Penniman Scholars

The 2018 Penniman Scholars are:
  • Justin Dynes – Class of 2022
  • Suzie Heneghan – Class of 2023
  • Elliott Breidenbach – Class of 2024

The students were recently honored with a luncheon in the Episcopal Head of School’s Office. Head of School Hugh McIntosh, Penniman Scholars Founder, G. Allen Penniman, Jr. and Margaret Penniman Boudreaux, a 1976 Episcopal graduate and fifth grade Episcopal teacher, hosted the event.  The Penniman Awards are determined by the grade level English teachers and recognize the outstanding English student in each Middle School grade. This year marks the 30th year the Penniman Scholars have been recognized by Episcopal.

Future Entrepreneurs

Three Episcopal students were chosen for the inaugural class of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy of Baton Rouge (YEA BR). Congratulations to the following:
  • Abhay Basireddy
  • Akshay Basireddy
  • Charlie Roth
YEA BR is a 30-week program taught by faculty from the LSU E.J. Ourso College of Business, the LSU Innovation Park and local business professionals. Students learn everything from how to create a business plan to how to create a company logo. By the end of the program, students actually launch their own business. This year’s group of 26 students represents 15 schools from the Greater Baton Rouge region.

MozFest

Ella and Stephen Barker have been chosen to present at Mozilla Festival (MozFest) in London this October. The students will educate festival attendees on VR StoryGram and Google Expedition. VR StoryGram will introduce participants to the international implications of Louisiana’s disappearing coastline. The Google Expedition presentation will introduce participants to ways in which Expedition can be used outside of the classroom and how it can be used to create a tour to reach a defined audience. MozFest is a five day conference organized by Mozilla, the makers of Firefox. Students, hackers, performers, activists, scientists and designers from more than 50 countries attend the festival to share ideas and discuss everything tech. Traditionally, only 20 percent of conference proposals are accepted.

All-District Auditions

Episcopal students are sharing their talents! Ajit Alapati, Tess Cunningham and Ethan Massengale were all recently selected for District IV Honor Choir.
