Save the Date for Freshman Orientation

Freshman Orientation
Class of 2029

Thursday, July 31, 2025
9:00-11:30am
East Henderson High School

Rising freshmen will learn the ins and outs of being an Eagle at this event.  Students will visit sessions on a rotating schedule with counselors, upperclassmen, administrators, and teachers. They will also be able to walk their schedule and pick up their chromebooks for the year.  More details will be forthcoming, but please “Save the Date” for Thursday, July 31st!  We look forward to welcoming our Class of 2029!

Eagle Athletics

You may purchase your 2025-2026 athletics pass at the gate/door of any East High home game or by visiting the main office during school hours.

Pass Prices

$120 for adults

$50 for students

Please note that the gate prices for games have increased for the 25-26 school year to $8 per game for all sports.  Buying a pass is a money-saving option for both students and adults.

Class of 2026 Senior Portrait Information

Senior Portraits for the Class of 2026

Monday, July 21 or Tuesday, July 22
EHHS Media Center

Senior Portraits included in your school’s yearbook will require students dressed in either a Black Drape or a Tuxedo. Prestige will provide these outfits at the time of your session. Please wear appropriate undergarments under these outfits. We suggest a white t-shirt to wear under the tux and something strapless to wear under the drape. Also, don’t forget to bring up to two casual outfits for your Essential or Mini Sessions.

You must schedule your session in advance.  To schedule and pay for your session, or visit prestigeportraits.com. If you don’t have your 8-digit code, you can search your school by city and state (East Flat Rock, NC)

Questions? Please email us at prestigebwarea@lifetouch.com. We look forward to sharing this milestone with you and providing outstanding photography and customer service.

If you cannot be at the July session, we will have make-up senior portraits on Wednesday, October 1 in the media center as a final option. 

Parking Passes

Parking passes may be purchased from the main office for $50 for the year.  Students who will only need parking for a semester will pay $25.

Seniors who are planning to paint their parking spot MUST purchase their parking pass before being allowed to paint.  Please see your Google Classroom for additional parking spot painting information and procedures as the summer continues.

News from the Nest Newsletter

The “News from the Nest” weekly newsletter exists to keep our Eagle families informed and connected to what’s happening around campus and to the information that they most need to know.  It is updated and sent out each Monday morning for the week ahead.  You can access News from the Nest in the menu bar above, under General Information, or by clicking this direct link:

Beginning of the Year Checklist

It won’t be long before we’re welcoming students back to campus, and that means students need to take care of some tasks to start the year off well.  Here are some tasks to get you started:

Save the Date for our Pop In & Pick Up time slots on July 31, August 4 & August 7.  Choose one time to come in, and you can pick up your chromebook, fill out important forms, purchase athletic and parking passes, and get bus information.

Fill out the Digital Completion Form as soon as possible for each child in an HCPS school.  If this form is not completed, a chromebook will not be issued to your child.

If you would like chromebook insurance for your child, please fill out the Insurance Form and pay. This is optional.  Here is a list of Chromebook Fees to show you what costs are associated with different types of damage.

HCPS will no longer be offering Universal Breakfast. That means filling out the Lunch Form is more important than ever. Please fill it out to see what benefits your family may qualify for for the upcoming year.

The more of these items you can check off your list before school starts the better.  Thank you for helping us start the year smoothly.  Go Eagles!

From the Nurse's Desk

Hello, East Henderson High School families!
My name is Kathryn West, your school nurse. I wanted to send you all a little information for the new school year. First, you are welcome to call me any time during the school day if you have any needs, concerns, or questions. You can usually reach me by calling the front office and asking for the school nurse. You can also call or text me on my cell phone at 828-230-9111.  I am fluent in both English and Spanish so I can help the majority of our families communicate in their preferred language.

Medical Care Plans and Daily Medication:

If you have any medical concerns for your child, please reach out to me and I will walk you through the process of getting the needed care for your child while they are at school. Each student is unique, and I would love to help develop a medical plan for your student if needed to make this year a success. Examples of possible conditions benefiting from care plans include diabetes, asthma, seizure disorders, allergies, ADHD/ADD, anxiety and more.  Care plans and medication authorization forms must be completed each school year. We must have a form signed by a parent and a Primary Care Provider for ALL medications (including non-prescription medications like cough drops, nasal sprays, pain relievers, vitamins, etc.). If your child needs to have any medications at school, please contact me for the correct form or visit the “School Nurse” tab on the East Henderson High School website or HCPS website.

Over the Counter Medications:

Your student may come to see me at any time (with teacher permission) during the year with any medical concerns. There may be times when your student may benefit from an over-the-counter medication to assist in being able to complete the school day. The Over-the-Counter Medication Authorization Form is very helpful to have completed for your student each school year. I have listed all the medications available for students, but I must have this form completed to give them to your student (including topical creams).

Vaccination Information:

Please take a look at the NCDHHS Vaccine Requirements for K-12 School Age Children and the NC Immunication Chart to make sure your child is up to date on all required vaccines before school starts.

When to stay home:

Per county guidelines, please do not send your child to school if they have any of the following symptoms:

• Fever greater than 100.4. Once the fever is gone for 24 hours, without giving the child any fever reducing medicines (Tylenol, ibuprofen, Advil, etc.), your child may return to school.
• Throwing up (2 or more times in 24 hours) or having diarrhea (3 or more watery stools in 24 hours). Your child needs to stay at home for at least 24 hours after the last time they threw up/had diarrhea.
• Has been diagnosed with an infection (ex. pink eye or strep throat). Once they have been on an antibiotic medication for 12 hours -OR- you have a doctor’s note to return to school, your child can come back to school.

Thank you for helping me keep your student, and every student at the school, as healthy as possible! Again, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
