The best part about EHS was the music and arts teachers, we've had many teachers who don't deserve the title and respect given to them however the arts teachers are always there for their students. The worst part is the bullying and discrimination if you're even slightly different, I'd definitely like to see that change.

The staff are very caring and love to get to know their students. Many of them sincerely care about their students and enjoy helping them with not only school work, but with everyday problems as well. There are some things that could be changed for the better, but you will find that any school you look at.
