Welcome from the Head of School
A Welcome Letter from Head of School, Peter Klekamp
Strong academic programming is a hallmark of a Holy Comforter education. We continuously evolve our curriculum and seek out learning tools and programs that inspire our students, empower our teachers and engage the classroom.
At Holy Comforter Episcopal, we make decisions based on what is best for our students. Our child-centered approach challenges them to not only to be good students in the classroom, but to be better people in the community. From pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, HCES children thrive in a safe, loving and nurturing environment, passionate instruction, and individualized attention. Our dedicated faculty are expert teachers who focus on the personal growth and success of each child. We live out our mission every day by guiding and directing growth academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
At HCES we challenge ourselves as educators to challenge each student to grow and become better. We value the relationships that are formed with our parent community so that we can work together for the best interest of the child. After working in two K-12 schools it is clearly evident to me that the Pre-K through 8th grade program is the absolute best educational model. We take pride in our graduates being overly prepared to be successful in high school and as a parent, there is great value in having your teenager transition “under your roof” before going off to college.
Our parents have one thing in common – they want what is best for their children. We hope that you will explore our website, but more importantly visit our campus, so that you have a better sense of what makes us unique as a school community.
I look forward to meeting you in person and allowing our students to introduce Holy Comforter Episcopal School to your family. My door is always open!
Most Sincerely,
Peter M. Klekamp
Head of School
It takes a village - It takes a school community to successfully teach and raise this next generation. We are forever grateful to all who have embraced the mission of our school over the years and have provided the rock-solid foundation on which we are built. When you come onto this campus there is a “feeling” that exists. A feeling that is hard to put into words. These holy grounds of Holy Comforter. That feeling? It’s love. It’s a love we all share for this school – a place we often call “Holy Comfortable.”
Our Mission
We believe each child is a unique creation of God and it is our role to nourish the spirit, challenge the mind, and strengthen the body of each student so they are inspired to be the difference in our world.

“From the moment we stepped on campus, we could feel your mission and your sense of call. One of the highest compliments we can give is that every one of us with children came out the the classrooms saying, ‘Gosh, we wish our children could go here.’ It’s the type of teaching, the methodology, the nurturing environment, the caring and that’s a high compliment. If we want our students here, then all students should be here.”
