We are proud to again be a part of GIANT Feeding School Kids initiative. Since 2021, over $19,000 has been provided to help ensure all EASD students have adequate access to meals. Now – March 31 "round up at the register" to help support this worthy cause!


Nothing but smiles on Mountaineer Pride Fridays!



Our facility dogs Bentley and Izzy are extra cozy on the job today in their holiday jammies!


Over the last 17 years, students in grades 5-8, who are part of the Leo Club, collected 1,929 cold weather accessories for those in need. Well done, Mountaineers!

Welcome back, Mountaineers!



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!





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!


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!


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!






The August School Board Resolutions included student athlete Softball Coaches Association state honors, Dr. Laura Mandell earning a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction, and School Board members’ recognition for many commendable years of service.




Congratulations to the following staff who recently celebrated Mountaineer Milestone Anniversaries with EASD.
