2021 - 2022 New Family Information

All English classes require summer reading. Click here to see the  2021 summer reading list.

For questions related to summer reading please contact English Department Chair, Brad Telford.

EHS offers some classroom accommodations, such as extended time to complete tests, for students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Parents or guardians must notify the Director of Academic Assistance of the need for accommodations and submit the appropriate paperwork, including current educational testing by an EHS approved professional, so that an Education Plan can be created.

A student cannot receive accommodations without an Education Plan in place at EHS.

Please contact the Director of Academic Assistance, Jenny Cantrell, for additional information about this process.
