The land that is now the site of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a rich history of commitment and dedication to patient care and community health. From its early beginnings in 1943 as the 1,000-bed Camp Fannin Army hospital site during World War II through decades of fighting against pulmonary diseases like tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asbestosis, UT Health Science Center has served the citizens of Texas with distinction. Great strides have been made in subsequent years, advancing healthcare through biomedical research one discovery at a time in scientific areas including lung injury and repair, infectious lung diseases, and cancer, to name just a few ongoing research projects. Today, the biomedical research conducted at UT Health Science Center is nationally recognized and competitively funded by private foundations, non-profit organizations, the Centers for Disease Control, and the gold standard of research support – the National Institutions of Health. As UT Health Science Center continues to make its dreams a reality, the tradition of excellence and public service that began with a barracks hospital 75 years ago remains a core commitment today.

Episcopalians, like all Christians, believe that our life is founded on the life of Jesus and that as a Church, we are called to offer the redeeming love of God in Christ to all people. Episcopal schools are a concrete expression of the Church’s care for young people and their families and believe that God calls us to love God’s children. This open, welcoming, and loving attitude toward people of all faith traditions ensure that every child is a beloved member of the school community. As an Episcopal School in the more than 300-year tradition of Episcopalians providing excellence in education, All Saints reflects a particular style and temperament unique to other private schools. While independent in mission, operation, and governance, our relationship with the Episcopal Church connects us to the history, tradition, resources, and stability of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, which provides All Saints a foundation that many other private schools lack. This is especially true in the openness of Episcopal schools to have religiously diverse students and faculty. Historically of primary concern in Episcopal Schools are excellence in education and the development of character, virtue, and honor. View full school
