Student Drop Offs/Pick-Ups

Students being dropped off/picked up for school may use any of the three main entrances – North, South or East. And, to ensure student safety where buses come, no cars are allowed in the bus zone on the east side entrance of the high school from 7:15 a.m.–8 a.m. and 2:15 p.m.–3 p.m.

"Senior Privilege" Details

Senior privileges will be distributed the first week of school in Connections Class. These privileges will go into effect upon receipt. If seniors missed the deadline to apply for senior privilege last year, they may apply for second term at the end of term one. Please understand that students involved in disruptive or disrespectful activities to start the school year will NOT receive their senior privilege for the first term of the school year and will be disciplined according to the student management guidelines. All school fines must be paid before the Senior Privilege will be issued.

Parent/Student Handbook Guidelines

The 2013/14 Handbook for Parents/Guardians and Students will be reviewed with students the first week of school. Students/families can access the handbook.  Students at EPHS are responsible for all policies and procedures in the Parent/Student handbook.  Students will be required to sign a release form in Connections for the Dean of Students indicating that they have reviewed the handbook.

Educational Talent Search

In cooperation with Hennepin Technical College, EPHS is offering the Educational Talent Search Program. This is a federally funded program through the U.S Department of Education that provides college preparatory, readiness, and success services to students that may come from low-income families, or whose parents do not have baccalaureate degree.
