I never thought that I would enjoy a school so much. EHS has become my home and I am glad to be apart of this thriving community!

Make sure you go and look at all the schools you are thinking about. While Episcopal has a beautiful campus, it caters to the elite. If your child is not an "A" student with sights set on Ivy League, then run. Students are left unsupervised almost every weekend. They have a strong honor code, but no...
