Diversity, Community and Inclusion
The community of Episcopal High School is its greatest strength. By mission, EHS is committed to the principles of community and inclusion, understanding that we as a community are strengthened by the lively exchange of ideas among individuals of different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. Our celebration of and respect for individual differences makes us a stronger community.


"Community and inclusion to me is the establishment of a welcoming group of diverse individuals, whether it be by race, socioeconomic status, interests, etc., and the embracing of each and every person's differences. At EHS, we are encouraged to explore and develop our differences in a safe, nurturing environment while learning about and respecting the unique qualities of others."
-Arissa J. '22

"To me, community and inclusion at EHS means being able to share your cultural and religious traditions with others without the fear of being judged. Being able to come together and celebrate our differences rather than let them divide us is extremely important in creating a healthy community."
-Karma E. '22

"Community and inclusion is an ongoing battle, but one that we are winning. Every day we change just a little bit of EHS culture to be more educated and accepting, which is something we should be proud of and keep going at until everyone at EHS is and feels welcome and included."
-Ethan M. '20

"Inclusion and community at EHS means power. It means bringing new ideas to a group that is all striving to get the best out of each other. It means having people from different backgrounds and ethnicities all come together to achieve greatness."
-Shelby T. '20

"To me, community and inclusion at EHS is the ability to feel comfortable amongst anyone at the school, despite any differences. Students around campus embody this by making and maintaining meaningful friendships with people of varying backgrounds."
