Happy School Nurse Day! Today, we recognize our amazing nurses for the vital role they play in our district. From managing medical needs to being a trusted face for students in need of a little extra care, they are essential members of our Bulldog family. Thank you for all that you do!
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!

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

It’s one thing to learn about government in a textbook; it’s another to see it in action! Thirty of our EPMS Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Club students recently traded the classroom for the halls of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
From exploring the historic rotunda to learning about the legislative process, our members got an up-close look at how leaders shape the future of our state. It was an inspiring day of discovery, critical thinking, and civic engagement.
We are so proud of these bright minds for their curiosity and for representing our school with such excellence!

Today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to give a massive shout-out to the incredible team that keeps our students moving every single day. From the first "good morning" to the final drop-off in the afternoon, our drivers are the heartbeat of the East Palestine City School District. They navigate every turn and every Ohio weather shift with one priority: keeping our Bulldogs safe and sound!
Please join us in celebrating these essential members of our school family by giving them a big wave at the bus stop or sharing a thank-you note. You can also drop a comment below to give a special shout-out to the driver who makes your student's day a little brighter. We truly have the best crew behind the wheel, and we are so grateful for their dedication and care!

We hope it is a magical, memory-filled day for our students attending Prom!
Auditorium doors open at 5:00 to witness the beauty!
It's Prom Day!
But before the big day arrived, we focused on what mattered most: getting our students home safely.
We were honored to host The Safe Mobility Project via Akron Children’s Hospital. Our students engaged in vital simulations and discussions regarding safe driving practices, reinforcing the importance of staying focused behind the wheel during Prom season and beyond.
Let’s make this a night to remember for all the right reasons!

Law Day! Honors Government students had the opportunity to go to the Columbiana Court of Common Pleas to witness the judiciary in real life. Students saw a police dog demonstration, sat in on an actual criminal sentencing, and were able to ask questions and interact with the judges, magistrates, police officers, and attorneys.
What an incredible opportunity for our Bulldogs!
Our Bulldogs had an incredible time at the Youngstown State University English Festival this week!

We are also incredibly proud that some of our EPHS students were award winners this year!
Izzy Jones - 2nd Place Team, Connections
Kara Lewis - Honorable Mention, Journalism Workshop
Kristina Huffman - Honorable Mention, Impromptu Essay
Marley Haldiman - Honorable Mention, Writing Games

This afternoon, we’re hosting our annual Prom Mock Crash to educate our students on the importance of staying drug and alcohol-free. It is a sobering, live demonstration designed to show our students the real-world consequences of impaired driving. We are incredibly grateful to the East Palestine Fire Department, local EMTs, and our Police Department for volunteering their time to create this life-saving educational tool. Let’s work together to make this a safe and memorable prom season!
We are thrilled to share that our very own EPHS School Counselor, Mrs. Randolph, was selected as one of only 15 counselors to serve on the University of Akron’s Director's Council.
Mrs. Randolph spent time providing valuable feedback to the University Admissions Team and even caught up with UA President Nemer! The visit wrapped up with some networking (and a little fun) at an Akron RubberDucks game. We love seeing our staff representing our district at the collegiate level!

Our littlest Bulldogs were hard at work today, making a big difference! Our preschool students celebrated Earth Day by heading outside for an exciting nature scavenger hunt and a little community clean-up.
To top off the day, they officially released their butterflies into the wild! It was the perfect way to learn about taking care of our planet and the beautiful creatures we share it with!
