It's a week to express our appreciation for the individuals who consistently show care and compassion for our students, helping each one thrive.
It's National School Counseling Week!

Are you facing a housing crisis? Here's who you can contact.
We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Dillon Gorby to our Bulldog Team!
Dr. Gorby brings a wealth of experience as an athletic trainer, having worked in high school, collegiate, and professional sports settings. He has a professional interest in sports management and rehabilitation, return-to-sport testing, and concussion training. He is currently a full-time Physical Therapist for Southwoods Health and will also be working with our athletes here in EP!
This time of year, we know students have an increased chance of latching on to the germs that viciously circulate. Staying at home to recover is part of the process.
But if your student is absent, give the school office a quick call! Communication is key!

Aligning schedules can be challenging! We attempted to organize a 2025 Bulldog Alumni Basketball Game, but due to a lack of available participants, we unfortunately have to cancel the event for now.
However, we are excited to invite our wonderful Bulldog fans to the EPHS Gym for the *Winter Meet the Team* event on Saturday, February 1st, at 4:30 p.m. Join us to celebrate our winter athletes and then stay to cheer on the Boys' Basketball teams as they take on the Southern Local Indians starting at 5:30 p.m.

Welcome to Week 3 of the "Bulldog Safety Zone." Recent studies show a significant increase in vaping among teenagers, raising concerns about the long-term effects of nicotine exposure on developing brains. To discourage and deter our students from vaping, detectors have been installed throughout our buildings. If necessary, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the Student Handbook regarding any student found to be in possession of a vape.
We know you probably don’t need a reminder, but we wanted to share this just in case!
It will be a "whole new world" here in East Palestine when the Drama Club's 2025 Spring Production of Aladdin Jr. comes to town on March 14-16!

Come out and support our Bulldogs at home during the triple-header against Wellsville tomorrow night! Let’s fill the stands!
Welcome to Week 2 of the "Bulldog Safety Zone."
We have implemented a new Visitor Management System at all four office entrances: Preschool, Elementary, Middle, and High School. How does it work? Upon entering the buildings, all visitors & contractors will utilize a kiosk to enter their information and must scan a government-issued identification (I.D. or driver’s license). A badge will then be printed and is to be worn as a form of proper identification while on our campus.
Due to the threat of inclement weather this evening, the Varsity Boy's game at Southern Local (1/10/25), has been canceled.
A make-up date will be announced next week - stay tuned!
A lot is going on within the East Palestine Performing Art Department!
During winter break, our district installed additional safety equipment and introduced new comprehensive safety measures in every building. Over the next four weeks, we will share updates about these improvements. Are you ready to learn more?
Welcome to Week 1 of the "Bulldog Safety Zone"
We have installed additional security cameras, which have increased our coverage and visibility throughout each building.

We are excited to tell our Bulldog families that the East Palestine School District will be closed on Tuesday, February 18th, extending the already scheduled long weekend that includes Parent-Teacher Conferences and Presidents' Day.
