Weekly Events at EHS!
SENIORS & PARENTS: There are still quite a few seniors who have not shared a senior picture and 2 baby/kid pictures with Mrs. Yackley. The deadline is APRIL 1st. Students who do not get their pictures in by the deadline may not be featured in senior publications like the newspapers, yearbook, class composite, and graduation slideshow, so please get these sent to Mrs. Yackley right away! Details about what is needed are in the Class of 2025 Google Classroom.
As a reminder....there are a number of local/regional scholarships due over the next several days, so I encourage seniors to make sure they have their application materials in on time (see my scholarship website for listing: https://elktonschoolcounseling.weebly.com/scholarships.html
Congrats to the Elkton Junior High Students who made honor roll for the 3rd Quarter!
