Booth Its emphasis on academic excellence and its college preparatory y. curriculum make Episcopal thj|) Choice for Episcopal High is growing in many different directions, but it is especially growing in the area of academic excellence. Episcopal has shown itself to be a truly college-preparatory school. With most classes at or below twenty students, teachers can give their students personal attention. For example, AP Chemistry teacher Larry Wilkinson, if questioned about a certain process or reaction, will often do an impromptu demonstration on the spot. It is this kind of teaching that sets Episcopal apart. The addition of a college counselor, Mike Hallman, has really helped the juniors and seniors in the college application process. Classes are now being offered that prepare students for the standardized tests, such as the SAT, and these classes should help the students to score higher on these important tests. Advanced Placement courses are now offered in every major subject, from chemistry and biology to English and Latin. The new science building has been a tremendous boost to the science department. New courses have been added to the curriculum, covering subjects such as Greek mythology and organic chemistry. Increased academic requirements in composition and computer science have helped students' writing and programming skills. With all of its emphasis on superior performance in the classroom. Episcopal High really is a leader in the educational field. 2 Introduction
