Throughout the year, the EHS band directors will invite various local directors to come in, direct a rehearsal, and visit with students. This week, J.P. Wilson, the Director of Bands at Southern Arkansas University, led the students through a relatively new piece of music, giving them feedback and encouragement. The students soaked it up and enjoyed the experience! Typically, students are able to ask questions about the college's band program or college life as a member of the band. It's a great opportunity for students to get a feel of college directors and get constructive criticism. Thanks to Mr. Kloap for giving EHS students a variety of adventures!
Attention Class of 2018! Come visit and get prepared for life after EHS!
Basketball senior night is tonight at Wildcat Arena! Games begin at 5pm! Go support your seniors!
Students in Mr. Johnson's Visual Art II classes are working on carving linoleum blocks to make prints, but there's a catch. In order to participate, students must pass a Carver's Test with an 80% or higher to be issued their carver's license. Throughout the project, principals and resource officers come through to check for the students' licenses. If they don't have their license, the student must answer two safety questions correctly before they can continue working. Great work!
