Episcopal High School’s mission statement drives the diversity initiatives of the Deans of Multicultural Affairs. Episcopal High School’s mission states:
Founded on a tradition of honor and the pursuit of self-discovery, Episcopal High School engages students in a challenging college preparatory education.
The School fosters empathy and responsibility for self and others through a commitment to spiritual inquiry and growth in a fully residential community. Students are encouraged to think creatively, work collaboratively, develop individual passions, and celebrate the talents of others.
Sharing diverse life experiences, ideas, and values, students learn humility, resilience, and mutual respect. Through access to the educational and cultural resources of the nation's capital, students are inspired to understand and embrace a changing world. Together, faculty and students take initiative as informed citizens and environmental stewards.
Episcopal strives to prepare young people to become discerning individuals with the intellectual and moral courage to lead principled lives of leadership and service to others.

Building on this mission, the Office of Multicultural Affairs supports Episcopal High School’s goal of fostering “empathy and responsibility for self and others” among its students and creating an equal and welcoming environment in which the “Sharing [of] diverse life experiences, ideas, and values” becomes the foundation of the Episcopal High School community. By raising the consciousness of diversity issues in every aspect of the community, Episcopal students will draw closer to the school’s goal of becoming “discerning individuals with the intellectual and moral courage to lead principled lives of leadership and service to others.”
