The Episcopal Football Program consists of a Middle School team, a Junior Varsity team, and a Varsity team. The teams play games on Pajcic-Hunt Field at Jangro Stadium. The Varsity Football team finished the 2022 season with a 8-3 record and qualified for the state playoffs. The football team has advanced to the state playoffs in each of the last four seasons. The football program strives to instill a strong work ethic in the players and make Friday nights memorable for the entire Episcopal community.
