Congratulations to orchestra members Madalyn Lyons and Coleigh White for their outstanding solo performances at Region III Solo & Ensemble Festival! Both seniors earned a 1st Division Superior Rating and will perform at the ASBOA State Solo & Ensemble Festival in this month!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Day to these amazing educators! We are thankful to have each of you at EHS!
To kick off Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the teacher (turned administrator) who leads us all, Mrs. Sherry Hill.
Mrs. Hill loves professional football and is convinced she was a coach in a previous life. She is a huge Rolling Stones fan, having seen them in concert three times. Her favorite place to visit is the beach, and she usually goes twice a year: once with her family and again with her best friends of 28 years, former EHS Principal Alva Reibe and former ESD teacher and coach Teresa Crow.
Yesterday was National School Principal's Day. And where do you think our principal was on a Saturday, one of her few precious days off? She was serving students at the senior banquet.
Mrs. Hill's love for her school shines in all she does. We are thankful, grateful, and blessed to have her as an administrator. Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Hill!
Congrats to the 2021-2022 9th Grade Girls' Basketball Team!
