Youth Voter Project

Youth Voter Project

The Youth Voter Project is an effort by volunteers with the League of Women Voters of Vermont to focus on young eligible voters to increase voter registration and voting.


League of Women Voters of Vermont will be at EHS on October 18th during lunch blocks with a table to help students register to vote.


What students will need:

Driver's License #, Learners Permit #, or a Non-Driver Identification # issued by the state of Vermont. If they do not have one of these forms of identification, students may use the last 4 digits of their Social Security #. Please note: it is illegal to use a Social Security # if they have a Vermont State Issued ID, but do not have it with them.

The EWSD is leading the way in making 21st-century learning a reality for all students. We are seeking diverse perspectives from our students, families, staff, and the broader community in developing a Portrait of a Graduate.


Now more than ever, our students must be provided high-level learning opportunities that foster critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and other 21st-century skills and mindsets. Our shared aspiration is that all our students have an educational experience that prepares them to be lifelong learners and contributors today and tomorrow.

Attention 9th Grade Students

Hello 9th-grade Families!


From September 26th through October 18th, counselors will meet with each

of their 9th-grade students. These 30-minute meetings are pre-scheduled

and will take place during the school day. Lists will be hanging in the counseling office windows where they will see the day and time that they are scheduled to meet with their school counselor.


These meetings are intended for connection between the counselor and the student only. We do our best to schedule these meetings during study hall blocks in your student's schedule, but they may find that they are scheduled during a class. If so, your student's teacher will know in advance and they will be excused from class for the meeting without penalty. If you would like to connect directly with your student's counselor or if you have any questions about this process, please contact the School Counseling Office at 857-7111 to set up a meeting or ask questions.
