Parish Episcopal first graders made their annual visit to SMU's noted Meadows Museum. The trip is a favorite for students who see some of the world's great works of art. The students are learning to communicate thoughts and ideas through a variety of methods and the experiential education at the Meadows helps the visualization process. The Meadows Museum is one of Dallas' top attractions dedicated to the understanding and interpretation of art.

Parish partners with SMU in multiple forums. Dave Monaco, Allen Meyer Family Head of School, is on the advisory board of SMU's Department of Education Policy and Leadership in the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education. Parish's Upper School students are taking part in SMU's TEDXSMU and TEDxKids.
