Focus! Determination! Strategy! Competitiveness! …and smiling students of course! EHS is currently hosting the end-of-season L-L Chess Tournament. Best wishes to everyone, especially our Mountaineers!

Today, sophomores participated in an assembly and Q&A - Lift Every Voice and Sing - during their American History classes. Thank you to Servant Stage for providing this educational and moving presentation as part of Black History Month.

Our hearts go out to the EASD families and community members impacted by today's fire at Martin's Country Market. We are grateful to the hundreds of firefighters and emergency personnel - many who speak regularly in our classrooms - for the bravery and grit they showed today. We support a resilient Mountaineer community and believe in the strength and empathy that will prevail.

We all know today is Valentine’s Day, but did you also know it’s National Random Acts of Kindness Week? Our students are engaged in a variety of daily activities to bring these important #EASDLifeReady lessons to life!

Meet A Mountaineer

It was a successful First Friday kickoff at EHS! During lunch periods, students played a variety of games, won trivia prizes, posed for pictures, and more…all to set a welcoming and positive vibe for the month ahead.

Today was the Lancaster-Lebanon K’Nex Challenge. Our EIS team FINISHED FIRST with their high-tech Trash Picker Upper to help combat litter on farm fields. This win now qualifies them for the state competition. Congrats Anthony, Audrey, Joshua & Lucinda! GO MOUNTS!

Our Mountaineers created hundreds of valentines (500 from EMS alone) as part of the Blue Ridge Touch a Heart initiative. Students’ encouraging messages will be delivered to local nursing home residents and hospital patients, as well as Veterans and soldiers.

Congrats to both the girls & boys swim teams for cinching section titles this week! The girls have won the section for the 4th year in a row, which is their 7th in the last 8 years. The boys won the section this year for the 4th time in 5 years. Well done, Mountaineers!

The softball turf is rolling out! Plus! Look at all the progress on the new concession/bathroom building! Learn more and see pictures of the project since construction began in August - https://www.easdpa.org/o/easd/page/athletic-fields-project

We love hearing from our students! Our Student Engagement Facilitators' ongoing efforts to increase student voice, engagement, and belonging recently included group discussions to learn what is going well and what more can be done to help students feel successful now and in the future.

Thank you to the Lancaster Chamber for providing their mentorship program for our high school students. Students recently met their mentors, who represent a variety of professions, and look forward to all they are about to learn in the coming months. #EASDLifeReady

Congrats to the four Mountaineers who were part of the PMEA District 7 Chorus Festival this weekend. Also, a special shout-out to Sally Bollinger who qualified for the regional chorus! #MountsPride
