Hello Cougar Families and Happy Sunday,
Check out some scenes from this Friday's epic Homecoming Assembly. Performances by our Marching Band, Cheer Squad, and Poms were awesome; the games and skits were hilarious. It was a spirited week, full of fun events and positive culture. We appreciate all of the amazing staff, parents, coaches, and community members that come together to make EHS the amazing place that it is. Go Cougs!
