The main change i would like to see at EHS is the IEP program i was apart of this program for all four years ive been a student at ehs and I have gotten 0 support from any one mainly my case manager the only time he ever talked to me was once at the start of the year with a required meeting with my parents and all he would talk about is my grades never offer support.

I enjoy Eureka High School. I like the ag department best. The facilities and classes there outshine all others on campus. I'd like to see some outdoor classes or clubs offered. I know a lot of my classmates, and it is a generally good community.
