Students and parents should plan to visit college/university campuses on non-school days or outside of school hours. If this is not possible and students will be absent three or more school days, a Pre-Planned Authorization Form must be filled out, signed and authorized prior to the absence. If this process is followed, the absence will be verified. Forms are available in the attendance office.
Attendance Reminder:
Students absent 3 or more days for a pre-planned absence should complete the “Pre-Planned Authorization” form.
The forms are located in the EHS Attendance Office.
- The form should be completed and submitted prior to the planned absence. We recommend at least one week or more in advance.
- The student is responsible for arranging make-up assignments with all teachers before the absence to receive credit for the work.
- Vacation absences beyond 5 days will be marked as unexcused. These absences will count in the excessive absence policy.

National Honor Society members are required to complete 12 hours of approved service/volunteer hours each trimester, totaling 36 hours per year. Students are able to accumulate 5 hours of community service over the summer which can count toward their 12 fall trimester hours. Please be aware that these hours must be separate from any required service related to other organizations of which you may be a member.

All high school activity buses depart at 4:50pm. We will issue an Activity Pass for the entire school year for students needing the late bus home from school. The activity bus pass will be for students participating in after school sports or club and the one day pass will be for students staying after school for other reasons. Students with the pass will need to hold onto the pass and present to the driver when they board the bus. Students will not be allowed on the activity bus if they do not have a pass. Please stop by the Main Office to ask for a pass.
Activity Buses leave at 4:50 PM from the South Entrance
