Please join us in celebrating our record-breaking Senior Awards Night! An incredible $1,980,050 was awarded to graduating EHS seniors — a total that is hard to match, not just locally, but across the state and possibly the nation. We are beyond grateful for our generous community and the amazing support behind our students’ futures.

Huge congrats to Cole McAnany, an 8th grader at Ephrata Middle School, for earning a perfect score in the prestigious Math Olympiad (MOEMS®) — a feat achieved by only the top 2% nationwide!
Cole, who’s been competing since 5th grade, impressed his teacher, Mr. Zeni, with his rare talent: “Cole is a mathematician… he can solve problems in his head with little or no work.”
With over 84,000 students participating, Cole’s achievement is a true standout. Way to go, Cole!
