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!
Happy New Year! It was great to kick off 2025 with so many smiling faces today!
Our facility dogs Bentley and Izzy are extra cozy on the job today in their holiday jammies!
Join us in congratulating these Mountaineers who completed the six-week Attollo program, meeting before school at 6AM three times a week, and focusing on the Six Pillars – Strong Mind, Competition, Resiliency, Accountability, Sacrifice, and Finishing Strong. Students set individualized plans of action and can now also solve the Rubiks Cube in under two minutes. IMPRESSIVE! Students shared they feel empowered by their hard work and dedication and “feel like they can accomplish anything.” #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady
These amazing Mountaineers - along with many classmates not pictured - hosted another fantastic Holiday Open House today with a variety of items they crafted themselves. This annual event features the work of EHS students in our life skills, autistic support, and Bridges classes. Students also use their communication and customer service skills to tour all shoppers through the open house and their math skills at the final point-of-sale station. Great job, Mountaineers!
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!
Elementary students enjoyed a holiday breakfast for lunch. Just look at those smiles! Clay students thought this was a perfect reason to also wear PJs to school! Good thinking, Mountaineers!
#EASDLifeReady Mountaineers give back! Akron Elementary School fourth-graders recently took their annual trip to Dutch-Way to spend the money they earned during a special Reading Day on items they will donate to Ephrata Area Social Services. #MountsPride
Congratulations to all 2024-25 EHS inductees to the National Honor Society!

Last week, a group of EHS students and staff kicked off their holiday break with an NYC trip to experience the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art, including an exhibit of resilience by EHS alum Jesse Krimes. Students shared they also enjoyed seeing the artwork of Claude Monet, the armor & arms exhibit at The Met, and walking through Central Park.
Proud to collaborate with Aurora Institute to share the important work of our Life Ready Graduate journey - https://aurora-institute.org/cw_post/making-a-portrait-of-a-graduate-authentic-and-dynamic/?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_okGW0isMQMDdhqu0mV7nmm0rov1IF0l-SFPM4AzxLGPSK4YEdjZPSiJ80TISMBe3F1IdHqhU6OxjdW1AUilyU8-hT1Q&_hsmi=335664683&utm_content=335664683&utm_source=hs_email&fbclid=IwY2xjawG7_ohleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUAKdIYx1a4xbky1cbzjY8itZL169AQbmbV7r3ALLD6SawAC-b2i1TH7yw_aem_Dv1R-4U1x-SWTjEzEhtx2w
Welcome back, Mountaineers!
The holidays are upon us and Ephrata Intermediate School Leo Club students are already prepping their Stockings for Soldiers that will be sent overseas later next month. We love seeing these #EASDLifeReady traits in action! Well done, Mountaineers!
From a special drone adventure to a creative PTO paint night, these Akron Mountaineers have been learning through a variety of memorable experiences.
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!
After the EHS girls team placed 10th and the boys team placed 26th at the District III cross country meet last weekend, individual finalists Ella Pfautz and Kyle Reidenbaugh are headed to the state meet ! Congrats, Mountaineers & best wishes at states!
