Update: the cherished plaque has been returned!
A huge thank you to the person who returned the plaque—it will once again be a valued part of preserving the legacy of the old high school!
Thank you to everyone who shared our message and kept an eye out for this important piece of our school's history!
🚨 Important Notice from El Dorado School District 🚨
As we prepare for the exciting new developments at the old high school on Timberlane Drive, we want to inform our community about a recent incident involving valuable memorabilia.
Before demolition began, ESD made it a top priority to remove valuable items from the site. Unfortunately, one of these cherished items—a plaque—was taken before it could be safely stored off-site for future placement.
We are kindly asking for the community's assistance in locating this missing plaque (pictured below. If you have any information regarding its whereabouts, we ask that you return it immediately.
Your help is crucial in preserving the history and legacy of our beloved school!
Important information about Murmil Education Center's Back to School Orientation! 🎉
From work, to home, to school, our phones are a key tool to navigate and communicate throughout the day. The custom-built ESD app makes it easy to stay up to date with district news and events.
Now, ESD is making it easier to stay in touch with teachers and class information from that same app. Using the ESD app you can easily switch from district and school information to Rooms, where you can see your student's classes and engage directly with teachers. Rooms can be accessed via the web and from our district app, which is available for free and can be used from both Apple and Android phones.
Parents and guardians will soon receive instructions via email/text to create their login to access Rooms within the district app.
