JULY 2026                                                                                                THE EPCHS MONTHLY

Dear EPCHS Families,

We hope this summer update finds you and your family doing well!

Although regular classes are not in session, there is still plenty happening at your community high school. Summer camps, summer school, our Bridge Program, and numerous construction and facility improvement projects continue to keep our campus active as we move through July. Our maintenance and custodial teams have been working diligently to prepare classrooms, hallways, and school facilities so they are ready to welcome students and staff back for another successful year.

We encourage you to enjoy these remaining weeks of summer with family and friends. As we all know, summer has a way of passing by quickly. Before long, the first day of school will be here, bringing new opportunities, new experiences, and a fresh start for everyone.

We look forward to welcoming our students back next month with renewed energy and enthusiasm as we begin the 2026–2027 school year. Together, let's make it our best year yet!

Sincerely,

Thomas O'Malley

Superintendent

Numbers continue to show the progress that has been made in the classroom, and on test scores, at Evergreen Park Community High School. This has been particularly true in the category of Advanced Placement offerings. Have a look at a few academic statistical highlights from the past school year: 

MUSIC DEPARTMENT FEATURED ON PODCAST: A banner year for the EPCHS music department was highlighted in a recent episode of The EP Podcast. Choir Director Logan Scalf represented the department in an interview with Podcast host Chris Lanuti and talked about a few of the many accolades the band, choir and color guard received this past year.

EPCHS' band members, color guard team, football players and cheerleaders brought Mustang Pride to the Village of Evergreen Park Independence Day Parade

The Evergreen Park High School Foundation had a record high 130 golfers come out for their golf outing fundraiser at Coyote Run Golf Course in Flossmoor the first week of June. The Foundation is a non-profit entity that works year round to help current EPCHS students continue their education after high school. 

Thank you to all who came out to make this the most successful Foundation golf outing yet. 

Current EPCHS students and Future Mustangs alike have been honing their skills across the board in a variety of athletics and activities on campus. Here's a look at a few: 

- Strength & Conditioning Camp has included more than 100 campers this year, a sharp increase from recent summers. 

- Football players have been putting in daily training sessions - in the weight room, on the football field and by watching film - in preparation for the upcoming season. 

- Cheerleaders have taken part in a pair of camps with local and national experts who have visited our campus. 

- The Spotlight on 99th Summer Theater Camp presented two performances at the end of June. High School theater campers performed "Fame Jr.," while our Future Mustangs currently in 3rd through 8th grade presented "Dare to Dream Jr." on stage at the Batho Auditorium. 

Summer camps at EPCHS will continue through the end of July. Use the QR Code in the flyer below to see which camps are still accepting registrations.
