Well, I think we all knew it would happen eventually - we are officially too cool for school! Due to the extreme cold temperatures, the East Palestine School District will be closed tomorrow, January 20th.
Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the cozy day at home!
What makes East Palestine special? Our people.
This past weekend, our community came together to celebrate the latest class of inductees into the Distinguished Hall of Fame—individuals who represent the very best of Bulldog pride, hard work, and dedication.
The celebration kicked off Friday night at center court during the boys' basketball game, where the crowd gave a warm homecoming welcome to our honorees. The festivities continued Saturday with a beautiful Induction Luncheon, where we shared stories of the legacies these legends have built.
Please join us in congratulating the Class of 2026: ⭐ The 2009 4x100m State Champion Team (Dalton Cope, Jeff Farkas, Trevor Patterson, Shane Peterson & Coach Jim Young) ⭐ Alexandra Casi ⭐ Lori Montgomery-Cascio ⭐ Mrs. Elma Sutherin ⭐ Sgt. Robert Wirks ⭐ DJ Yokley
To our inductees: Thank you for showing our students what is possible with Bulldog spirit.
To our community: Thank you for showing up to honor these incredible individuals and making this weekend so memorable.

"Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, East Palestine Schools joins the nation in honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We are committed to fostering an environment where every student is empowered to think critically and act with kindness.
As there is no school today, we encouraged our Bulldogs to use this "day on" to reflect on how they can serve their neighbors and build a brighter future for our community.

DID YOU KNOW? You can grow up to be a competitive Bulldog swimmer!
Our Swim Team is an official high school sport! Young students can start early and build the necessary skills over time to officially compete on the high school roster, just as they would in other youth sporting programs!

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!

Who had more fun at the EPMS Christmas Assembly?
A) The Students
B) The Staff
It was a tie!
From our amazing staff performing some stellar dance moves to the top song the year they graduated (cue the nostalgic cheers!), to the sheer volume of holiday spirit when gifts were awarded to students, to our 8th graders performing their legendary Bulldog version of the 12 Days of Christmas—the energy was non-stop!
We hope everyone has a joyful and restful winter break! Happy Holidays!
