Today, we are especially thankful for a supportive and engaged community. We had the privilege of hosting six inspiring leaders who shared their insights on entrepreneurship with 8th graders launching their own "Invest with Me" concepts and welcomed nearly 20 local professionals who guided 11th graders in exploring potential career paths. Thank you for joining EASD in our mission to inspire all of our students reach their full potential.
A group of EHS orchestra students are enjoying a memorable trip to London filled with many learning experiences and performance opportunities. They collaborated with Eltham School’s string orchestra, rehearsing together for just 20 minutes before performing—a rare opportunity since music education isn’t part of the daily curriculum in most European schools. The highlight? A master class with Igor Yuzefovich, concertmaster of the BBC Orchestra—one of the world’s top three orchestras! That’s like a football team training with Tom Brady! Stay tuned for more from this incredible journey!
Thank you to very generous donors who help to make this trip possible for EHS students every few years!
Best wishes to these EHS students who are headed to the state swim meet! #MountsPride

40 student teams recently competed in the annual EASD K'NEX Challenge to design a prototype that addresses a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. The goal is to inspire students to think about how cities, roads, bridges, and systems can be built or improved to be more efficient, sustainable, and accessible. Teams from EIS and Akron Elementary School were the top-finishers and will represent EASD next month at the IU13 level of competition. Congrats, Mountaineers!
