In order to optimize the communication to our Bulldog Community, we wanted to provide information on the recent fire alarms that have been triggered within the High School cafeteria. A full assessment was conducted by the State Fire Marshal, along with East Palestine Fire Chief, Keith Drabick, and our kitchen equipment contractors. Incident reports were reviewed, along with a thorough walkthrough of the facility where all equipment was evaluated.
The investigation showed that the District has acted appropriately and according to all state fire codes, and most importantly, in the best interest of the safety of students and staff. Some suggestions were given to make adjustments to various kitchen appliances and they have been implemented. A smoke and heat sensor that is located within the kitchen, requires state approval to replace. This process has been initiated and the District hopes to have this completed in a timely manner.
Happy Halloween Bulldogs!
Be safe on all of your adventures this evening!
Mrs. Hogan's 6th grade science classes conducted a project on Edible Cells.
Update: all phone lines within the East Palestine School District are back up and running as normal. We appreciate your patience and the quick response by our IT team!
Let's make it a great day!
This morning (10/31) the fire alarm within the EPHS kitchen was triggered. It is the same sensor that has been investigated by the appropriate fire department officials. The Fire Chief was dispatched to the building to give an all clear.
Also, at this time all phone lines within the district are not working properly, so you may have issues communicating with the offices. Please use other sources such as Remind, email and Class Dojo to communicate with teachers. We will update once the issue is resolved. We appreciate your patience as we work quickly in this matter!

Who's ready for a fun evening to benefit the EPHS Student Council?
This morning, the East Palestine Fire Department were dispatched to the EPHS Cafeteria after smoke detectors were initiated. They were able to quickly evaluate the situation and give the "all clear" for students to safely enter the building. We are continuing to diligently work on the system which has been causing issues. Thank you for your patience!
This morning (10/21/24), fire crews were dispatched to the high school. All students were held outside at arrival, but are now being allowed to safely enter the buildings.
Under our Friday Night Lights, we were proud to announce the 2024 Fall Homecoming Queen, Morgan Schwartz, who was escorted by Aron McGrath. Our Bulldog Family also named Austin Miller as the honorary 2024 Fall Homecoming King.
