Hey there EPHS, get ready for Club and Organization Picture Day on March 26th!

Every year, our elementary students take on the challenge of raising funds for the American Heart Association (AHA) while also adopting healthy habits in their daily lives. This year was no different, as they raised an impressive $4,341.55 for the AHA!

Let's celebrate Officer Brindisi - it's School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!
We're lucky to have him!

Mr. Geiss is expanding the minds of our 2nd-grade students through the use of Ozobots and the introduction of color codes. This educational initiative is funded by a grant he received from Battelle and the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN), which aims to promote the development of sustainable STEM education programs in classrooms.
Great things are happening here in EP Schools!
