All
Saints Episcopal School is an independent college
preparatory school (4K-12) that develops excellence in academics,
fine arts and athletics, while encouraging students to achieve
their maximum potential within an environment that embraces
diversity, fosters leadership, encourages service and nurtures
spiritual growth.
All Saints Episcopal School is nurturing generations
of leaders. However,
tuition dollars only cover 80% of the school's operating
budget and the remainder must be accomplished by fundraising.
Students lead by contributing to various community organizations
such as the Good Samaritan Foundation, American Red Cross,
Mercy Ships, PATH, the East Texas Food Bank, Susan G. Komen,
Samaritan's Purse, Habitat for Humanity, among others. To
see their contributions, please view our Community
Service Powerpoint. The powerpoint
presentation requires 2003 version of PowerPoint, or it
will not view correctly.
We invite you to join us for this
extraordinary event.
