The building to which Parish Episcopal belongs has made a significant impact on my life. I spent 10 years of my life walking into that building almost every single day. From 3rd -12th grade students at Parish attend the upper-campus which is located in Farmer’s Branch, TX.
The building was designed by I.M. Pei. He was a modernist architect who also helped to shape the Dallas skyline, he designed Dallas City Hall (1977), One Dallas Center (1979), Energy Plaza (1983), Fountain Place (1986), and the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center (1989). This building was designed for Exxon as an office complex. It was occupied by Exxon until Parish purchased the building in 2002. This building has made such a profound impact on my life, positive and negative. I have dreaded walking into the school at 8am and did not want to leave it after I graduated. I can without a doubt say that it has helped to shape who I am today.
