squids, identifying their body structures and discussing their functions. Students examined how different adaptations support movement, feeding, and defense while exploring the ways organisms survive within larger ecosystems. The lab also reinforced key biology concepts like predator-prey relationships and the roles producers, consumers, and decomposers play in maintaining balance in the natural world.

From cubbies to lockers! Today, our fifth graders stopped by the Lower School to teach the fourth grade class how to use combination locks as they prepare for their transition to Middle School next year.

At ESD, great teaching takes countless forms. It happens in classrooms and science labs, on stages and athletic fields, in art studios, libraries, and gymnasiums. From the earliest years through graduation, our educators create spaces where students are challenged, encouraged, and known. This week, we’re celebrating the teachers whose thoughtfulness, expertise, and care shape the student experience each day. We are deeply grateful for all they pour into this community. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our incredible faculty!
