🍔☀️ Mrs. Johnson’s Foods 2 class wrapped up their breads unit with some delicious homemade hamburger buns!
To celebrate all their hard work, students took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed outside to grill burgers to enjoy on their freshly made buns. What a fun (and tasty!) way to finish the unit while putting their skills to work.
Great job, Foods 2 students! 💜🐾 #PantherPride
Mrs. Stingley’s Spanish 4 class recently put their language skills to the test with a fun “Show & Tell” activity... entirely in Spanish!
Students were challenged to bring in three items to describe in Spanish while their classmates practiced their speaking skills by asking at least three questions in Spanish about each item. It was a great way to build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and make learning interactive and fun!
The students did a wonderful job, and we wanted to share a few pictures from their presentations.
Bonus cuteness alert: 🐹 Carly Girdeen even brought in her guinea pig, Moose, to be part of the fun!

EHS had the joy of celebrating our Youth Apprenticeship (YA) students who successfully completed their YA programs! Students were recognized with their official Certificates of Completion from CESA 11, honoring their hard work, dedication, and the valuable real-world experience they gained through their apprenticeships.
As they prepare for their next steps beyond high school, each student was also gifted an item of their choice to help support their future career pathway. 💼✨
A special thank you to our high school mentors who supported, guided, and encouraged these students throughout their journey. Your mentorship played an important role in their success, and we are so grateful for the impact you’ve made.
We are incredibly proud of all of our YA completers, including those who were unable to attend the ceremony, and we can’t wait to see where their future career paths take them next.
💜 Congratulations to our EHS YA students! Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾

💜🐾 Panther Pride Staff Shout Outs 🐾💜
Today’s shout out is for Alyssa Matzek!
“Alyssa is a tremendous teammate. She is extremely passionate about her students and truly a top-notch teacher in our district. She is ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond, especially when it comes to supporting students.
She wears many hats that help support staff and create amazing experiences for students. These include Senior Class Advisor, Student Council Advisor, leader of Homecoming Week, valued member of the Building Leadership Team, Graduation Ceremony Coordinator, and so much more from organizing staff potlucks to holiday festivities.
She is very much a fountain when it’s easy to be a drain, and we are so lucky to have her on our team. ECSD is a better place because of Alyssa!”
Thank you, Alyssa, for your energy, leadership, and all the ways you go the extra mile for students and staff. Your impact is felt across the entire district! 💜
