Congratulations to all of our June School Board Resolution recipients! From impressive athletic accomplishments to academic honors at the state and national levels, it was a pleasure to recognize so many deserving Mountaineers at the final board meeting of the 2024–25 school year.
Best wishes to rising EHS senior Breelyn Beyer who is headed to Germany this week! This competitive scholarship program includes a three-week educational and cultural immersion experience for high-achieving students of German through the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG). Breelyn qualified with earning high scores on the National German Exam and meeting a range of eligibility criteria, including a comprehensive interview conducted solely in German. During the trip, she will attend classes at a local academic high school, live with host families, and participate in cultural excursions. The program fosters language learning and cross-cultural understanding through homestays, classroom integration, and supervised field trips.
Yes another reason to celebrate today... Mr. Marvin Sauder has been an EASD bus drive for 50 year - FIFTY YEARS - and today he drove his final routes! Please join us in thanking and congratulating Mr. Sauder!

After a long weekend, it was a great start to the week recognizing students in grades 5-8 with Mountaineer Achievement Awards! These students are celebrated for a variety of successes this school year. Congratulations, Mountaineers!
Please join us in celebrating our record-breaking Senior Awards Night! An incredible $1,980,050 was awarded to graduating EHS seniors — a total that is hard to match, not just locally, but across the state and possibly the nation. We are beyond grateful for our generous community and the amazing support behind our students’ futures.
Our 5th Graders wowed us today with an incredible showcase of their Cornerstone Projects, each one highlighting a career of their choice! From professional athletes and chefs to veterinarians and an Air Force pilot, these young scholars dove deep into research, crafted thoughtful presentations, and confidently shared their work with family, classmates, and school leaders.
Did you hear the great news? Our What’s So Cool About Manufacturing team placed 2nd in PA! Over 170 teams from across the state competed, and we’re proud to say we made it to the top! Even more exciting — we’re the first team from South Central PA to place in the top three at the state finals! Way to go, team!
Big congrats to our Ephrata musicians!

More great news Envirothon news to share! Two Ephrata Middle School teams - Don't Leaf Us Behind & The Ephrata Ecologists - placed among the top five teams in Lancaster County at the middle school competition this week. Great work, Mountaineers!
More Mountaineers giving back... Today, students from Ephrata Intermediate School's Leaders of Future Generations group visited WellSpan Health Ephrata Community Hospital with a heartfelt mission: to brighten the day of discharged patients with handmade cards and cheerful potted plants. After weeks of planning, the students rallied around their self-created motto, "Growing Seeds of Hope," which inspired both their creations and their compassionate outreach. This meaningful initiative is part of a leadership program through Compass Mark, now in its third year at EIS and implemented in three school districts across Lancaster County.
Fulton students have been earning Mount Money all year when demonstrating positive behaviors! Many spent it on fun experiences like ice cream making and sports activities, while others saved up to donate. Over $200 is being given to Ephrata Area Social Services, as a result. Way to go, Mountaineers! 💜💛
CONGRATS to our Unified Track team who placed second yesterday at the L-L Meet. These Mountaineers were energized and ready, earning many personal records. What a great way to end the season!
Huge congrats to Cole McAnany, an 8th grader at Ephrata Middle School, for earning a perfect score in the prestigious Math Olympiad (MOEMS®) — a feat achieved by only the top 2% nationwide!
Cole, who’s been competing since 5th grade, impressed his teacher, Mr. Zeni, with his rare talent: “Cole is a mathematician… he can solve problems in his head with little or no work.”
With over 84,000 students participating, Cole’s achievement is a true standout. Way to go, Cole!
Best wishes to our Ephrata Middle School students who earned a spot in the next round of the What’s So Cool About Manufacturing video contest! They're headed to the state competition in Harrisburg today. GO MOUNTS!
This week, current 8th graders are visiting EHS to get a sneak peek of the high school experience including a school tour, upperclassmen Q & A, lunch in the cafeteria, mini activities fair, and much more!
