Open Quote The administration at the high school and the superintendent need to be replaced at this school. The superintendent does not have an education background and makes decisions that aren't in the best interest of students. He also runs off good educators but the school board is clueless. The principal and AD at the high school are very much under his wing and won't admit if a mistake has been made that might ruin a student's career. Close Quote

Open Quote This school has been very unfair to many students. The admin at the school and dist needs to go. If you have a certain last name you get away with a lot. Close Quote

Open Quote You will find that this school does nothing to help children who struggle with school work. The worse highschool I have ever been part of. I have been in the Cherry Creek School District, as well. I saw some more support there, but EHS is awful. Do your research before you send your child Close Quote
