Dear HIES Community,

I'm honored to introduce myself as the new chief advancement officer at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School. After spending my career partnering with schools and nonprofits to advance their missions, I'm thrilled to begin this next chapter at HIES at such an exciting moment in the school’s history. 

I've already seen firsthand the generosity, warmth and commitment that make HIES so special. From my earliest conversations with school leadership, it was clear that this is a place defined by purpose and a deep commitment to its mission. As I step into this role, I do so with tremendous respect for the extraordinary foundation Michele Duncan built over more than two decades. I am grateful for the opportunity to build on the school’s history of success and legacy of generosity.

I look forward to getting to know many of you in the months ahead, celebrating all that makes HIES so special and partnering with you to support the school's bold vision for the future. I can't wait to see all that we will accomplish together.

Sincerely,

Courtney Ferencik
Chief Advancement Officer

You Make the Difference

Thank you for supporting our Golden Bears! There is no Holy Innocents' Episcopal School without you. We are so grateful for your support – our parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, friends, foundations, and corporations.

Why Give?

"It is important for me to give back to a place that helped form the person I am today. I firmly believe in giving to The Golden Bear Annual Fund to further develop Holy Innocents' so that the school can continue to have a positive impact on its community and student body in similar way in which the school has impacted my life."
