To our wonderful students: Thank you for your hard work, your energy, and the passion you brought into our classrooms every single day. You make us proud to be Bulldogs!
To our amazing families: Thank you for your unwavering support, your partnership, and for trusting us with your children. We couldn’t do this without you.
To our dedicated staff: Thank you for going above and beyond to guide, inspire, and care for our students all year long. Your impact is immeasurable.

Yesterday, our auditorium was filled with pride as we hosted two incredible EPMS Awards Ceremonies to honor our students' hard work, dedication, and leadership this year.

From stellar academic achievements to demonstrating outstanding character, these Bulldogs have shown what it truly means to strive for excellence.

To our amazing EPMS students: Your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to grow. To the parents, guardians, and staff who supported them every step of the way—thank you for being the ultimate support system! And specifically to our 8th graders - best of luck next year as you transition to EPHS - you'll do amazing things!!!

It was a beautiful day to be outside at the East Palestine City Park! Today was the final year-end PBIS incentive event for those students at EPMS who earned it.

There’s nothing better than seeing our community spaces filled with the laughter and energy of our excellent students. They’ve done an incredible job modeling positive behavior this year, and today's park day was the perfect reward!

Mrs. Peterson's 6th-grade students engaged in a lesson focused on entrepreneurship and economics. They collaborated in teams to create an original invention or business idea. Afterward, they developed a "Shark Tank" style presentation to try to convince some savvy "sharks" to invest in their businesses. There was a lot of hard work and creativity throughout the process!

Over the past month, Miss Barkett’s 7th-grade students have had a front-row seat to the wonders of nature. They started with tiny little caterpillars and carefully observed them as they went through the incredible process of metamorphosis.
And now.......they have been released into nature!
