This school is an extremely nice place for teens and preteens to learn. It is a small school in a small town and is so friendly. The staff and students alike go out of their way to make any new student feel welcome

I have attended Elton High School since I was in the 6th grade and EHS has helped me find and create many opportunities. Through helpful teachers and a driven counselor. I have had the opportunity to represent my school on many occasions through many clubs that EHS has to offer. Such as FFA,FBLA, FCCLA, 4-H and Student Council. I have never heard of another school where their faculty cares so much for their students and their future.

For the most part, the teachers care. In some classes, there is more attention to the athletic side which many love. The teachers give great examples and seek the insight of some students. The best classes are the open discussion English class.
