Our hearts go out to the EASD families and community members impacted by today's fire at Martin's Country Market. We are grateful to the hundreds of firefighters and emergency personnel - many who speak regularly in our classrooms - for the bravery and grit they showed today.
We support a resilient Mountaineer community and believe in the strength and empathy that will prevail.

Let's get to know our Mountaineer staff! FIRST UP...
The December school board reorganization meeting included District Justice Tony Russell administering the Oath of Office to newly elected and reelected officers. We welcome Jason Breckbill and thank all board members for their service to our students, staff and community.
Celebrating Public Education: Several students in 8th grade each gave a short presentation in the format of inspirational TedTalks. Students chose the topics of limited screen time to experience the outdoors, integrity, and trust. Each communicated their concepts and thoughts very confidently. Well done, Mountaineers!
School Board Resolutions included the state athletic achievements of cross country and girls’ volleyball, as well as the service of retiring Board member, Dr. Nancy Aronson.
