A Message From the
GESPA President

Welcome to Grace! I am delighted to continue work as the Grace Episcopal School Parents Association (GESPA) President. Grace isn’t just a school, it’s a community like no other. Every family at Grace is part of GESPA. It is an honor, and I am eager to make this year special for our students, families, and staff.

GESPA engages families in different school events all year long. We are already hard at work planning our Fall Family Social and laying the groundwork for our annual Gala. Our crowd favorites, BINGO! Night and Talent Show, events like pizza parties, parent socials, Friday morning coffees, and the ever-popular Grace Field Day create audible joy and cultivate our tangible sense of community that grows every year with new families.

Our children love seeing parents involved and learn about community involvement and how we can all work together to make Grace and our larger community a better place. At the heart of Grace, are our faculty and staff. One of the most rewarding GESPA activities is Teacher Appreciation Week.

I encourage you all to pick a role or event, grab a friend and get involved!

There is so much behind-the-scenes work our parent volunteers do. If you have questions, feedback or would like more information on volunteer opportunities, please contact the GESPA leadership team via email at gespa@graceschoolalex.org.

We can’t wait to celebrate the 2025-2025 school year with you!

The Grace Partnership for Excellence

As part of the Grace Partnership for Excellence, we are committed to creating and maintaining a strong partnership between school and family. This shared responsibility of helping our children meet educational and personal goals ensures the ultimate success of each Grace student.

Students at Grace Episcopal School are expected to grow in knowledge, responsibility and maturity as they progress through the grades. With the encouragement, care, advice and support that stems from strong parent-teacher relationships, students at Grace thrive academically and socially: growing in self-awareness, self-confidence, integrity and independence. Parents can expect an open line of communication with administrators and teachers at all times during their child’s educational journey at Grace.

Students

The Students’ Role is to aim high, work hard and achieve to the best of their abilities. Grace Episcopal School students take responsibility for their own studies and character building, and also contribute positively to the experience of all others in the school. Students contribute to school spirit and the learning environment of Grace Episcopal School and are not merely served by it. They complement the work and dedication of their parents and their teachers.

Teachers

The Teachers’ Role is to create a positive environment for learning, offering a high quality program of study and inspiring the students’ efforts through encouragement and support. Teachers strive to use the students’ unique talents to help them build character and self-esteem. They are dedicated to their students and the school both in the classroom and beyond.

Parents

The Parents’ Role is to be partners in the learning and growing process, fostering in their children the attitudes and work habits which lead to academic and personal success. Parents help children develop judgment, sensitivity and an appreciation of the diversity of beliefs and cultures in our communities and in Grace Episcopal School. They make schoolwork a top priority and insist on diligent effort, supporting their children in times of difficulty and rejoicing in their successes.
