Dear Cougar Families, 

This past week Janet Anderson, our amazing Futures Center counselor held EHS's 1st annual Shred Party. 

Students and staff came in to the Futures Center with college rejection letters or other disappointments (jobs not offered, goals missed, etc.)  written on paper. They were applauded as they ran these through the Main Office shredder. 

The point of this event is to elevate that redirections, disappointments and rejections are a normal part of life. And we, as individuals and as a community, continue on together.

Our biggest disappointments never stop us. They never define us. They lead to our greatest opportunities, happy surprises, learning and achievements.  

We are here as a school community to support one another through it all.

As the Class of 2024 moves toward their special day at Red Rocks, seniors can pass through the Graduation Balloon Pop Count Down. 

On May 1, all seniors will visit the Futures Center to share their plans for after Graduation. Enlistment, gap years, service work, jobs and college plans are all celebrated. 

These days are so exciting! We treasure each and every one.

As we make our way through the year, we will continue to maintain our tradition of excellence by celebrating each student as an individual. This makes EHS an excellent school, an exceptional community and a model for extraordinary student culture.  

Warm regards, 

Dr. Skyler Artes, Principal
