We will continue to share information on the Trimester schedule which will begin next year at ETHS. The counselors will begin meeting with students this month and assist students planning their schedule for the upcoming year. Please feel free to reach out to us or your child's counselor with any questions regarding their programming for next year.
Lastly, we like to congratulate our winter athletic programs (Girls and Boys Basketball, and Wrestling), our music groups on their upcoming performances, and our clubs on their continued student participation. We appreciate and value all opportunities for students to learn and grow. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
