This week, ERHS DECA is proud to sponsor Colon Cancer Awareness Week to bring attention to the importance of early detection and preventative health.

Colon cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when caught early, yet screening often gets overlooked. Throughout the week, our DECA students will be sharing vital facts and encouragement across campus, urging all eligible parents, staff, and family members to speak with their healthcare providers about getting screened.

Taking charge of your health sets a powerful example for our students and community. Thank you for supporting our DECA members as they lead this critical health initiative!

"How now, spirits? Whither wander you?" Step into our enchanted world where the big top meets the forest with our first-ever SCHOOL-WIDE spirit week! Enter the circus full of love, whimsy, and tomfoolery when you see A Midsummer Night's Dream at ERHS on Oct. 22-25.

Digital4Good has partnered with Google to offer FREE AI and digital safety training for school communities!

As incidents involving generative AI and deepfake technology increasingly impact school campuses, educators and school admin are being asked to help families understand how to navigate these emerging technologies while keeping their children safe. However, many schools don't have the time or resources to develop this training themselves.

That’s why Digital4Good is offering a FREE live webinar series for educators and parents.

The training covers AI, screen time, online safety, digital well-being, and Google’s family-friendly technology tools, while giving participants practical resources they can take back to their homes and school communities.

The next live session is coming up soon! Join us on Wednesday, October 7, at 1:30 PM CST.
