Focusing on these four pillars, the school aims to help students unleash their inner genius and stand out from the crowd.
Over 650 students at Episcopal High School Knights and their teachers begin each school day with a chapel service. As part of the Religion pillar, students take religion courses and perform community service. Service-minded students can apply to the year-long Service Achievement Program which includes servant leadership, learning and teaching.
Academically, Episcopal High School prepares students for college with a rigorous curriculum that offers 46 Advanced Placement and Honors classes. Science scholars can use the labs in the Jack T. Trotter building. In addition, language options include French, Spanish, Chinese and Latin.
The school also shines in the athletic realm. Sports include football, cross-country, lacrosse, golf and swimming. Several of the alumni are well-known football players.
