Week 2 of Interim Term Begins
Week 2 of Interim Term brings more dynamic classes such as The Magic of the Mind, EHS Project Runway, and Is Faith a Blind Leap: Mind-bending Ideas About God. While underclassmen participate in Interim Term and Grade Level Learning, the seniors are volunteering throughout the Houston area for Senior Outreach, serving schools and nonprofits. For a list of this year's Interim Term and Grade Level Learning classes, click here.  For an insider's view of class activities, be sure to follow us on our social media sites.

Note:  Students are expected to wear appropriate dress during Interim Term. Jeans and EHS-themed shirts are OK. No leggings, cut-offs, tank  tops or hats (indoors).  All students received guidelines via email.  Thank you!

From Dean of Students Kim Randolph: Uniforms  and Fournace Street Closure
Uniforms:  As you may have read, Parker School Uniforms closed all of their stores in and outside of Texas and shut down their website. For 30 years, Parker has been the primary supplier for our pleated uniform skirt. However, our primary supplier continues to be Lands' End for the majority of uniform items. (Please see our website for ordering information.) We are currently in a search for a secondary uniform supplier and will post information as the selection is finalized.
Fournace Street Closure: The southbound Fournace Street exit on 610 will be closed through January 27.  Recommended solutions include detouring  via the Hidalgo St. exit. Turn south on Post Oak Blvd. and continue on to IH-610 West Loop southbound frontage road to Fournace Pl. An alternate detour is via the Bellaire Blvd. exit. Take the U-Turn back to Fournace Place.
