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!

Best wishes to our Ephrata Middle School students who earned a spot in the next round of the What’s So Cool About Manufacturing video contest! They're headed to the state competition in Harrisburg today. GO MOUNTS!

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.
