Ephrata High School -

During our final school board meeting of the 2025-2026 school year, we are proud to recognize many students for a variety of commendable achievements in both athletics and academics. Well done, Mountaineers!

Now that summer is upon us, we thought you might find this safety information helpful.
Additionally, with construction taking place at both Fulton and Highland Elementary Schools this summer, those playgrounds are currently closed. Thank you for your understanding and continued best wishes for a safe and happy summer break!

School may be out for summer, but our Mountaineers continue their learning.

Today, EHS social studies teachers visited the Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley for a private tour of the museum and library, including an opportunity to use a 19th-century printing press! They had a great time exploring local history and look forward to incorporating what they learned with students next school year.

Until next year, Mountaineers! Have a great summer!

REMINDER: Tomorrow - Thursday, June 4 - is the last day of school for students.

Dismissal times:

Our graduating seniors were welcomed with enthusiastic cheers, handmade signs, and countless high-fives from our youngest learners lining the halls when they returned to their elementary schools today. Along the way, they reconnected with former teachers, revisited old classrooms, and reflected on how far they’ve come. This heartwarming tradition is cherished by students, staff, and especially our graduates. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

At this year’s Senior Awards Ceremony, nearly 100 seniors received awards and scholarships totaling approximately $1.9 MILLION! The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze us. Thank you for continuing to bless our deserving students and their families year after year. Your support is helping shape bright futures for the next generation.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! We look forward to welcoming our Mountaineers back to school tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26.

Best wishes to our student athletes who are headed to the state track meet today! You make us proud, Mountaineers!

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!
