Erie High School is so blessed to have so many private individuals, families, honorary memorials, community groups, alumni and local businesses that support our students with many private scholarships. A HUGE THANK YOU to each any every supporter that helped provide funds and support for our EHS Seniors. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

A special shout out to Mr. Jaren Han, our middle school principal, who helped with the "behind the scene" work on the EHS Virtual Scholarship Awards Program. Thank you Mr. Han!

Our EHS Seniors will take their senior pictures on Friday, May 8th from 9 am- 12 noon. Mrs. Strark is coordinating the scheduled times, so the proper social distancing and COVID 19 Protocols can be followed. Each senior's cap and gown will be available to be picked up on Friday, when the students come to take their pictures.

Our EHS Seniors may complete the senior check out process on Friday, May 8th. All senior students are encouraged to return all textbooks, computers, chargers, computer bags and any other school own property on Friday (unless they are still using the items for educational purposes). In addition, the students will be given an opportunity to clean out their lockers, desks and pick up any of their student projects (if all outstanding fees have been resolved). For shop projects, the students will need to coordinate those items through their respective teachers.

As a reminder, our EHS Students have a very special opportunity to "Lock In" their final semester grade for their high school courses on Monday, May 4th, if their cumulative grade in that course is a C or higher. The comprehensive curriculum plan is listed below:

Our current instructional format will continue through Friday, May 1st and grades will be calculated by Monday, May 4th.*

After the final calculations on May 4th, students that have a grade of C or higher in a specific course, may elect to end their semester of instruction, in that specific course. These students may accept their May 4th posted grade as their final semester grade or they may choose to continue with the educational process, until they are satisfied with their current grade, pending it is a C or higher or until May 13th, whichever comes first. Students who continue with the instructional plan, will earn their accumulated grade accordingly. The decision to opt out of future instruction must be approved by both the student and the parent/guardian.

Students with grades of a D or F will continue their academic instruction through May 13th, working on additional content and/or remedial academic work that will be determined by each classroom teacher, in an effort to provide additional academic support to our academic at-risk population. Once a student obtains a posted cumulative grade of a C or higher during that continued instructional time period, the student and custodial parent may make the decision to end their semester with that grade being accepted as final.

All decisions to opt out of future class instruction will be verified by direct two way communication with the student, parent/guardian and teacher of each given class.

*Note- All College Credit Courses are exempt from this proposal, since they must meet the requirements of the college, granting the academic credit.

*All final grades will be calculated into the student’s cumulative GPA and recorded on their permanent transcript.

*Future scholarships and other opportunities are often associated with a student’s cumulative GPA. (i.e. NCCC provides a $450 per semester scholarship to EHS students who have a 3.6 GPA or higher.)

As a reminder, our USD 101 Food Service Deliveries are now following the following schedule: Monday/Tuesday Meals will be sent home on Monday and Wednesday/Thursday/Friday Meals will be sent home on Wednesday. This will be the food service schedule through the end of May.

To enhance our communication to our extended Red Devil Family, we are going to be expanding the use of twitter. You can follow the EHS Twitter Account @ErieRedDevils.
