El Dorado High School is currently experiencing an electrical malfunction of the front entrance doors. The mag-lock will not release for entry; therefore, all students need to be dropped off at the Auditorium or Arena parking lot entrances. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update when it is working properly.
Today is National School Librarian Day and we'd like to recognize our EHS Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Jackie Porter!
What do you enjoy about being a librarian?
"I love everything about engaging with the students. I love talking about books, making suggestions, and even helping them conduct research. I want students to find books that they enjoy and connect with. I've worked hard to build a collection that kids will love and see themselves in and I get a lot of satisfaction out of matching students with a book!"
We hope our students pop in this week to say hi to Mrs. Porter and hopefully find THE BOOK.
We love our EHS Vice and Assistant Principals!

March is Theatre in Our Schools month! 🎭💜💙💛 And to celebrate, we are sharing some of our thespians' experiences in theatre.
Up first is Jael "Alex" Quiles, Troupe 42's honor thespian. Alex is also the Historian of Troupe 42.
When asked about theatre, Alex says; "Everybody needs a hobby that they can tend to at the end of a bad day and hopefully feel free in. What I love about theater is that it makes me feel free. One of the things that first draws you in about theater is the community aspect of it. You meet people of different races, ages, ethnicity, and status. And yet, very rarely will you ever be welcomed with closed arms in a theater space. And a cast often feels like family after the last show ends. Auditioning, learning, practicing, and eventually performing a new role is always rewarding. There is no greater achievement for me than when a curtain closes and I know I have given it my all to make it a good show. I consider it to be one of my life’s works. Doing it with our theater troupe has only made my love for it grow ten times larger. Overall, the praise is unlimited, the applauses are deafening and the stress is addicting. I hope I never have to leave the theater."
The EHS Orchestras are performing on Tuesday, March 7th at 6:30pm in the EHS auditorium. It's free to the public!
We hope to see you there.
There is a blood drive at EHS tomorrow! Donate and help save lives.
