Expectations for Graduates

Epiphany expects its graduates to contribute intellectually, morally, and actively to society. Epiphany works to ensure that students receive excellent classroom teaching, individualized attention, and instruction in community responsibility that remain with them for life. In return, Epiphany asks the following of its graduates:

• That they, having learned what it means to work to their potential, will continue to do so and will commit to active learning for the rest of their lives
• That they, as people who know right from wrong, will think about justice, and will see themselves as agents of change
• That they continue to interact with Epiphany by drawing on its resources, sharing their high school report cards, giving to the annual fund, and volunteering. Ultimately, the dream is that some of them will return to the school to teach or assume other leadership positions

Every grade at Epiphany has social and academic benchmarks that students must pass in order to move to the next grade. Our graduates have mastered these. It is our hope that these aforementioned goals: working to one’s potential, working for justice, and serving the school will be the benchmarks for Epiphany graduates out in the world. We must explicitly communicate these benchmarks to our graduates.
