Community service at Episcopal High School

Episcopal High School is committed to increasing students' service to others. To achieve this goal, Upper and Middle School students are required to complete a specified number of community-service hours. To fulfill this requirement, Middle School students participate in class projects, while Upper School students participate in service projects in the community as well as on campus. The director of community service is available not only to help students plan an individual strategy for completing volunteer hours, but also to implement the School's Upward Eagles programs, which include Young Wings, New Horizons and Safe Nest. The Young Wings program partners Episcopal student tutors with public elementary-school students needing an academic boost. New Horizons helps to identify and support highly talented students who could benefit from an Episcopal education, but who need financial assistance and/or pre-enrollment academic bolstering. Safe Nest is a school-wide heightening of awareness to ensure that our campus is a sensitive and welcoming place for students of diverse backgrounds.

Mentor opportunity- The Community Service, Alumni and College Counseling Offices are asking adults in the community if they would be willing to help guide/mentor one or more member of the class of 2009 for a day, a week, or two weeks in August 2008. Participants must complete an application process, and will be matched appropriately with their fields of interest and approved by the guide/mentor. If you’d like to volunteer to give back to Episcopal High School, and to help a student from the class of 2009, please complete this form.
