E.H.S Journey

With the start of November, coursework is becoming more progressive and more rigorous. Students have started getting involved in school activities and are developing classroom connections with their peers. Staff and students are participating in fun events such as our Halloween costume contest, Trunk or Treat, and the student section Pioneer Pack at sporting events. Many music and theater performances are occurring and connections with the community and other district schools are happening. The high school business and energy is alive and well. As a high school partner, please continue to encourage your child to seek out help when needed, explore all the things the high school has to offer, and find connections both with students and staff. Thank you for all you do to help make your child's experience a success.
