The best part of my experience here has been the community I'm apart of. I feel supported not just by my friends but by my teachers and coaches. However, I would like to see the schedule change with school ending as it used to and having lunch by grade so we can be with friends.

Episcopal High School is a great school of experience the four pillars, Academics, Athletics, Arts, and Religion. I believe that there are equal opportunities for each of these. The best part is the relationships you make with others.

my experience at episcopal has been very positive so far. the teachers and administrators give us many good resources and set us up for success. the worst part is probably the fact that tutorials are before or after some of my hard classes, so i cannot always ask questions to my teachers after school
