What an amazing year this has been! I have thoroughly enjoyed another year as Head of School and have no doubts that CES is indeed the best school around. The supportive and engaged faculty make the students’ days filled with learning and love. I want to sincerely thank all of the encouraging board members, faculty, parents, and students that make this school so incredibly special. God has certainly blessed this precious school, Christ Episcopal School, and blessed me. Catherine F. Oliver Head of School
