What a great week for our students! Our EPMS 7th-grade students and several EPHS students had the opportunity to explore future careers and learn hands-on skills at the 2025 Mahoning Valley Skilled Trades Expo. We were incredibly impressed by their curiosity and how well they represented the East Palestine School District. Way to go Bulldogs!!

The EPMS volleyball games this evening (9/17) have been adjusted to an 8th-grade-only match at home against Southern Local.
8th Grade will start at 5:30 p.m. Go Bulldogs!

What a treat it was to host our Goodies with Grandparents event this morning! We absolutely loved seeing all of our East Palestine Preschool students share hugs, smiles, and some sweet treats with their wonderful grandparents.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this lovely Preschool event and made it a day to remember for our littlest Bulldogs!

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.

We believe that great behavior deserves to be celebrated! That's why we're so proud to announce our new Top Dawg program at EPES, designed to highlight the students who are making our school a better place.

Every day, one student at EPES will be named our Top Dawg for following our Bulldog Rules and earning a Pawsitive Action Slip that shows exemplary actions or behavior. This isn't just about winning a trip to the book vending machine—it's about fostering a positive and supportive school community, one paw-sitive action at a time!

A new course at EPHS has been established to develop leadership skills and provide students with a fully immersive experience in local projects in East Palestine.

The course is called Project EP.

Students had the opportunity to receive insights and guidance from Village Manager Antonio Diaz-Guy and Village Council member Barb Herriott. We love this collaboration!

Attention, 2025 Graduates! Your yearbooks are ready for pickup. Please visit the EPHS Office to collect your copy, or you can have someone else pick it up for you with their signature.

When your student is feeling under the weather, it can be tough to know what to do. Check out Akron Children's infographic to help you decide if it's best for your student to stay home and rest....and when they are ready to go back to school!

This Friday (9/12), we invite all area First Responders to gather for a special combined pregame performance by the East Palestine and Lisbon bands. It is our time to honor and thank you for your service!
Please meet at the home sideline/track at 6:45 p.m.

It's time to put the 5th-grade band together!
