List of Parental Interventions and Student/Parent Contract Unveiled!

EHS's School Effectiveness Team recently put the finishing touches on a list of interventions designed to help parents deal with struggling students. We also designed a contract to give parents another tool for helping their child(ren) find success. Both items, along with a list of online textbooks and other parent resources, are in the Parent Resources link on the EHS homepage.

SET is made up of students, parents, and teachers who meet four times a year--immediately following the EHS PTO meeting--and discuss how to proactively improve students' experiences at Eureka High School.

All of our work this year has focused on developing this list of interventions and on the contract. Please click here to view the list of interventions or here to view the contract.

Thanks to the School Effectiveness Team for all of their hard work! If you are interested in participating, stay tuned for dates for next year!

NLA Students Spoke to Health Classes

On Monday, April 2, the National Leadership Academy students spoke about the dangers of bullying to the Health classes at EHS. Students performed skits and learned from their peers about the dangers of bullying.

If your student has a health class, ask him/her what he/she thought of the presentation--what a great opportunity to have a conversation about the hurtfulness of bullying!

2012-2013 National Leadership Academy Students Chosen

Exciting news! Eight students from EHS will be traveling to the National Leadership Academy in June in Denver, Colorado. The students were chosen based on recommendations by teachers and administrators. The staff was asked to nominate students they believe have leadership potential. Over 150 students were nominated!

The purpose of the academy is to develop that potential so students can return to their schools and become "movers and shakers" in the groups/clubs/teams in which they participate.

Next year's NLA students will be joining Jessica Bloomrosen and Gino Green, returning NLA students.

Students attending the Academy:

Vaughn Davis
Luke Gentry
Ashlynn Gunhus
Corlena Hall
Trey Kennedy
Marshae Landers
Vanessa Senne
Adam Yancey

If you know these students, please congratulate them!
