What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable, than that of teaching?

about epcds

El Paso Country Day School (EPCDS) in El Paso, Texas, was founded in 1980 as a private, independent, non-sectarian school dedicated to high standards for academic learning. Beginning with one class each of pre-school and kindergarten, the campus expanded for the next seven years to grade six. In 1989, grades seven and eight were added. Four years later, the school began adding high school grades with the first students graduating in 1997. Since that time the school has served one class at each grade from three year-old pre-school through twelfth grade.
