History

[edit]

In 1970, a group of community leaders met with Christ Episcopal Church to propose the establishment of a school dedicated to maintaining high academic standards and offering small class sizes. This materialized as Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School, which saw its first class of 11 seniors graduate in 1975.[1]

Today, Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School, or SSES, has a 35-acre campus and serves Pre-K through 12th grade.[2] SSES has also achieved State Championships in a multitude of sports on 20 diffrent occasions.[3]
