REMINDER TO THE CLASS OF 2020!
Tomorrow begins pick up for SENIOR ITEMS.
ONLY students last names beginning with A-G may pick up tomorrow!
Seniors can pick up cords, diplomas, report cards, senior signs, Promise Acceptance forms, and request their final transcripts to be sent to colleges from 9am-2pm in the main lobby of EHS.
Diplomas can only be picked up by the student or the student's parent.
Transcripts are $2.00 CASH ONLY. Please bring EXACT CHANGE.
Senior fines will need to be taken care of before picking up items.
You may go to mypaymentsplus.com to pay fines. We highly encourage you to pay for fines through that system.
If you can not access that system, we will only accept CASH money in the exact amount for the student's fines.
Arkansas Scholars awards, Promise hats, and Union County Community Foundation scholarship awards will be given out to students as they exit the building during these dates/times.
**Promise Scholars will sign their required Promise Acceptance forms on these dates above. This form must be signed in order to receive the Promise Scholarship. They will also receive their purple Promise folders which contain forms they will need for the Promise, including their Scholarship Award letter to take to their college.
TO HELP ENSURE WE FOLLOW CDC GUIDELINES:
We will have an entry and exit, along with floor markers for spacing, and no more than 3 people in the lobby area at a time.
Each student will need to have their temperature checked upon entry by the nurse.
We will put out tables with transcript request forms that are attached to an envelope for students to fill out ahead of time. These will be available in a tubby out in front of the school starting the week of May 28th-June 4th.
Please place the exact cash amount in the envelope that has the transcript form attached and fill out all information required on the form.
The envelope will need to be placed in the box next to the front office when you come to pick-up/drop-off diploma/transcripts, Promise Acceptance forms, etc.
Please note that we are dividing days up by the last name. Again the hours will be from 9am-2pm starting Monday, June 1st -Thursday, June 4th.

If you received a school-issued iPad to do virtual assignments, please return it to EHS next week. Place the iPad in the black box outside the front entrance Monday-Friday between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm.
As COVID-19 set in and schools were closed, Mr. Tucker and the EHS administration began brainstorming ways to recognize the senior class. Once it became apparent that the traditional graduation on May 18th wasn't going to be possible, the district knew yard signs would be a safe way to recognize the seniors. During one of the Google Meet faculty meetings, Mrs. Hill mentioned the school district was purchasing yard signs to be posted up around the driveway at the high school in recognition of all the 2020 seniors.
But who was going to set up over 300 yard signs? Enter the Class of 2021.
"As I thought about everything the seniors have missed this year," stated Wayne Garner, 2021 Class Sponsor, "and knowing how important it is...stepping stones of life...I knew there had to be a way we, the Class of 2021, could help. When Mrs. Hill mentioned the yard signs, I immediately contacted my steering committee officers about my thoughts and the opportunity. We decided to donate $100 to the school district to help pay for the signs, as well as help put them up around the school when they were ready."
Junior class president Jasmine Wallace stated, "Being a Junior this year, I realize how excited our class is to be seniors. I'm sure they [Class of 2020] all felt the same as juniors. I can't imagine how they must feel not being able to have traditional senior events and their year getting cut short. From the class of 2021, we want to thank the class of 2020 for being so awesome and so strong during this rough time!"
Junior class vice president Layken Grimes added, "The senior class has always been like our big brothers and sisters. Always there for us. So, it was nice to be able to be there for them during this time."
Junior class secretary/treasurer Journey Moreland followed up with, "I felt we should donate to the yard signs because the seniors have had to miss so much this year and by donating to the signs, our class was able to show how much we care about making the end of their senior year as special as possible for them."
EHS would like to thank the school district for providing the signs. And a huge thank you to the EHS administration and Class of 2021 for their help in setting up the signs last week! We appreciate your support!!
If you missed your chance to pick up your summer reading packet last week, you are in luck! There will be another chance THIS Wednesday and Thursday from 9am-3pm in front of EHS!
