IMPORTANT Changes at English Station Effective Monday, April 26
Due to ongoing construction, the English Station main front entrance and lobby will be temporarily relocated effective Monday, April 26, through the end of May. The temporary entrance/lobby will move to door 33, which is currently being used as the preschool/junior academy entrance. Door 33 is directly across from the visitor’s parking lot and adjacent to the tennis courts (see map). Please do not enter at elementary doors 31/32. Students arriving in carpool continue to enter through the same doors.
Two important changes as a result of this relocation:
- All high school student drivers arriving in the morning may enter through door 4, the outer side entrance with “High School” lettering above the door. Any high school student drivers arriving late in the morning should also ring the buzzer at door 4 to enter. All Co-op students will sign out in the high school office.
- All visitors and elementary/middle school late arrivals and early pick-ups, as well as any items which need to be dropped off for a student, and all other typical reasons to stop by or enter through our current lobby should now occur at the temporary entrance at door 33. There we will follow our typical visitor procedures, including taking temperatures, etc.
Thank you all for your flexibility during construction. We invite everyone to continue praying for safety, completed construction projects, classroom changes and adjustments for new/returning students as we prepare for an upcoming school year with the blessing of significant student growth.

Celebrating Black History Month – Henry (Hank) Louis Aaron Jr.
Henry (Hank) Louis Aaron Jr., was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934. Aaron began his professional baseball career in 1952 in the Negro League. He joined the Milwaukee Braves of the major league in 1954, eight years after Jackie Robinson had integrated baseball. Aaron was the last Negro League player to compete in the majors. He quickly established himself as an important player for the Braves and won the National League batting title in 1956. The following season, he took home the league’s MVP award and helped the Braves beat Mickey Mantle and the heavily favored New York Yankees in the World Series. In 1959, Aaron won his second league batting title. Aaron is best known for breaking Babe Ruth’s record of 714 career home runs, which he established in 1935. On April 8, 1974, in front of a crowd of over 50,000 fans at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Aaron hit his 715th career home run in the fourth inning of a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sadly, in the months leading up to the new record, Aaron received piles of racist hate mail and death threats from those unhappy about seeing the Babe’s record broken, especially by a Black man. Aaron, who played for the Milwaukee Braves from 1954 to 1965 and the Atlanta Braves from 1966 to 1974, spent the final two seasons of his 23 years in the majors with the Milwaukee Brewers. When he retired in 1976, he left the game with 755 career home runs, a record that stood until August 7, 2007, when it was broken by Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants. Aaron still holds the records for most career runs batted in (2,297), most career total bases (6,856) and most career extra base hits (1,477). After retiring as a player, Aaron became one of baseball’s first Black executives, with the Atlanta Braves. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. Aaron died on January 22, 2021 at age 86.
