Taking a trip through Array City at EPES!

If you look closely at our student-made skyline, you’ll see some familiar local favorites! Our students used real-world inspiration to practice their multiplication (Rows x Columns = Total Windows). We love seeing our kids connect their classroom lessons to the world around them here in East Palestine.

Our latest Learn to Teach – Teach to Learn workshop was a delicious success! Our students took a deep dive into the art of making handmade gnocchi!

The best part? Once they mastered the technique, they were able to share their creations with family. It’s one thing to follow a recipe, but it’s another to have fun while doing it!

We can't wait to see what's next on the calendar for this fantastic program!

Today, some of our EPHS students stepped into the future during Huntington Bank Reality Days!

Students were challenged with real-life scenarios, from managing monthly salaries to navigating unexpected expenses. By working through these budgets, they gained a much better understanding of fiscal responsibility and what it takes to balance life’s "price tag."

A huge THANK YOU to Huntington Bank for investing your time and expertise into our students. We appreciate you helping our Bulldogs prepare for a bright (and balanced!) financial future.

SURPRISE!

We are incredibly proud of our EPHS Robotics team! We wanted to share a glimpse into the action so you can see exactly how Reece, Austin, and Lydia are out-maneuvering the competition.

With a current rank of 3rd out of 29 in Columbiana County and 4th out of 51 in Mahoning, these three have earned their spot among the best!

Wish them luck as they compete at the CCCTC State Qualifier on Valentine’s Day!

Our 6th graders are bringing Ancient Egypt to life in the most exciting way!
Today, Mrs. Peterson helped them transform into junior Egyptologists, learning the intricate process of mummification by preserving hot dogs!
This hands-on experiment isn't just fun – it’s a brilliant way to explore Ohio Learning Standards in Social Studies, helping students understand ancient Egyptian culture, scientific innovation, and their unique beliefs about the afterlife.

Stay tuned for updates on our mummified hot dogs' progress!
