Student athletes - If you have one of the old letterman's jackets, you can purchase letters and chevrons through Mrs. Haught at the school store. If you have a new letterman's jacket, you need to order the jacket through Josten's (see QR code on flyer). The EF Athletic Department will order the letters and chevrons after the coach informs them of how many are needed. Then they will be presented to the athlete at their banquet.

EFHS parents, please check your LiveGrades account for a message from Dr. Westfall.

Attention Students and Parents, Anyone that is interested in the Mountaineer Challenge Academy must reach out to the counseling office right away. The Mountaineer Challenge Academy is an alternative High School Diploma pathway program offered by the State of West Virginia and located on Camp Dawson Military Base in Preston County. The program lasts 6 months and allows cadets to graduate with a high school diploma, provided they meet the requirements of the program. Students must be 16 years old at the start of the next session January 10. We have had many students successfully complete the program and earn their diploma early. There is no tuition cost for the program. If you are interested, please stop by the counseling office and sign up on the list to meet with the MCA representative on November 5. Also, if you have any questions or would like an application, see Mrs. Copenhaver in the counseling office.

The MC BOE recently accepted a resolution to recognize MCS as a Purple Heart District. Many WVs are veterans of the Unites States armed forces and have families with children attending school. During times when these families relocate to meet duty requirements or experience the absence of a loved one while on deployment, MCS has an opportunity to meet the unique needs of these children. The Purple Star Award is designed to recognize schools that create a military-friendly environment and make a special commitment to supporting the resilience of military connected children. For more information, contact L.D. Skarzinski, Administrative Assistant of C&I, at lskarzin@k12.wv.us or visit https://wvde.us/commonground/.
