AN EDUCATION EMBRACING THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE, COMPASSION, PARTNERSHIP AND COMMUNITY...
... taking place in a smaller environment, where it is easier to be known and feel a sense of belonging:
- Values integrated into the curriculum for each subject
- Faith taught, explored and celebrated
- Teacher/student ratio of 1:13
- Average class size of 19 students
- Average students per grade of about 160
- 95% participate in co-curricular activities
- About 97% of EHS students return each year because they like it here!
…under the guidance of excellent faculty and staff:
- 975 combined years of teaching experience or an average of 19 years teaching per faculty member
- Three-fourths of EHS teachers hold an advanced degree
- EHS faculty has won a total of 57 state or national awards
- Our Student Services Counselors guide teens from the beginning of freshman year,
preparing them for the challenge of identifying possible career paths and colleges of
interest, and applying for admission.
- Students routinely say one of the best qualities of EHS is how the teachers demonstrate their care for each student; they graduate expressing the strong feeling that
they see their teachers also as mentors, guides and friends
…resulting for each student in the achievement of his or her potential as a confident, compassionate, contributing graduate:
