A history assignment at Episcopal School of Baton Rouge came to life recently when Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Hancock, and other notable historical figures held a meeting in Aldrich Library. The Upper School American History students donned costumes and wigs to play the parts during Episcopal’s first Dead Patriots Party. The students enjoyed the experience and were able to learn about history from a whole new perspective. “Putting yourself in the shoes of historic people is the best way to learn about them,” says history teacher Adam Rowe. “Plus, students had to write a short autobiography from their perspective as well. So they researched and then had to figure out the personality of their person.” The Dead Patriots Party highlights the spirit of learning, collaboration, and creativity, which are the hallmarks of an Episcopal education.
