It sounds like the Respect Retreat organized by Youth Frontiers for EHS sophomores was a valuable experience. These types of events can have a positive impact on students by creating awareness about the importance of respect and encouraging a positive and inclusive school culture.
The retreat included various activities and discussions aimed at promoting respect among students. Students engaged in team-building exercises, discussions on communication and empathy, and other activities designed to foster a sense of community and understanding.
Events like the Respect Retreat contribute to creating a school environment where students feel safe, supported, and valued. The lessons and experiences gained during such retreats can have a lasting impact, influencing students' behavior and attitudes in their daily interactions.
Thank you to Youth Frontiers and EHS Mentors for a great day!!!

The music department is excited to announce that we have 6 students leaving today for the WI State High School Honors Mixed Choir and Honors Band. This is the biggest accomplishment we have in the state for choir and band students. Students prepared for a rigorous audition in early February. Students are then selected out of about 1400 auditions throughout the state in late March. They attend a 4-day camp at U.W. Green Bay to begin to meet the nationally recognized conductors, learn music, and finally meet back up in Madison in late October to perform at the beautiful Overture Center.
We are so very lucky to have 6 students chosen and performing this Thursday evening.
WI State Mixed Choir: Lander Levers, Betsy Foster, Mya Petersen, Maleah Petersen, and Bailey Oleson
WI State High School Band: Landen Lee
We also have one student who auditioned and is performing with the WI State Middle-Level Honors Choir in Madison this Saturday. Henry Penn
Please congratulate these students and wish them good luck!!
On 10/23 a group of EHS students attended Teach Day at UW-Stout. Teach Day actively involves high school students in the exploration of one of our seven teacher preparation programs: Art Ed, Early Childhood Ed, Family and consumer Sciences Ed, Marketing & Business Ed, Math Ed, Special Ed, and Tech Ed. Students had the opportunity to hear firsthand experiences from the UW-Stout students enrolled in these programs and tour campus.
