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.
As you make your travel plans, please note the following:
Family Weekend programming takes place on Friday and Saturday.
Students will not be in classes on Friday, but they will be involved in extracurricular events alongside families throughout the day.
Friday night is a Community Night with a community dinner for families, and no overnight leaves for students.
Saturday overnight leaves are possible for students, but classes will be held on Monday, unlike Fall Family Weekend, so all students need to be back on campus by 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 14.
Conference scheduling will begin in March and details will be shared in upcoming family bulletins.
