A Tradition of Excellence
The school’s founders in their 1966 planning group document (“The Purple Book”) proposed the school’s goal to be graduating “leaders and doers of good.” Since 1966, Episcopal has lived up to its founding mission of excellence in academics, athletics, fine arts, and servant leadership. The school's Portrait of a Graduate focuses on who, not what, students will become.
