St. Paul's Episcopal School

There are teachers who teach subjects. And then there are teachers who teach souls. Dr. Fagbongbe teaches English and Psychology, but somewhere between the novels, life lessons, classroom conversations, and the snack drawer she always keeps stocked, she’s really teaching our Saints something bigger: 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Congratulations Dr. F on your Golden Apple Award! You truly are one of a kind, and we are endlessly grateful you call St. Paul’s home.🌟🍎

Pink and purple filled the Lower School today for one very special little Saint. Lainey, your Saints Family loves you big. We are praying for strength, healing, courage, and smiles that keep shining bright through it all. 🩷💜

As many of you may have seen, one of our youngest Saints, sweet PreK student Lainey Owens, has begun a very difficult journey as she undergoes cancer treatment.

In true St. Paul’s fashion, our students have already begun finding ways to surround Lainey and her family with love and encouragement. On Monday, May 18, students are invited to wear a pink or purple shirt with their regular uniform bottoms in honor of Lainey as she continues her fight.

Thank you for helping us show what it means to be Saints for one another. 🩷💜

We wrapped up another beautiful year of the St. Paul’s Dance Program in partnership with Mobile Ballet with our spring recital - and goodness, our Saints danced their hearts out!

The Arts matter here. They teach courage, discipline, creativity, and the quiet kind of confidence that follows a child long after the curtain closes. We are so proud of every Saint who stepped onto that stage and shined! 🤍🩰🤍

At 3 PM today, we ask our St. Paul’s family and friends to pause and say a prayer for our sweet PreK Saint, Lainey Owens, as she begins her first cancer treatment. Lainey is only 5 years old, with the kind of smile that can soften even the hardest day. Today, her little body begins a very big fight. So we pray for courage bigger than fear. For peace bigger than the unknown. And we pray that Lainey and her family feel wrapped in love from every corner of this community today and in all the days ahead. 🩷💜

Congratulations to our Class of 2026 academic honorees!

We are incredibly proud of these Saints for their hard work and dedication throughout their time at St. Paul’s! 😇😇

Last night was Baccalaureate. Which is a fancy word for: “We gathered together one more time before these Seniors go change the world.” And somewhere between the hymns and the blessings, it hit us. This was never just about graduation caps and diplomas. It was about becoming. About sending these Saints into the world with faith in their hearts, courage in their bones, and the reminder that no matter where life takes them, they will always have a home here.

Saturday they graduate.

Last night, we prayed them forward. 🤍

Some Saints can throw a football. Some Saints can solve calculus. And some can take a blank canvas and make you feel something.

Join us tonight at 5:30 PM in the Upper School Art Gallery for our AP Art Show featuring the incredible work of our Saints. 🎨
