Updates for Monday's EPMS 8th Grade Volleyball match vs Wellsville:
The match will now be played in the High School Gym (5:30 start time) and will be a Pink Out Themed Night!
Wear pink to show your support!

We are excited to share some wonderful news from our EPHS Performing Arts Department! Thanks to the generosity of a member of our community, our students have received a full drum set. This donation will greatly enhance our already talented percussion section and provide new opportunities for our musicians.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the donor for this thoughtful contribution!

*Learn to Teach ~ Teach to Learn* Next week, learn to make a keychain fabric wristlet. And check out the future Fall events planned. EPMS students sign up at school. Adults please call 330-426-9451

What a great week for our students! Our EPMS 7th-grade students and several EPHS students had the opportunity to explore future careers and learn hands-on skills at the 2025 Mahoning Valley Skilled Trades Expo. We were incredibly impressed by their curiosity and how well they represented the East Palestine School District. Way to go Bulldogs!!

8th Grade will start at 5:30 p.m. Go Bulldogs!

Reminder! Tonight is First Responders Night at Reid Memorial Stadium. We welcome all first responders to join us for pre-game events starting at 6:45 PM.

Today, on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, the East Palestine School District honors the memory of those we lost. We remember the heroes who selflessly responded and the countless acts of courage and kindness that emerged from the tragedy.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the importance of community, resilience, and compassion. These are the values we strive to instill in our students every day.

Always Remember.

When your student is feeling under the weather, it can be tough to know what to do. Check out Akron Children's infographic to help you decide if it's best for your student to stay home and rest....and when they are ready to go back to school!

This Friday (9/12), we invite all area First Responders to gather for a special combined pregame performance by the East Palestine and Lisbon bands. It is our time to honor and thank you for your service!
Please meet at the home sideline/track at 6:45 p.m.

It's time to put the 5th-grade band together!

EPYSA is currently accepting sign-ups for Coed Flag Football. Students in PreK-6th Grade can register at www.epyouthsports.com
Sign up before 9/13/25!

Missing a day of school is typically inevitable for most students.
We understand!
But when they do have to miss, make the call.....then send a note!

There's a lot going on with the EP Bulldog Band - add all of these upcoming dates to your calendar today!

What a fantastic first week back! The energy in our halls and classrooms was amazing, and it was so great to see all of our students again. We're off to an incredible start!

Just a reminder, there will be no school on Friday, August 29th, and Monday, September 1st. Enjoy the long weekend!

We'll see everyone back on Tuesday, September 2nd. Go Bulldogs!

Check out this event taking place on September 13th at the Columbiana County Fairgrounds!
