Furthering a Legacy of Distinction

Episcopal High School has achieved so much in so little time – we are highly recognized for our academics, athletics and arts programs, and we are sending students into the world eager to be global citizens and lifetime learners.

Dale Regan, Head of School

To continue this mission of "developing the doers of good and leaders of mankind," we must provide essential environments for idea exchange and the expansion of learning. We are proud of the growth of our idyllic riverfront campuses over the past 43 years, yet we are outgrowing our collection of classrooms, which were constructed in the early years of our founding.

In 2007, Episcopal unveiled a vision for campus expansion and advancement, and the first step of that plan included the addition of two academic halls. On January 6, 2011, Epiphany, Episcopal held dedication ceremonies for these two new academic halls, named for the Lastinger family and the late Rev. Dr. Bob Parks, that will enable the most innovative teaching methods in the region. These mirroring halls provide nearly 13,000 square feet of additional classroom space. Separated by a picturesque, 8,000-square-foot courtyard, the structures feature 12, 900 square foot classrooms – double the size of the current classrooms – and incorporate the most up to date teaching technology available. Situated at the edges of the towering Great Oak, these academic halls provide an ideal educational setting. Through this critical next step, we will continue to offer valuable working space for our faculty, provide a one-of-a-kind vehicle for continued excellence in academia, and foster school community.

On January 6, Episcopal was proud to announce that the campaign goal of $4 million had been met, and the buildings were completed on time and on budget. The School will not close the campaign yet, however, knowing that others may yet still want to make a contribution to building the future of Episcopal High School.
