The High School had a busy few weeks leading up to April vacation. Here are some highlights from the Senior Capstone Expo. The Capstone project is designed for students to explore a passion project. This allows students to learn in new ways that both showcase and challenge their existing knowledge and skills. Capstone learning should be self-directed, and may be an interdisciplinary, community-oriented opportunity to explore various subjects.
The 2024 EHPS STEP-UP Concert was a Great Success!
