Meet A Mountaineer

Our students continue to benefit from the amazing programs offered by Lone Oak Therapeutic & Educational Services. Sessions focus on a variety of #EASDLifeReady skills and dispositions which benefit students well beyond the barn and the classroom. Well done, Mountaineers!

After the EHS girls team placed 10th and the boys team placed 26th at the District III cross country meet last weekend, individual finalists Ella Pfautz and Kyle Reidenbaugh are headed to the state meet ! Congrats, Mountaineers & best wishes at states!

These Clay Mountaineers built some amazing catapults to launch pumpkins today!

The annual 9th grade STEM Summit is an opportunity for students work together on a variety of projects themed around science, technology, engineering and math. Thank you to Jr. Achievement and the many volunteers who made this memorable day possible for our students!

We love to see Mountaineers' school spirit, especially when it provides inspiration for trick-or-treating on Halloween. #MountsPride

The 5th Grade Cornerstone kicked off with nearly 30 community leaders. Students learned about a variety of careers to inspire their “Mounts Run This Town” projects and potentially their future endeavors. Thanks to our amazing community partners for making this possible! Oh, and it was also "Hat Day!" 😀

Look at all of these happy Akron Mountaineers enjoying their Red Ribbon Week! Can you guess all of the themes?

Ephrata Intermediate School students are learning what it means to be an EASD Future Driven Leader. They look forward to collaborating and inspiring their classmates this school year.

As National School Lunch Week comes to an end, we are sending a loud SHOUT-OUT (and an "AHOY, MATEY") to our amazing food service staff! Thank you for all you do!

Tis the season for Corny Days! This annual event engages sixth-graders in a variety of science and math activities to learn ALL the ways that corn serves us. Thank you to the many community partners and the Ephrata Area Education Foundation for continuing to make this event so successful.

What a beautiful fall day for the annual 4th grade field trip to the Ephrata Cloister. Students will use what learned today to reflect upon and answer the question: How has PA changed over time?

This week kicked off the fall preschool session at EHS. High school students in early childhood courses lead a variety of learning sessions to help these young Mountaineers get ready for Kindergarten, from name interactive recognition/spelling activities to sensory crafts and much more!

It's a Mountaineer Pride Friday! These students love being Mountaineers...and baseball, of course!

With a little mud and a lot of sunshine, 7th graders are super engaged in their annual Cocalico Creek stream study as part of their year-long Cornerstone project to answer the question: How do civilizations develop and sustain themselves? Great work, Mountaineers!
