Athletics
The athletic program at Bishop England is among the top in the country. In a 2005 special edition, the Bishop England athletic program was named number one in the state of South Carolina by Sports Illustrated Magazine, regardless of size. Over the last decade, many teams including volleyball, soccer, baseball, tennis, and cross-country/track have won several state championships in a row. The Be a Bishop Backer Club, dubbed "the Triple B Club," funds a staff of on-campus medical trainers for BE athletes.
The volleyball program is particularly dominant, and currently holds the National record for state championships with 23 overall. The team has won every state title since 2000, and their championship win on November 4, 2012 gave the Battling Bishops their 13th consecutive title, a South Carolina record. On December 2, 2011, the football program won its first ever AA state championship. Likewise, on March 3, 2012, the girls' basketball team won its first ever state championship. Football repeated as state champions in 2012, bringing the overall title count to 105, the highest of any South Carolina school. The school has been awarded the SC Athletic Director's Cup for each of the last 12 years, given to the top athletic program in the state. BE is one of four private schools in the state that compete in the SCHSL instead of SCISA . The Bishops compete in the AA division.
Bishop England's biggest rivals in most sports are the Porter-Gaud Cyclones and the Wando High School Warriors. In girls' sports, a heavy rivalry with Ashley Hall also exists.
