As the sun rose over the tree line, the Class of 2026 gathered at Reid Memorial Stadium to soak in the view and share a few more laughs. With graduation just around the corner, this Senior Sunrise has become a special way for our Bulldogs to pause and reflect before the big day. We hope this gathering stays with them as a favorite memory long after they’ve moved on from the halls of EPHS.

Our 2nd-grade stars took center stage last week for their Red Carpet Publishing Party with the guidance of Mrs. Figley, Mrs. Prentice, Mrs. Rutledge and Mrs. Sobinovsky!

After weeks of hard work—carefully writing, editing, and revising—these talented students officially became published authors. These amazing Bulldogs debuted their printed books and shared them with a packed house of family and friends.

Seeing their creativity come to life in print is a huge milestone, and we couldn't be prouder of the dedication and growth these young writers have shown throughout this project. It was a true celebration of their hard work!

Join us in congratulating our newest published authors!

Hard work pays off! Nearly 100 of our EPHS students headed out to Kennywood for a day of fun and celebration.

This trip was a special incentive through our PBIS program, rewarding students who consistently demonstrated positive behavior and character throughout the school year. We wanted to go big to celebrate their dedication to making our school a better place! A huge shoutout to these students for being such great examples of what we stand for. We hope you had the best time—you earned it!

Not even a rainy morning could stop our community! A huge thank you to the over 114 volunteers who showed up today for our annual Dog Days event. Despite the weather, there were volunteers all over town tackling beautification projects with incredible energy. It was a perfect display of Bulldog Pride in action, and these pictures only show a small portion of the work! Thank you!!

We couldn’t be prouder of our EPHS students who exercised their right to vote for the very first time yesterday!
While several of our 18-year-old seniors cast their ballots, we also had a very special group of civic leaders step up: three of our 17-year-old juniors voted!

In Ohio, if you turn 18 by the November general election, you are eligible to vote in the primary—and our students took that responsibility seriously. Join us in celebrating these students for their leadership, their citizenship, and for making sure their voices were heard. Way to go, Bulldogs!

A great teacher’s influence never actually stops. If there’s an educator helping your child find their "spark," help them get the recognition they deserve.

Through the OEA Thank a Teacher program, your nomination puts them in the running for some great prizes.
It’s a simple way to give back to those who give so much!

Nominate your favorite educator here by May 10th: https://www.ohea.org/thankateacher/
