A Second Family
Episcopal Advisors are Guides, Supporters, and Friends.
Officially, advisors help students select classes and explore the opportunities Episcopal has to offer. Informally, they become like family to both students and parents. Advisors care about connecting, and students know they can turn to them for advice and support.
In ninth grade, advisee groups are organized by gender and class, while in grades 10 through 12, they are mixed by gender and grade level. Advisors maintain regular communication with parents regarding students' academic progress, extracurricular activities, and overall experiences at EHS.
Episcopal's advisory system is integral to the EHS experience and helps bridge the gap between hometowns and a student's life at Episcopal.
Building Connections
How Advisors Make EHS Feel Like Home
Advisors attend advisees’ games and performances, open their homes for meals and marshmallow roasts, and meet with students daily over meals and in chapel. Episcopal’s advisory program strengthens students’ connections to the Episcopal community, making their high school experience truly feel like a second home. Advisors value the importance of their partnership with parents and are a vitally important point of contact for families.
