Current EPS 8th grade students will soon have an opportunity to learn more about the next steps in their education as they participate in discussions with high school counselors regarding their course registration for the upcoming school year.

High school counselors will visit each EPS middle school in February to distribute course registration information which outlines courses offered to 9th graders, as well as specific course recommendations.

Parents will also receive a video link to further explain the registration process and course offerings.  Students and parents should then discuss the recommendations and elective courses and complete the forms prior to the second round of counselor-visits in late February and early March to finalize courses.

After demonstrating outstanding leadership potential, Katherine Nichols was selected to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar.  The HOBY Seminar, a yearly summer event held at a Nebraska College or University, will be held at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. HOBY’s mission is to inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation.

Cole Lumsden was selected to attend the Nebraska Leadership Seminar (NLS) at Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska this summer. Nebraska Leadership Seminar, Inc.
