112 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com With over one hundred years of legacy and tradition, it is no wonder that Bishop England High School continues to lead the way in the tri-county area. This prestigious academic haven on Daniel Island was named for Bishop John England and carries on his legacy today. England believed in providing Catholic education for all people regardless of their status or social standing. He was known to provide education to women, freed blacks and enslaved people. As the demand continues to grow, Bishop England strives to continue this legacy. The rigorous academic program includes college preparatory courses that prepare students for success postgraduation. While academics are the primary focus, Bishop England also offers a nationally-recognized athletic program that has seen players take home 169 state titles over the years. Many players move on to play college athletics as well. The fine arts program is robust and gives students the opportunity to grow creatively. Strategic planning efforts are underway to expand the school to include a new double auxiliary gym, cafeteria, and sports pavilion. As the demand for Catholic education has continued to rise, Bishop England is committed to growing to meet the need. The community at the school is not only supportive of its students in becoming the people of God they are called to be, but they also support their faculty and staff. The school has committed to matching Charleston County School District salaries, as well as offering paid parental leave as part of their continued commitment to recruiting and retaining top-quality teachers. The Bishop England community operates as a family and is proud of its centurylong legacy in the Charleston area.
