Today, we honor the brave and remember the fallen.
Ahead of Memorial Day, EPHS Juniors received a special visit from Randall Tebay with the East Palestine American Legion Post 31. Our students learned about the history of the day and were given flags to carry forward the tradition of remembrance.

Thank you to the American Legion for inspiring our Bulldogs to honor those who served.

Due to the current weather conditions & forecast, the 140th Annual Commencement Ceremony for the EPHS Class of 2026 will be moved indoors this evening.

While we'd prefer to celebrate outside, we made this decision with the best interests, comfort, and safety of our graduates and guests in mind. Let’s come together to make this an unforgettable celebration for our seniors!

Here is what you need to know for this evening:
Main Ceremony (Auditorium): Admission to the EPHS Auditorium is strictly limited to ticket holders only. Please ensure you have your tickets ready at the door.

Live Stream Viewing (Gymnasium): To accommodate our extended Bulldog family and guests without tickets, the entire ceremony will be live-streamed on the big screen in the EPHS Gymnasium. Gym doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Thank you for your flexibility, understanding, and continued support of the incredible Class of 2026. See you tonight to celebrate our grads!

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.
