Meet A Mountaineer






Congratulations to Lori Long who was named the VFW Teacher of the Year at the local, district, and state levels! Mrs. Long is a true example of #MountsPride! She has taught for nearly 34 years at EASD and served in every one of our elementary schools. This is a very well deserved recognition, especially as she looks forward to retirement at the end of this school year.


Best wishes to Nicholas Ryan who is headed to Chicago to represent EHS in an individual quiz bowl competition with at least 100 other students nationwide. We are proud of Nicholas for earning this achievement and wish him the best of luck! #MountsPride

Every year a group of distinguished Veterans visit with our freshman to share first-hand historical perspectives on the time they served in the military, many who served in Vietnam. We thank these Veterans for their service and for this memorable student leaning experience.





EHS Camerata singers rang in Music In Our Schools Month on Monday with an hour-long concert in the PA Capitol Rotunda. What a stunning venue for these talented student vocalists!
