Thank you for your generous donations during our Change Challenge! Winners will be announced next week!
Let’s finish the week strong—Bulldogs Wear Blue!
Keep up the great work, Bulldogs!
The EPHS Drama Club will host the One Act Plays this Friday at 6 p.m.
To all of our Veterans, thank you for your courage, your service, and your sacrifice. We are forever grateful!
Your dedication, effort, and commitment to doing your best have truly paid off. We are so proud of you!
Keep up the great work, Bulldogs! Your hard work matters!
The Change Challenge begins tomorrow!
As part of Diabetes Awareness Month, we'll be collecting loose change all week long across the East Palestine School District. Every little bit can make a difference! Let's come together for one community, one color, and one cause.
As they explored color diffusion through a variety of hands-on experiments, they discovered what happens when colors begin to spread and blend together. To wrap up the lesson, they put their creativity to work, designing their very own T-shirts!
With markers in hand, students drew pictures of their choosing and then watched as the colors spread, transforming their designs into completely unique, one-of-a-kind masterpieces. No two shirts were alike, and that's what makes them so special!
When it comes to how district dollars are spent, our classrooms remain a top priority.
66.1% of East Palestine School District funds go toward classroom instruction, ranking our district 85th out of 200 similar districts.
It’s another look at how we are working to keep our focus where it matters most — supporting teaching, learning and the success of our students.
This is a great opportunity to learn, connect and focus on health and wellness.
Congratulations to our fall athletes who received postseason recognition from the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference (EOAC)!

It's never too early to learn the importance of taking pride in our school and community!
Day of the Dead, celebrated in Mexico on November 1 and 2, is a time to remember, honor, and celebrate loved ones who have died. Spanish Club members learned more about the tradition while watching the movie Coco, enjoying palomitas (popcorn) and Jarritos Mexican sodas, and creating some fun crafts!
A meaningful tradition, a little learning and a lot of fun!
One Community. One Color. One Important Cause. 💙
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and East Palestine School District is coming together to show support, spread awareness, and remind those living with diabetes that they are not alone!
Throughout the month, our schools will be participating in several activities to help educate, encourage, and bring our community together. On Friday, November 13, we are asking everyone to WEAR BLUE as we recognize Diabetes Awareness Month.
Here's what's happening:
💙 Wear Blue Day – November 13: Students, staff, and community members are encouraged to wear blue to show their support. T -shirts are available for purchase for $20 and can be worn on November 13. The deadline to order is November 4!
💙 Change Challenge: November 9th - 13th, Elementary classrooms will have collection containers for students who wish to donate loose change. The classroom collecting the most change will earn a pizza party! Middle and high school students will also have opportunities to contribute during their lunch periods and win prizes with some trivia fun!
💙 Diabetes Education: Akron Children's Hospital will be visiting the middle school and high school cafeterias during lunch periods on November 13 to share information and educate students about diabetes.
💙 You Are Not Alone Banner: Students at the middle and high schools will have an opportunity to add positive messages of encouragement and support to a special banner displayed in the cafeteria.
💙 Awareness on Display: Positive messages of support and facts about diabetes will also be shared on the middle and high school televisions.
💙 Support Through Creativity: Elementary students will color special Diabetes Awareness Month pages that will be displayed on cafeteria windows and throughout local businesses.
Whether you wear blue, share an encouraging message, answer a trivia question, learn something new, or make a donation, every small act helps make a difference.
Let's come together, Bulldog Nation, to spread awareness, encourage understanding, and remind everyone that no one has to face diabetes alone!
Get out and support the EPHS Student Council on Tuesday, November 3rd at 5 p.m. for Powderpuff Football!
Admission is $5 at the gate!
Throughout her years of dedication, Mrs. Ross served as Assistant to the Treasurer and at one time was a member of the East Palestine Board of Education. Her commitment to our district extended well beyond one role, and her contributions have helped shape our schools and community over the years.
Thank you, Mrs. Ross, for more than three decades of dedication, hard work, and service to East Palestine. Your presence will certainly be missed, but we wish you nothing but happiness as you begin this well-deserved next chapter. Enjoy retirement!
