Cultural Connections

Episcopal High School has long been an active participant in Washington's cultural scene; students attend plays and concerts, visit the area's numerous museums, and dine in some eclectic restaurants. The addition of the Ainslie Arts Center has made EHS an attractive venue in its own right for local and national artists and musicians.
