Welcome Back, Tigers!

We are looking forward to welcoming students back to school for the 2023-2024 school year! I'm excited and honored to be the new principal at ESHS and look forward to supporting our students, staff, and community. I appreciate the warm welcome I've received and am inspired by the incredible opportunities that exist here for students, as well as the commitment to ensure our students are getting an exceptional education that prepares them for the future.

High school is a 4-year experience of dreaming big, discovering strengths, exploring options, and developing habits that lead to success. Our goal is for students to graduate with an abundance of opportunities and the ability to choose their path forward in life.

This starts with ensuring a smooth beginning to the school year. Within this newsletter, you'll find information about our upcoming back-to-school events. We can't wait to see all of our Tigers at these events and on the first day of school, Wednesday, August 23rd.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sara Wickham

ESHS Principal
