A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Southern Local School District and their Girls Volleyball Team for cheering on our Bulldogs last night during our tournament game against Campbell.

In a world of competition, it truly means the world when a rival goes above and beyond to show support and passion for the game. You are all a wonderful example to student-athletes everywhere! True class acts!

October is National Principals Month!
In recognition of the dedicated leaders who invest so much in our students, teachers, and schools, we’d like to help you get to know them.

Our elementary students were filled with joy today, thanks to the EP Bulldog PTO! They had the opportunity to enjoy a hayride and visit the pumpkin patch, where they each took home a special pumpkin of their own.
Thank you PTO!

Our 8th-grade STEM class enhanced their solar energy unit with a sweet treat: solar-oven s'mores!
Students put science into action by building and optimizing their own solar ovens. This hands-on project required them to apply real-world principles of insulation and energy capture to cook their treats using only the sun's power.
This lesson is a fantastic example of how our STEM curriculum uses experiential learning to make science engaging and, in this case, quite delicious!

Who doesn't love a good game of charades? Mrs. Moeller's 6th grade ELA classes took the opportunity to act out various character traits to go along with their lesson on characterization. We love interactive lessons!

Annually, our 8th-grade students take a trip to explore all that the Columbiana County Career & Technical Center (CCCTC) has to offer. This essential trip allows students to explore the diverse technical and career programs available to them in the coming years. We believe these experiences are vital for helping students make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures.
