A Threefold Legacy
by Rebecca Alsup Milner '09
When I look back on my life, one of the biggest turning points was when my parents made the decision to move me to ECS for high school, following in my dad’s footsteps as an alum. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it truly changed the trajectory of my life. Even when I wasn’t leaning into my faith, the Lord used my teachers, Bible classes and friends at ECS to draw me closer to Him. It gave me a solid foundation for college and life beyond, and to this day, I’m proud to tell people that I graduated from ECS.
After college, my husband and I moved away from Memphis, but I always prayed we would end up back here and that our kids could have that same kind of experience. Seven years later, in a very unexpected, only-God kind of way, He brought us back. Now, seeing my daughter become part of the same school community that shaped both me and my dad has been deeply meaningful and feels like a full-circle moment for our family.
In just two years, we have already seen how much ECS has poured into her. She’s come home quoting entire chapters of the Bible, singing songs about Jesus and retelling the Bible stories she has learned at school. This summer, she asked Jesus into her heart, and I have no doubt ECS helped lay the foundation for that decision. Beyond the spiritual growth, we have seen incredible academic strides and are constantly amazed at what she is learning.
If you are considering ECS, I would say this: You won’t find another place quite like it. It is close-knit and Christ-centered, and still offers the opportunities and resources you would expect from a larger school. It’s a place where your kids will be known, challenged and encouraged. It will provide lifelong friends - 15 years later, I still talk to my high school friends every day! For our family, it has become more than just a school; it is part of our legacy. And spoiler: It might just become a multi-generational tradition for your family too.
