EHS Families — Summer reading is here!
To support your student, we’ve created a Google Classroom with all the necessary materials: digital packets, audiobooks, and PDFs of the books on their summer reading list. This way, if anything gets lost or misplaced, they’ll still have access to everything they need to be successful.
Let’s keep those reading skills sharp this summer!

Madison Ford is set to become the first El Dorado High School student to complete the Practical Nursing (PN) program at South Arkansas College! She’ll wrap up her clinical training on July 31 and then take the NCLEX to earn her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) licensure. This fall, Madison will continue her education at the University of Central Arkansas, where she plans to pursue a Registered Nursing (RN) degree. Her long-term goal is to become a travel nurse, combining her interest in healthcare with the opportunity to experience new places.
Congratulations to Madison on this significant milestone!!
