EHS did well when compared to other schools around the state in regards to Graduation Rate data recently released by the Oregon Department of Education. The most often used rates are 4 & 5 year Graduation and Completer Rates. The Graduation Rates for 13-14 (both 4 and 5 year) take into account the % of students that earned a regular or modified diploma in this time frame. The state average for 4 and 5 year graduation rates was 71.98% and 75.90 % respectively. At EHS 79.65% of our students graduated in 4 years and 81.65% graduated within 5 years. Completer Rates take into account students that also earn GED’s for example. The state average for 4 and 5 year Completer Rates were 76.90% and 82.15%, while at EHS those same rates were 82.30% and 86.24%. The staff at EHS continues to work to adapt the services and resources available to families to better meet the needs of our students and community. One of the primary indicators of graduation rates is attendance at school. This is also one of the best and easiest ways parents can support their students throughout High School. Ensuring the school attendance every day is a priority is critical and sends an important message to our students that an education is valuable. Thank you to all the parents that make school attendance a priority.
NOTE: If you are confused by the graduation rate data in the Register Guard today that shows the FRSD as the lowest in the area with a 56.9 percent 4 year cohort rate. Please be aware that is the result of the EHS rate of 79.65% being combined with the charter school rate (West Lane Technical Learning Center) of 14.04%.
The EHS Grad Night Committee is hosting a dinner auction this Saturday night at 6:00 PM at Silvan Ridge. Visit their facebook page for more information.

TONIGHT: POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL, 7:00 PM @ EHS. The gates open at 6:00 PM, and the game starts at 7:00. This event is a grad-nite fundraiser and costs $3 for students and $5 for adults. If you have never been to a powder puff game you should come on down as they are fun to watch. The girls have been practicing for the past month and are ready to go. The Seniors are on a 7 game winning streak vs. the Juniors, however this Junior team is the strongest one in recent history and the current Vegas Line has the Juniors favored by 9 points…….. Good Luck to both teams.
