NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS
Dear Cougar Families,
What an outstanding year! I hope this last message of the year finds our families and students doing well as we start summer break.
We look forward to welcoming our incoming 9th grade families into our community. For our EMS families, it was a joy to attend the 8th Grade Continuation.
As EHS’s principal, I am very proud of everything students achieved during the 2023-2024 school year. We are excited to recharge over the summer and welcome the Cougar family back in August.
We are excited to see you all in August. Until then, feel free to reach out via email (skyler.artes@jeffco.k12.co.us), phone (303.982.5126), or simply drop by.
As we make our way toward the 2024-25 school year, we will continue to maintain our tradition of excellence by celebrating each student as an individual. This makes EHS an excellent school, an exceptional community and a model for extraordinary student culture.
Warm regards,
Dr. Skyler Artes, Principal

If the free period is approved, the student may leave campus during their free period.

EHS Bell Schedule
After polling students and teachers, EHS is shifting block days back to Wednesday and Thursday.
Block periods are shortened to 80 minutes.
We will have two Advise periods to help students access extra help on each block day.
Block days will have a single lunch. Kitchen staff will be increasing to support this.
The single lunch will help our clubs and activities create meeting times for students during the school day. This supports equitable access to clubs and activities for those students who ride the bus or who have other before and after school obligations.
Student Schedules--2024-25
Student schedules will be available on Infinite Campus on Monday, August 12th after 3:00 p.m.
Please note that during the district’s summer updates to Infinite Campus, draft schedules are visible for a 2-day period. These schedules are not correct. Finalized schedules will be published on Monday, August 12.
Error in a student’s schedule? EHS builds its course schedule and budget around student course registrations. EHS makes every effort to correct scheduling errors. The schedule adjustment policy is available through this link. Outside of correcting errors, EHS is not always able to honor new course requests in the fall.
