Best wishes to the Mountaineers who are moving on to compete in the state competition that kicks off TODAY at Penn State University!

Huge congratulations to Zoey Mohler and her team from Lancaster County Career & Technology Center! They earned first place in the 2026 SkillsUSA District Photography Promotional Competition, qualifying them for the PA SkillsUSA Championship, where they placed fourth in the state! This week, Zoey also received a School Board Resolution honoring her outstanding achievement, creativity, and hard work. Well done, Zoey!

At this week’s school board meeting, students in the National Art Honor Society unveiled the fourth phase of their mural project, a beautiful work symbolizing hope and happiness.

Each year, students create a new panel that is displayed in the district office board room, leaving a lasting legacy of creativity and inspiration.

We are proud to showcase the incredible talents of our student artists in public spaces throughout EASD and our community!

It’s National Library Week! This year’s theme, “Find Your Joy,” celebrates the power of libraries to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.

We’re proud of our Ephrata Area School District learners and educators who make our libraries vibrant spaces for discovery every day. Thank you for turning pages into possibilities and helping every student find their joy!

Applauding the EHS students who attended the FBLA State Leadership Conference in Hershey... They learned a lot and were inspired by a personalized pep talk from Sheila Jones, CEO of Whicked Results, who encouraged students to embrace growth, resilience, and new opportunities. Her message left students motivated, confident, and better prepared for their next steps as future business leaders.

We are proud to have a group of students join Dr. Dietz and over 100 educators and advocates at the PA Capitol to raise awareness on a variety of needs to combat the state’s teacher shortage. Their message: Supporting future teachers is critical to equity, workforce stability, and student success. Well done, Mountaineers!

Thank you to our generous community and Giant for "rounding up at the register" to help ensure all students are well fed and ready to learn!

If you think their hands are full, you should see their hearts! 💜💛 Thank you to our team of paraprofessionals for the meaningful work they do to support our students and staff.

During Senator Malone’s visit to EASD today, he experienced firsthand the dynamic learning taking place across our schools. At EHS, he observed an Honors U.S. History Socratic Seminar, engaged in thoughtful discussion with prospective educators in our Honors Foundations of Teaching class, and learned how students are developing real-world skills through Mounts Tech Support—including earning drone certifications. The visit concluded at Clay Elementary School, where he saw the Coding Contest in action and celebrated our students’ innovation and problem-solving skills.

The PIAA State Wrestling Championships kick off today at the Giant Center, and we’re wishing Brody Musser and Dustin Hoover THE BEST as they hit the mats to compete against the top wrestlers in Pennsylvania. They’ve put in the work to earn their spot on this stage, now it’s time to shine! GO MOUNTS!

Join us tomorrow night to celebrate the amazing work of many talented Mountaineers who will have their work on display.

A group of EHS students had an amazing day at the annual Fulton Theatre technical workshop, ArtsTech! They joined students from across the region to tour and explore a wide range of careers in technical theatre. It was an incredibly informative and fun experience for everyone involved! We’re so grateful to the theatre’s education team, presenters, designers, crew members, and generous sponsors for sharing their time and expertise to inspire the next generation of theatre professionals!

The annual student vs. staff Bocce Bowl took place yesterday. This tradition is a favorite for all who are involved! Great job, Mountaineers!
