Religion Department

At each grade level, students at EHS undertake a one-semester Religion class. The four-year curriculum takes students through an intellectually challenging study of the Old and New Testaments, World Religions, the History of Western Culture and Belief, and Ethics. We strive for scriptural literacy, an understanding of our own faith traditions as well as those of our neighbors, and a framework for ethical decision-making. We ask big questions. We explore our understanding of God. We think about the ways faith has shaped the world over time – and now, for ourselves and others.
