A Message From the
2024-25 GESPA President

Welcome to Grace! What a special community you have found! I am elated to begin work as the Grace Episcopal School Parents Association (GESPA) president. It is an honor, and I am eager to make this special year unforgettable for our students, families, and staff.

When looking at schools for our children, it was of utmost importance we found a school that would challenge them academically, empower them socially and allow them to grow in the world, in their own way. We found that and so much more at Grace. Our faculty and staff are incredible and truly the heart of this amazing community. It is hard to believe my family is starting our sixth year at Grace. With my oldest beginning his last year at Grace, it has become abundantly clear what a gift the last five years have been to our family.

Grace isn’t just a school, it’s a community like no other. Every family at Grace is part of GESPA. Children learn so much by seeing their parents supporting the school and volunteering for events. GESPA engages families in different school events all year long. From our crowd favorites, BINGO! Night and Talent Show to events like pizza parties, parent socials, and the ever-popular Grace Field Day. Grace has a wonderfully vibrant sense of community that grows every year with new families.

Whether you have been at Grace for years or are just joining our community we have opportunities for you to get involved! If you have questions or would like more information on volunteer opportunities, I invite you to contact the GESPA leadership team via email at gespa@graceschoolalex.org. Better yet please say HELLO! We would love to meet you!

Here’s to a memorable year at Grace, filled with learning, laughter, and LOTS of memories. See you at school!

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.
