Fall Family Weekend
October 23-24, 2026
Fall and Spring Family Weekends are designed to give EHS parents and guardians the opportunity to see their students compete and perform, and to meet with faculty members, hear from Grade Deans and outside speakers, and connect with fellow EHS families.
Please remember that pets, including hypoallergenic breeds, are not allowed in any buildings and must be leashed at all times. We do have individuals on campus with severe allergies and some who are very frightened of dogs in particular. We appreciate your support of this important campus protocol.

Is your younger child thinking about applying for the 2026-27 or 2027-28 school year? We are planning a fun-filled morning on Friday, October 23, during Family Weekend, designed just for brothers and sisters of current EHS students! This will be an engaging introduction to the EHS community, and a chance for siblings to connect with each other from 10:15 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Interested prospective students can also reach out to schedule an interview for later that afternoon between 1:00-3:00 p.m. No dressy classroom attire needed. Register now! Questions? Contact Meg Weidenheimer in Admissions |
