Spring has sprung! – Dress Code Reminders
 |
|
As we start to experience warmer weather into the spring, it is important that we share reminders about our dress code, which is listed clearly in HCPS Board Policy 4316. Some highlights of the policy that we have seen an uptick in lately include tube tops, spaghetti straps, crop tops, and revealing shorts and skirts. None of these items are allowed. Additionally, we have seen an increase in clothing with drug and alcohol brands or references. These items are also not allowed. Please help us by helping your child make the right decisions before leaving the house in the morning. We thank you for your cooperation and support in upholding Board Policy. |

Eagle of the Week
 |
| This week, we are excited to shout out Ms. Rauschenbauch and her amazing Entrepreneurship classes as Eagles of the Week!! They all stepped up to plan and execute our 3rd annual Book Fair — assisting customers, helping set up, running the register, advertising, and even hosting a spirit week and door decorating contest. They were always giving a helping hand, and we are so proud of them. These students went all out and we wanted to give them a huge thanks for making the Book Fair a success – with close to $2000 in sales!!! |
Semester 2 Attendance Recovery
Attendance matters. Please make every effort to be at school every day. Missing school means missing valuable instruction. Should a student go over 5 absences for one or more classes, they will have the following opportunities for attendance recovery throughout the semester.
 |
Saturday School will be offered this semester on the following dates:
Saturday School requires advanced sign-up and costs $20 per Saturday. Students may earn up to 6 hours of attendance recovery per Saturday. |
 |
Morning Attendance Recovery will be offered twice per week this year on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6:45-7:45am in Mr. Rotton’s room (B-2). Morning recovery begins March 9th. No advanced sign-up is necessary, and no students will be let in after 6:45am. Please make sure you have things to work on during this time. Each morning recovery session recovers one absence. |
 |
After School Tutoring will be offered three days per week starting March 9th – Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – from 3:15-4:15pm in Mrs. Wodzicki’s room (F-10). Transportation will not be provided, so please make arrangements to be picked up at 4:15pm if attending. Each after school tutoring session recovers one absence. IMPORTANT: While attendance recovery is awarded for this time, students must be present for tutoring and academic work. |

This Week in Eagle Country

It was a fantastic night showcasing our academic, club and extra curricular offerings, our counseling department, and our Freshman Academy. Attendees also enjoyed free popcorn and color-changing lemonade, as well as our Scholastic Book Fair. We can’t wait to officially welcome our Class of 2030 in August! | |

| On Tuesday, March 10th, East Henderson High School once again hosted the orchestra MPA event at our school. Mrs. Quinn worked tirelessly to plan for and execute this event, and we are so proud of her efforts to put on a great competition! On top of that, she led both the middle school and high school orchestras to incredible success: –7th grade Orchestra (The youngest musicians to play today!!) received an Excellent (a II!) –8th Grade Orchestra received a Superior Rating for the 2nd year in a row!–EHHS Orchestra received straight Superiors! All 4 judges gave us superiors!! |

On Thursday, March 12th, our Concert Band traveled to Brevard High School to perform our Band MPA and the ensemble received a rating of Superior (in grade terms, an A)! This is our equivalent to an EOC but instead of being based on individuals, it is a full group effort. The students have been putting in the work throughout the year and more so even with all the snow/ice. Congratulations to these band students and their fantastic leader, Mrs. Morris! Enjoy the band’s performance HERE. |

  |
| On March 10th & 11th, a group of EHHS student leaders participated in the GEM (Girls EMpowered) panel for both Upward Elementary and Flat Rock Middle School. These ladies answered questions about what high school is like and just about anything else the GEM girls had to ask. Thank you to Jade, Nicki, Natalie, Addi & Marybeth! | |

|
| Our amazing Child Nutrition department is always up for a spirit week, and our Book Fair Spirit Week was no exception! Here are Ms. Melanie and Ms. Jennifer twinning on Thursday! | |

|
On March 21st, Fluor Field (home of the Greenville Drive) hosted a high school baseball doubleheader as part of their pre-season amateur showcase, and our own Nickle Specncer sang the National Anthem between the games! Brody Taylor also got to be the bat boy for one of the teams at the same game. It was a great day for these two guys and their families. We are so proud of Nickle and Brody! |
