A Variety Of Extra Activities M Teach The Art Of 5 AKING Time For It All After all, the real reason for school, despite what some students believe, is to get a good education. This is precisely what one gets at EHS. With 100% of its graduates enrolling in college, Episcopal fulfills its description as a col-lege preparatory school. Special attention is given to ensure that all students graduate, prepared for the college courses that await them. Thanks to a student-faculty ratio of 12:1, there is a personal atmosphere created between the teachers and students. Teachers are more than ready to stay after class in order to give extra help to someone who needs it. Close contact is also maintained within classes, due to an average of fifteen students per class, with some higher level courses having only three to five students. Great encouragement is given to those students interested in one of the many accelerated programs. This includes honor courses in all areas except social studies, and thirteen different A.P. courses which give seniors the opportunity of placing out of some first-year college courses. However, learning does not end with the 3:15 bell. Students arc encouraged to become involved in extra-curricular activities in order to receive a well-rounded education, not just an academic one. With twenty clubs and nine athletic teams, students are sure to find something of interest. There are various science clubs, language clubs, publication organizations, spirit groups, fine arts clubs. honor societies, and service groups. And, of course, for anyone interested in politics, there arc the Student Council, the Headmaster's Senate, and the newly formed Student Life Council. With so many activities being offered, students are forced to learn the art of making time to keep up with their schoolwork. When asked how they manage, most students respond that they find time either before or after practices and or meetings to catch up on their work. Some students even claim to find time during their other activities. Says cheerleader and Thespian president Rebecca Rainer, I've learned how to manage my time, even if it means staying up late to complete my homework. Mr. Wilkinson Miches as scniui Jeff Drake leads the National Honor Society in singing Christmas carols and handing out cookies.
