Religion
Live a life that matters.
Deep Faith
Unashamedly Christian and undeniably Episcopalian, EHS witnesses to the hope that is in the midst of us, celebrating and giving joyful thanks for the talents, gifts, and graces poured into our diverse community.
Digging, planting, tending, pruning, appreciating the fruits of a bountiful harvest, these are the tools of meaning-making with which we seek to equip our students. As we cultivate love of God and neighbor and train and shape our attention, we answer God’s call to us to tend his garden.
“Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” The Golden Rule does more than simply set a high bar for the quality of our care for others. Through intentional acts of service and reflection, we hone our abilities to both love and be loved.
Our faith stands out in all that we do at EHS. WHERE WILL YOUR FAITH LEAD YOU?

Benitez Chapel
Named for our founding Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Maurice M. Benitez, the Benitez Chapel is home to our daily chapel. In worship, we look to God and find meaning, purpose and value in ourselves and others. We go to chapel every day. It is the one time each day when all of our Episcopal High School family is together. Students and faculty experience chapel as an oasis of reflection and calm in the midst of our busy campus life. In community, we find strength and encouragement. In chapel, we who are many become one before God. The Benitez Chapel is the beating heart of our community.
Religion Classrooms
The Religion Department holds its classes–Old Testament, New Testament, World Religions, The History of Christianity, and Ethics–mostly on the first floor of the Brown Learning and Resource Center.
