📚✏️ Back-to-School is almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome our students and families! 🎒💜
Our Open Houses are just around the corner - check out the details below to see when your child’s school is hosting theirs. It’s a great chance to meet teachers, see classrooms, and get ready for an amazing school year! 🙌
Note: MS/HS students will NOT have access to their lockers.
Dear EHS Students and Families
The recent storms brought some unexpected challenges to our construction progress, and as a result, we need to move our open house back by one week. Instead of Tuesday, August 18th from 4:00-7:30 PM, the open house will now be held on Tuesday, August 26th from 4:00-7:30 PM. We will conduct New Student/ Freshman Orientation Activities during the school day on August 26th.
I know this change may be disappointing, but please know that our goal is to ensure the building is safe and fully ready to welcome you. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this adjustment.
I'm confident that when you do walk through the doors, you'll see the results have been worth the wait. Thank you for your continued support of our school community-we look forward to seeing you on the 26th!
Warmly,
Ms. Marcy Burch
Principal

🩺🧪 Future healthcare heroes in action!
Several EHS students recently attended the CVTC Medical Simulation Camp and it was intense (in the best way)! Over the course of the camp, they:
💉 Learned how to draw blood, start IVs, and perform IOs
🫁 Practiced intubating patients
🚑 Took part in a 2-hour emergency room simulation with real nurses, where their patient coded multiple times
❤️ Got CPR certified
The instructor said this group, which also included two students from Prescott, was amazing. They stayed focused, worked well as a team, and represented EHS proudly!
Oh, and the perks? 😎
🎁 Tons of swag
🎧 A stethoscope
🎓 A $500 scholarship to take a course at CVTC in any field!
We were thrilled to have our new high school principal, Mrs. Burch, there to cheer them on as they received their certificates. She loved seeing what they were up and they were just as excited to meet her! 💜
Big thanks to Mrs. Lesiecki and Ms. Wiskow for chaperoning and snapping some great photos of our students in action.
