This week to mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11, EPHS government students held a solemn reflection over the school PA system and also wrote dozens of cards of appreciation to EP’s own police and fire. This was their way to honor those first responders who lost their lives on that dark day.




Reminder! Tonight is First Responders Night at Reid Memorial Stadium. We welcome all first responders to join us for pre-game events starting at 6:45 PM.

Tonight's EPHS volleyball matches have been cancelled due to a power outage at the school.

Today, on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, the East Palestine School District honors the memory of those we lost. We remember the heroes who selflessly responded and the countless acts of courage and kindness that emerged from the tragedy.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the importance of community, resilience, and compassion. These are the values we strive to instill in our students every day.
Always Remember.
