It's National School Counseling Week!

The students in the EPMS GATE (Gifted and Talented Enrichment) Program had an exciting fun-filled day! They started with a comprehensive tour of WKBN /WYTV Studios, where they learned how the news station operates from start to finish each day. They were also fortunate to visit The Butler Institute of American Art, allowing them to appreciate the priceless works housed in this treasured local gem.

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!

Our Senior Class hosted two dances last week for our middle school students.
Thank you to the Seniors who worked so hard to make the events amazing for their fellow Bulldogs!
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.
