To celebrate the end of Right to Read Week, some of our students had the chance to read uniquely. It's the Great American Camp Out here at EPES!
A tent, a "fire," and a good book - does it get any better?

One of our favorite days of the year is Gardening Day with Threshold Residential Services! Each year, we take our 5th-grade students on a fun adventure to the Sensory Garden, where they help prepare and plant for the new season. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to work together for our community!

Huge shoutout to 4th-graders Layne, Henry, Amelia, Vayda, and Lilly! They participated in the Eastern Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics (EOCTM) TAPs Math Competition (Teams Approach to Problem Solving), joining 967 students from 12 districts.

Together, they tackled 4 rounds and 20 tough problems using incredible teamwork, communication, and perseverance—and had a great time doing it! Way to go, Bulldogs!

The donations have officially been handed over to the Columbiana County Humane Society—great job, EPES! To add some perspective, the Principal's Advisory Council (PAC) had the opportunity to meet Ferdinand, who will benefit from these donations.
He is actually looking for a forever home, so please reach out to the Humane Society if you're interested in meeting this big guy!

Big steps for our littlest Bulldogs! 🐾

To help make the transition to next year smooth and exciting, our preschoolers recently participated in their screenings and visited the kindergarten classrooms. They had the opportunity to explore and meet some friendly faces.

We are so proud of their eagerness to learn and grow, and we can’t wait to officially welcome the Class of 2039 this fall!

Unique experiences and opportunities—that is exactly what we strive to give our students!

Mrs. Sansenbaugher recently took her Environmental Science, Chemistry, Physics, and STEM classes for an incredible, hands-on learning experience at the Beaver Valley Power Station. Seeing real-world science in action right in our region is an unforgettable way to spark the next generation of innovators.

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.
