Happy Pride!

Once again, EVCS attended this year's Pride Parade! Everyone had a wonderful time celebrating and marching together including alumni, students, parents/guardians, families, and staff.


Thank you to Ms. Phillips and Ms. Everette for organizing for EVCS to participate in the parade. And a special thank you to the members of the EVCS community who supported those marching by greeting us along the length of the parade.
