[quote=Anonymous][quote]Only because they skew southern and that’s been their focus. That could change. As PP proposes, they could, and tbh should, switch it up. Lax will bring them better students, more prestige and more money. It’d be a smart move.[/quote]

Whatever Episcopal has been doing, is clearly working from a money standpoint. No school in the DC area comes even close to Episocpal's endowment which is over $300M.

Whether or not Episcopal's wants to change its DNA and adopt more of the traditional New England boarding school mentality remains to be seen. Episcopal has always been viewed as a southern school, it draws the majority of its students from VA (and not northern VA), NC, SC, GA and even Texas.

I know someone pointed it out that EHS prides itself on its football heritage (they and Woodberry have their oldest longest football rivarly in the South), Episcopal's football program is just above average for the greater DC area. In some years, EHS will really ramp up their football recruiting but they tend to follow suit on what their chief rival, Woodberry Forest, is doing. If Woodberry begins to ramp up their football operations, Episcopal will do the same. Right now, both schools have taken the foot off the gas.

As it relates to lacrosse, Episcopal could easily recruit talented lacrosse players from GA, NC, and Texas who want to play high-caliber lacrosse and desire boarding. Based on their current approach, they really haven't done any aggressive recruiting. But if they did, they could get good very quickly.
