2026-2027 New Family Information

Episcopal High School will adopt a new Smart Device and Digital Media Policy in the 2026-2027 school year. Students will be expected to power off and stow away all smart devices for the duration of the academic day. We believe this policy will advance our Mission by providing our students with the gift of presence as they discover and develop their talents and explore what makes a meaningful life in service to others. 

The full policy can be found here: Smart Device and Digital Media Policy

The bell schedule preserves the holistic and student-centered approach that has made Episcopal High School distinctive since its founding. The new schedule introduces several strategic adjustments informed by both our community’s evolving needs and leading research on student learning and wellbeing.

The 2026 - 2027 Bell Schedule can be found here: EHS Bell Schedule

Summer Reading lists will be available later this Spring.  Information will be posted in the New Knight Notes once available.

EHS offers minimal classroom accommodations, such as 50% extended time to complete tests/quizzes, for students with a diagnosed learning disability in reading/writing/math and/or ADHD. Parents or guardians must notify the Director of Academic Assistance of the need for accommodations and submit the appropriate paperwork, including current full psychoeducational evaluation by an EHS approved testing resource, so that an Education Plan can be created.

A student cannot receive accommodations without an Education Plan in place at EHS.

Please contact the Director of Academic Assistance, Landrey Myers, for additional information about this process.

Daily Chapel:

For a general outline of what we do in daily Chapel, see our Chapel Basics sheet, and you may also take a look at our School Hymn. New students interested in getting involved with the Chapel program should contact the Rev. Art Callaham at the start of the school year. Options for involvement your first year include Lectors Guild, Ushers, Altar Guild, and A/V Tech Support. In addition, for each advisory group, we need two Family Chapel Leaders – almost a third of the freshman class. We need you!

Summer Service:

Although not required to do so, students are heartily encouraged to give time in service to those in need over the summer. Keep a record: when and where the service was done and the name and email address of a person at the organization who can verify the service hours. At New Student Orientation in August, students will learn how to login to the Helper Helper app, where they will record any summer service, track their service engagement throughout high school, and sign up to help with service projects organized by our Students of Service organization during the school year. For questions about our service program, please contact Ms. Katie Samson - Director of Service Learning.  For service ideas over the summer months, see our Summer Service Opportunities brochure.

Pastoral Care:

During the school year, if you’d like to be contacted by a chaplain or submit a prayer request, please contact the Rev. Art Callaham. Chaplains offer confidential pastoral care counseling with students, can meet students for prayer, and will visit students in the hospital when requested.

Baptism and Confirmation:

Early in the fall semester, there will be an opportunity for any interested students to sign up for Baptism or Confirmation preparation. Watch for information from The Rev Tori Gilliland.
