MHSAA Live Video Streaming

Once again we are pleased to provide a service to our Escanaba Schools families.  Our Broadcasting Club advisor moved to a new position this year at the ISD, so we are happy to have Cheri Lehto, one of our EHS teachers, taking over the advisory role.  With her help and that of some experienced Broadcasting club student members, we will be making our first attempt of the year at live streaming tonight's  Jr./Sr. High Orchestra Concert, as well as Monday night's (Dec. 21st) Jr./Sr. High Chorus & Chorale concert.  If you are not able to watch it live, it will be available on the MHSAA site for future viewing.

Generosity is Contagious!

It always amazes me the generosity of our community when it comes to our students.  

We have a gentlemen who drops off new clothing items for our boys and girls clothes closets at the Jr./Sr. High School almost weekly.  

A local community member dropped off a $5000 check yesterday for our "Christmas Kids" program here at the Jr./Sr. High that provides a party and gift certificates to almost 200 of our most needy children here at school.  Ensuring an extra special Christmas for each of them.

Today, I even had a 9th grade girl approach me, asking for my assistance, because her mom was giving her $300 for Christmas and she wanted to turn around and donate it to students here in the Escanaba district who might be struggling, so they could have a nice Christmas. 

It warms my heart, that our staff, students, and community are so generous and supportive. 

 Thank you for your kindness.

What a great place to be!

I hope that caught your eye... That one statement holds so much truth and clarity.  After serving in my new role as the EHS principal for the past 6 months, I have witnessed the fantastic skills and compassion that are exhibited by our teachers here at the high school. This group of teachers has stepped up to take on a variety of leadership roles in helping to make our school run like a well oiled machine. Normally, there would be growing pains while a new administrator takes the helm, but not in this case. The entire staff has really been supportive and understanding as they get used to new leadership and the changes that comes with it.  I truly appreciate the strength and student focused atmosphere that the staff of EHS exhibits daily. Thank you for all you do for our students and families!  Thanks to all of you...
