A Message from Superintendent Dr. M. Elizabeth Hart I am pleased to report that the Class of 2010 was extremely successful academically, having been awarded over $5 million in scholarships for higher education, and 25 seniors achieved Illinois State Scholar recognition. Approximately 50% of our graduates will attend 4-year colleges and universities including all of the Illinois state universities as well as many private universities including the University of Chicago, Loyola, DePaul, Lake Forest, Marquette, and many others. In addition, our graduates will be attending several out-of-state universities such as Michigan State, Purdue, Tennessee State, Drake, and more. During their time at EPCHS, many of our students choose to be enrolled in the dual-credit program with Moraine Valley Community College, thereby graduating from high school with several hours of college credit already achieved. We are proud of our partnership with Moraine Valley and will continue to promote its various programs. Based on a strategic planning process that included input from staff, students, and community members, we have established three goals to work toward over the next five years.
With the support of the community, we continue to renovate our facility. The following renovations will have been completed as of fall 2010:
We are grateful to the dedicated staff, both certified and noncertified members, who work each day to provide a safe, secure, academically challenging, and co-curricular experience for our students. Our parents demonstrate strong support for all programs, many of them participating in parent organizations such as the PTSA, Music Booster Club, and Athletic Booster Club. Finally, we are most grateful to our community that is extremely supportive as we strive to maintain an excellent academic institution and a stable, fiscally responsible organization that is the conscientious steward of public funds. |
