The things I really enjoyed about EPJ were the great staff we have here. We have numerous teachers who truly care about each and every student's success, and the hard work they put in for us reflects this. The teachers push us to do better in our academics. We also have coaches that care greatly about us as well. Our facilities are always clean and well maintained, and I feel safe coming to school every day.

There are many options when it comes to sports, but the arts are not as popular with many students and parents. There aren't many after school activities. There is however, many volunteering opportunities for students.
