COMMUNITY Spotlight

Lower School students participate in performances, studio art, and music throughout the year. Information will be shared regarding grade level performances or presentations in Chapel.

Middle and Upper School students have the opportunity to participate in a multitude of theater, musical theater, dance, choral, instrumental performances, and photography, studio art and ceramics displays throughout the year. Show and gallery opening information is available in the Insider with ticket information. ESJ students receive entry to one performance of each production at no charge with their student ID. Lower School students verbally confirm their status at the door to receive entry at no cost.

Lower School students are able to compete in five sports in grades 3 - 5. Clinics led by Varsity coaches and players, sports as part of after school activities, and opportunities to compete on the Munnerlyn Campus are all part of the athletic experience at the Lower School level.

Middle and Upper School students have the opportunity to play on multiple levels and teams throughout the school year. More than 60 teams across 19 sports are fielded each year. Students in Middle School benefit from our no cut policy, which ensures all experience the benefits of being part of a team. JV and Varsity sports include tryouts but there is at least one no-cut sport offered each season. Varsity teams travel throughout the state to compete in district, regional, and state competitions.

Upper School students may participate in more than 100 clubs and groups on the Munnerlyn Campus. Opportunities abound to fulfill the 100 required hours of service before Commencement.

Episcopal’s strength as a community is unmatched. As part of our Episcopal identity and the vision of our Founders to be “leaders and doers of good,” the school provides multiple opportunities for students and parents to serve and become involved. Service opportunities abound, from drives for specific items to participation in community events. ESJ uses a customized smartphone app called HelperHelper which grades 9-12 use to track their hours and to view and commit to volunteer opportunities. Ninth grade students will learn the ins and outs of HelperHelper app during Celebrating Service Day and through their advisory. New students in grades 10-12 will also receive HelperHelper instruction through New Student Orientation and in advisory.
