We encourage all applicants and their families to personally visit the campus for an interview and campus tour. In addition, a personal interview is a required part of the application process and a great opportunity for students to learn more about EHS. Applicants will interview with one of our Admissions Officers and parents/guardians will have the opportunity to meet with the Admissions Officer as well.
While visiting, students are also welcome to observe a class, meet with teachers or coaches, attend chapel and lunch, or watch an athletic or performing arts practice as our schedule allows. Just let us know of your requests when scheduling your appointment.
Visits are typically scheduled during the academic year for Monday through Friday between 8:50 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. Although there are no academic classes on Saturdays, we will be offering tours and interviews on the following days during the 2010-11 academic year: Oct. 2, Oct. 16 (as part of Parents' Weekend, priority will be given to siblings of current students), Oct 23, Oct. 30, Dec. 4, Dec 11, Jan. 8, and Jan. 15. Saturday interviews are scheduled at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. Please be aware that there are no academic classes on Saturday.
You should plan to spend about two hours on campus for your tour and interview. To assist us in our planning and to make your visit more informative, students are encouraged to submit any completed pieces of the application before coming to campus. Interviews should be completed by the Jan. 15 deadline.
While we would like to meet you in person, for international students or other applicants who are unable to make it to campus, please contact the Admissions Office to set up a phone or "Skype" interview (we must have a complete application on file before arranging this appointment).

Please contact the Admissions Office for more information.
Revisit Days
In the spring of 2011, there will be two formal Accepted Student Revisit Days available to students who have been offered a place in the student body for the 2011-12 academic session. Revisit days offer students the opportunity to attend classes, meet with EHS faculty and students, and experience EHS again prior to making their enrollment decision. These revisit days also include sessions for parents. The Revisit Days for 2011 will be held on Monday, March 28 and Monday, April 4.
Invitations for the Accepted Student Revisit Days will be mailed with letters of acceptance on March 10. Families are encouraged to call early to sign up for these events as there will be a limited number of spaces.
Accepted Students who wish to schedule an overnight visit to the school may do so in lieu of the Revisit Day program on selected dates in late March and early April. More detailed information will be sent with the acceptance mailing.
