Your friends I COMMUNITY LIFE

100% boarding. 100% community. Together. From dawn to dusk. Through thick and thin. In learning and in laughter.

We are a family. A community of students and teachers who wake in the same place every morning, bound by shared experience, collective pride, and constant availability to one another. We discover this feeling the moment we step on campus and never forget it when we leave – a ferocity of spirit and loyalty that spans a lifetime.

All on the same page. All together. There is no home quite like this one.

Lasting Bonds

All EHS freshmen test their limits and build a strong core community by spending five days and four nights on the Appalachian Trail.

9th GRADE PROGRAM

We make the transition to EHS easy and comfortable by doubling down on resources. All 9th graders live together on freshman dorms with dorm parents and a dean devoted to 9th grade issues. All students are paired with advisors who are 9th grade specialists, trained in helping students from a variety of backgrounds acclimate to a challenging academic environment. The result? Successful 9th graders ready to tackle the next three years.
