El Dorado High School

Yesterday, the Leadership and Service Class participated in a campus clean up activity. Thanks, EHS scholars, for keeping our campus beautiful!

On Tuesday, the EHS Softball team used their workout time to remember 9/11. In what they called their "9/11 Hero" workout, Coach Samantha Schweickhardt said, "they pushed each other HARD, since they knew their struggle was nothing compared to the dedication and sacrifice of the men and women that day. When each finished, they made sure to stay outside to support the rest of the their team. Everyone finished in great time! Fastest time: 11 min 32 sec." In order to commemorate the 2997 people that died on 9/11, they did the following: 2 laps around the top of the basketball arena 9 push-ups 9 squats 7 sit-ups x 4 rounds! One of the best things about this workout, neither Coach S or the girls bragged about their work. A parent mentioned it, and we asked Coach S to share with us what they did. There are so many amazing things going on throughout EHS, and we are happy to share when we can! Can't wait to see ya'll on the field this spring, Softball Cats! Your spirit and determination is sure to light up the field!

#CollegeWednesday #thepromisingchoice #EHSCatsCan Check out Emma Gaul, 9th grader, and Addie Gaul, 5th grader, supporting their brother, Noah Gaul, Class of 2018, in their Coastal Carolina shirts! Noah has been evacuated due to Hurricane Florence, so it only seemed fitting to wear CCU shirts today! We love your support, Gaul family! Our thoughts are with Noah and all those in the path of the hurricane!

The Wildcat Cross Country team had a successful second meet of the season. The varsity boys won the meet for the second year in a row! They were first place out of five full teams represented. There were 6 varsity boys that brought home individual awards for placing in the top 10. Jadon Cunningham placed 2nd, Hudson McDiarmid was 3rd, Brooks Coan was 6th, JD Halstead was 8th, Jaland Upshaw was 9th, and Hayden McDiarmid placed 10th. There were approximately 60 kids running. In the varsity girls race, Melanie Miller just missed out of getting an individual award by placing 11th. Alivia Zartuche was 13th. Addy Taylor once again lead the Junior Girls team with another top 10 finish. She placed 8th. The junior girls placed 3rd as a team.

SENIOR Homecoming shirts will be sold this week during lunch. They cost $20, and for an extra $5, students will get a neon fanny pack in true 80’s fashion.

Yesterday, Visual Art I students discussed Expressionism (a style of painting in which the artist seeks to express an emotional experience). To aid in their discussion, Mr. Jorge Villegas from the South Arkansas Arts Center visited with 5th and 6th periods. He demonstrated how to draw a face that looked confused or felt panic. Students will apply these techniques to their projects they will focus on that will honor September 11th.
