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.
Our first round of last day dismissals are complete! What a send off! Best wishes for a safe & relaxing summer, EMS & EHS!
Big congrats to our Ephrata musicians!
🎺 On May 16, the EMS Band rocked Music in the Parks at Hershey with a 91.25 score — 1st place & superior rating!
🎤 On May 20, EMS Mounts Melodic & EHS Camerata Choir also earned superior ratings!
So proud of all our performers
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!
Loved seeing so many students show off their school pride for College Decision Day! Plus, a recent job fair gave soon-to-be grads a great start as they prepare to enter the workforce.
Our spring concerts were nothing short of amazing—if we do say so ourselves! Missed any or want to relive the magic? It’s the perfect weekend watch. Catch the full performances now on our Events YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ephrataareaschooldistric.../streams
This morning, over 260 EHS students were honored with Mountaineer Recognition Awards for a variety of achievements — but most of all, for embodying the #EASDLifeReady traits of a Mountaineer!
Two teams proudly represented EASD at the Lancaster Co. Envirothon. After weeks of prep, they tackled tests in Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry, Soils, and Current Issues. One team even broke a three-way tie to win the Current Issues category! Congrats to all who competed! 👏🌿🦉
Simply Fin-tastic! EHS students who are part of our Project Build A Better Future program recently assisted the PA Fish & Boat Commission with stocking fish in local waterways. Well done, Mountaineers!
A great cultural and collaborative learning experience... EHS students recently visited Cocalico School District to create mini piñatas, enjoy a Mexican lunch together, and participate in a friendly competition of language and culture. MUY BIEN, MOUNTAINEERS Y EAGLES!
Congrats to EHS Science Teacher Doug Kellogg who was named the North Museum Board of Directors’ Honoree for Excellence in Science Education. Learn more about the amazing impact he having on our students - https://northmuseum.org/nmsef-bod-winners/
Best wishes to all EHS & EMS students participating at North Museum Science and Engineering Fair today at Millersville University!
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
Congratulations to the EHS students who were recognized this weekend at the Lancaster County Young Artists reception. Their artwork will now be on display at the PA College of Art & Design and Lancaster Museum of Art. A job well done by these talented Mountaineers!
During School Social Work Week, join us in thanking these incredible Mountaineers for their important work in our schools and communities!
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a student for a day? For the 10th year in a row, EASD administrators are taking on the #ShadowAStudent challenge to walk in students' shoes and gain new insights on a variety of learning experiences. Here, EHS assistant principal Mrs. Calhoun is participating in choir rehearsal and a science lab. Great work, Mountaineers!
