Principal
Grad night is a parent organized and managed committee that plans a post graduation safe and sober all-night “party” for the graduating Seniors. I try to support this group as much as possible along the way, but this is strictly a parent led activity that needs some great people to step up and lead the way. Last years chairperson, Heidi Murphy, did an excellent job of leading a group of several volunteers who worked hard and provided the EHS Seniors of 2015 a fantastic experience following their graduation ceremony. We have already had a couple parents step up and say they want to assist with the 2016 GRAD NIGHT committee, but they are still looking for someone to take the lead of this group. If you think you might be willing or interested, contact me here at the school (Gary Carpenter 541-935-8200 ext. 201) or via email and I will point you in the right direction. Go Falcons!

Each year US News and World report puts out an article that ranks the nations top High Schools. A few years back, EHS made the list and earned a silver medal. The list of 2014 schools just came out and 28 Oregon High Schools made the list. Once again, EHS has made the cut, ranking as the 24th High School in the state of Oregon. For perspective, we are also the highest ranking 4A school on the list, and one of only two Lane County schools on the Oregon list (with the other being South Eugene). Thanks to all the teachers, parents, students and volunteers that make this possible. Go Falcons!
