I love Eureka High School! It has made me into the person I am today. The teachers are there for you and want to help you grow. I have also grown so much as an athlete because of amazing coaches and volunteers. I always feel safe at Eureka and it is always a great place to be!

Don't let the 'small town' status of Eureka deceive...
