Ephrata Middle School -

Does the last day of school bring a smile to you face like Bentley? Thanks for a great school year, Mountaineers!

REMINDER! Tomorrow - June 6 - is the last day of school! Dismissal Times: Middle School: 11:55 AM High School: 12:00 PM Elementary Schools: 12:40 PM Intermediate School: 12:45 PM Breakfast will be served. Lunch will be served to students in Grades 1-6 only.

A graduation highlight every year is the nostalgic elementary walk when grads are energetically congratulated by younger Mountaineers and special moments with past teachers are revisited.

This afternoon, we hosted our annual Retirement Reception to celebrate 13 beloved Mountaineers and over 323 years of combined service to EASD! Congratulations and best wishes in retirement. See all of our retirees here: https://youtu.be/qonOArER3Y8

Today, 8th graders exhibited many #EASDLifeReady traits during their final Cornerstone presentations, which are done “Shark Tank” style in front of a panel of five business leaders. Well done, Mountaineers!

Meet our newest Mountaineer! Bentley joined the team today as our newest facility dog.

Our annual EASD ESL picnic was a huge success! 40+ families attended and brought food to share, local organizations shared how they can help families thrive, and games were organized by EHS Leo Club students. Thanks to our ESL families and staff who make this a successful event each year!

Over 70 students in grades 6-8 received Mountaineer Recognition Awards today for embodying #EASDLifeReady traits and going above and beyond this school year. Congrats!

EHS seniors are sharing their expertise with incoming freshmen to help all feel prepared, excited, hopeful, and most of all, a sense of belonging!

Over 40 Ephrata Middle School students spent several days in Boston and the surrounding areas to experience many historical sights and learning opportunities. Who remembers Boston Club from their time at EMS?

While some call it Teacher Appreciation Week, we embrace STAFF Appreciation Week at EASD. As this week draws to a close, we celebrate the commendable work of our entire Mountaineer team and the role they play in inspiring ALL students to reach their full potential. #MountsPride

On National School Lunch Hero Day, we are thanking our amazing food service staff for all they do! School lunches sure aren’t what they used to be… In fact, today EHS students sampled tamales, pepper jack pretzel bites, and mini chocolate lava cakes!

We are so proud of our undefeated Unified Track team!

It’s the 20th anniversary of the Ephrata Area Education Foundation! We are so grateful for all they do to support innovation and inspire achievement for our students and staff! Thanks to all who celebrated with us!
