✨ Senior Events:
Senior Grad Nite | May 13–14, 2027
Sign up now to reserve your spot for the Grad Nite trip! Space is limited and the first bus filled up quickly (it’s full). If you are on the wait list for the second bus, you may or may not be able to attend. There are many variables that factor into attending…such as keeping the first bus filled, and filling a second bus, Disney’s available space prior to our trip, and more. Ideally, we want everyone who wants to go, to be able to go. Please do your best to help us fill a second bus so we can try to accommodate everyone who wants to go. Timing will be a factor in whether or not Disney allows us more tickets, so timing is crucial too. Please understand that we are doing all we can, but it is definitely up to the students to sign up for the wait list.
See the Disney Grad Nite Flyer for additional information.

SCHOLARSHIP SUGGESTIONS (Where to Start)
Email: [email protected] or stop by the ASB Office for a tool to help you know what scholarships to apply for.
Here's where you need to start (you will use these same items over and over multiple times, so you just need one copy of each):
- Request letters of recommendation from 3-4 teachers and/or coaches.
- Email Mrs. Medina at [email protected] in the Counseling Center to request a copy of your transcript that is stamped and signed. Ask if she will email it to you as a PDF.
- Start writing an essay about yourself. Think of it as a "commercial" about yourself so the scholarship committee learns a little about you. Include your plans/goals and how you will achieve them. You can also note how the scholarship funds will help you.
- Create an Academic Resume. You can use the provided template in the “Google Classroom: Seniors Class of 2027” to gather information, but you should use Canva to create a really nice one. (Karen will help at the ASB office if you don't know how to do this. It's very simple.)
- Complete the EHS General Scholarship Application. Although not all of the scholarships use this application, a good majority do. Once you complete this, you can use this for many of your scholarships. You can find the EHS General Scholarship Application template in the “Google Classroom: Seniors Class of 2027”
