#FindInnerGenius - There's no better place to experience EHS's magic than at a school-wide event like a football game. You'll see cheerleaders and football players exhibiting heart and athleticism, talented performing arts students singing the National Anthem, dedicated dads volunteering at the grills, enthusiastic students and parents showing school spirit, and all supporting a service project like bone marrow swabbing for Gift of Life. #KnightsStandOut
