A Message from the Principal

EPHS Families,

Happy New Year! I hope the break provided you and yours a chance to slow down and connect. My family and I really enjoyed our time together. We saw over 15 inches of snowfall where we were on the North Shore!

As we start the new year, EPHS will be as busy and exciting as ever. Students will prepare for the end of Semester 1, winter activities are in full swing, and grades 9-11 students will select courses for the 22-23 school year in early February. Here is a summary of important dates ahead:

  • EP Connects tonight at 7:00 PM in the South Commons Collab.  Feel free to drop by between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM for this “Coffee with the Principal”to ask questions or just to connect. Park in the South Lot.  
  • Term 2 Finals are on Wednesday, January 26 (Periods 1 & 2) and Thursday, January 27 (Periods 3 & 4).
  • Preview of Course Selection Season–much more to come on this beginning next week:
  • Students will select courses in Infinite Campus from February 2 to February 17
  • The “Course Selection Open House” for parents/guardians is February 2 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at EPHS
  • Students will receive information in their Connections classes on February 1, 8, and 15. We will also have our “Rush” for them during Flex Time on the 1st.

Great things are happening here in Eagle Nation. I’m looking forward to our work together in ‘22!
